Let Go
Ark Patrol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dizzy in the head
Saying what you said
When you came home alone
Mumble a reply
Followed by a lie
Leave me wondering why
Partial to the groove
But still you never move
Stubborn through and through
You're just an animal
Stuck inside your clutch
It's chilling to the touch
Never liked it much
But now you won't let go
Back it (back it) down
Admit that I was right
But still you try to fight
And leave me in the night
When you refuse to lose
Step out of the car
Head into the bar
It's nothing new as far
As you're concerned
Wonder who to blame
Your father was the same
Always playing games
And never backing down
You stare at her face
Wondering how to phrase
Her invitation home
You're just a little boy
Back it (back it) down
(Repeat first verse)
The first verse of Ark Patrol feat. Veronika Redd's song Let Go describes a scenario where a person wakes up feeling dizzy and disoriented from a night of being home alone. They attempt to respond to questions from someone else who may have been home with them, but only mumble and eventually lie. The other person's behavior confuses them and makes them wonder what they did wrong. The chorus implies that the person they are addressing is stubborn and refuses to let go of a situation, even if it means acknowledging the other person may be right. Instead, they lash out and leave, using their father's behavior as an excuse for their own.
The second verse takes a closer look at the person's behavior outside of their home. They go to a bar and seem to be repeating a pattern of behavior that is ingrained in them. They struggle to make a decision and blame their father for their actions. The song ends where it started, with the same verse repeating.
Overall, Let Go is a song about someone who is stuck in a cycle of behavior they can't break out of. They are defensive and refuse to take responsibility for their actions, instead blaming their behavior on someone else.
