Let me go
Albin Lee Meldau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We said goodbye by the train
She said "don't you overthink a whole deal"
Momma please don't drink
I said "don't worry baby girls, let me think"
Your straight A's and [?]
Black and white they go together nicely babe
So what's the sudden change?
Well, I love you just the same

If you are my fire, fire
Please let me love again
Let there be water, water
Before I go off and faint

Well, you say how you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Love me so, let me go
Let me go

If lovin' is an art
Let a stud unbreak these broken hearts
From the light into the dark
Now it's tearing us apart

If you are my fire, fire
Please let me love again
Let there be water, water
Before I go off and faint

Well, you say how you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Love me so, let me go
Let me go

Well, you say how you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Love me so, let me go
Let me go

Cause you are my fire, fire
Please let me love again
Let there be water, water
Before I go off and faint

Well, you say how you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Love me so, let me go
Let me go

Well, you say how you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me
Love me so, let me go
Let me go

Let me go, if you love me
Let me go, if you love me




Love me so, let me go
Let me go

Overall Meaning

The song Let Me Go by Albin Lee Meldau may seem like a plea to a lover to let go, but it's much more than that. The opening lines suggest that the relationship has already ended, and the singer is reminiscing about a final goodbye at the train station. The line "she said don't you overthink a whole deal" may hint that the singer has a propensity to overthink things and complicate matters, even when they do not warrant it. The next line, "Momma please don't drink," could be a plea to a mother figure not to drown her sorrows in alcohol as a response to the singer's troubles.


The chorus repeatedly asks the lover to let go if they truly love the singer, adding the caveat that they should also let them love again. The last two lines of the chorus, "Let there be water, water // Before I go off and faint," might refer to tears and their cathartic effect—water may be a metaphor for tears, and the singer could be suggesting that their need to express their emotions is urgent and necessary, as indicated by the possibility of fainting.


The second verse, "If lovin' is an art// Let a stud unbreak these broken hearts," could be a reference to the idea that the person who hurt the singer may have been an artist, able to craft and break hearts. It could also suggest that if loving someone requires skill and finesse, the singer is asking for someone who is skilled in breaking hearts to help them mend theirs.


Overall, Let Me Go is a soulful, impassioned, and poignant reflection on the pain of a relationship that has ended and the desire to move forward and love again.
