Letting Go
Amarna Reign Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world to me means nothing
I'm a shadow, you're transparent
I traveled here unseen
I will not forget your face when I return
Casting a curse on the world
from the hate I created
my tongue begins to scald
my presence will test our fate

becoming so unknown
I found out you're the reason that I dwell
I will reap what you sew
I will not return until you feel what I felt
Searching, for these answers
these memories bind me
and I can't seem to let them go
Your face, is a reminder
of the time that I was able to breathe
I have never been a fighter but I’ll fight this
I'll fight this until I am free
Searching, for these answers
these memories bind me
and I can't seem to let them go
I'd be better off just to let it go,
act like it never happened

but I can't seem to let it go
Wipe the blood from your fucking face and fight

Overall Meaning

The song Letting Go by Amarna Reign talks about a person who is lost in his own world and sees no meaning in the world around him. This person refers to himself as a shadow and believes that everyone else around him is transparent, which indicates his disconnection and isolation from society. He has traveled to different places unnoticed and created destructive chaos, which he believes is his way of casting a curse on the world. As a result, he has become unknown to others and feels a constant reminder of his existence through memories associated with the faces of those he has encountered.

He is searching for answers to his problems, but the memories of past events haunted him and prevented him from letting go. He is aware that he would be better off letting go, pretending like nothing happened, but he cannot shake off the thoughts of the memories that bind him. The ending lines indicate a possible physical confrontation, as if he is telling someone else to wipe the blood off their face and fight back, indicating that he needs to fight his own battles.

Overall, the song Letting Go is a powerful song that depicts the struggles of a person who has lost connection with the world around them, and is fighting relentlessly to let go of past events that have haunted him.
