Let's Go
B. James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see this time it goes by fast
The best things in life can't always last
So spend it right it might be your last time
To think to see what's wrong and right
To live to find what's deep inside
It's all apart of your sad lost life
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do

So time is up everyone has had enough
You lost your world, someday you'll lose the girl
It's time to think life isn't something free
You made your bed you better lie in it

This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do

And everything you wanted
And everything you know
And everything you wanted
You just let go
You just let go

Everything you need
You just let go
An unfinished dream
Everything you need
It's not what it seems
You just let go

And everything you wanted
And everything you know
And everything you wanted
You just let go
You just let go

An unfinished dream




Everything you need
It's not what it seems

Overall Meaning

The song "Let's Go" by Ben James opens up with a cautionary note, reminding us that time is fleeting and the best things in life don't last forever. The lyrics implore us to spend our time wisely, to figure out what truly matters, to see what's truly wrong and right in the world, and to find the deeper meaning behind our existence. The singer encourages listeners to make the most of their time because it could be their last opportunity to do so. The chorus then repeats the words "This world isn't good enough for me" as if to suggest that there's more to life than what conventional wisdom might dictate. It suggests that we should follow our own path, not just what society tells us is right or expected.


The second verse opens up with the warning bell that "time is up." It reminds us that eventually, we will lose what we hold dear, and it's time to think about the way we're living our lives. The line "life isn't something free" suggests that we need to work hard to achieve what we want in life, but we also need to be mindful of what we're striving for. The line "you made your bed, you better lie in it" serves as a warning that our actions have consequences, and we need to be prepared to deal with them.


The final verse is a repetition of the chorus with a slight variation, emphasizing that everything we wanted, everything we know, and everything we need are sometimes things we have to let go. The line "it's not what it seems" suggests that sometimes, our perceptions of what we want or need might not be entirely accurate.


Overall, the song encourages listeners to take control of their lives and to pursue their dreams, even if it means going against the grain of societal norms. It's a reminder that time is precious and that we need to make the most of it before it's too late.

From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don't belong
There's no force on earth
Could make me feel right, no
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
Think now is the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
👍👍
Love it❤️

From walking home and talking loads
Seeing shirts in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?

When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
