Mark Eteson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill the lights
I'm fading tonight
I don't wanna be here
You got me tongue-tied
Losing my mind
Every time that you're near
You know its over, we're just wasting time
In search of happy days you know we'll never find

For love, I fought, I've waited
All that I had inside, I gave it
Tried to believe, in time, I'd save it
Sometimes the truth is hard to take
There's nothing to do but walk away

Let go
Let go
Let go

Let go
Let go.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aruna/Aruna Abrams/Dave Parkinson/Mark Eteson's song Let Go revolve around the theme of giving up on a relationship that once held a lot of promise but has now reached its end. The opening verse talks about the singer's reluctance to stay in the relationship, as they feel lost and tongue-tied in the presence of their partner. Despite the emotional connection they once shared, the singer acknowledges that they are wasting their time trying to rekindle a love that no longer exists.

As the chorus repeats the phrase "let go," the singer encourages both themselves and their partner to move on and accept the reality of their situation. The bridge of the song provides insight into the singer's journey to get to this point, admitting that they fought hard for the relationship and poured everything they had into it, only to realize that sometimes, the truth is too hard to ignore. Ultimately, letting go is the only solution, no matter how painful it may be.
