Letting Go
BCee & Lomax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost afraid to grow
Without you there
Whisper words that make you see
What you've come to mean to me
A voice that rises from the heart
The hunger seizes me
And tears my soul apart
How i came to feel for you
Through your love i'd see forever
We became as one
I never saw you turn away
My love was blind
You call me when your storm is over
Crying over love that i can give you
When the night is colder
Holding on to me
'Cause it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
With your face that lies
You memorize the reason why
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go
Foolish that i still believe
That love should never die
It makes me cry to witness where the story ends
All the lovers in the world
Will echo all the words
That i will leave you
When the night is lonely
Only goes to show
That it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
And i kneel and pray for yesterday
When you were mine
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go.
The lyrics of BCee & Lomax's song "Letting Go" seem to be expressing the emotions of a person who is struggling to come to terms with losing their loved one. The opening lines "A child that hides behind a chair, almost afraid to grow, without you there" perhaps suggest the persona's reluctance to let go of their partner, which could have been holding them back from moving on and experiencing personal growth. The next lines "Whisper words that make you see, what you've come to mean to me" can be interpreted as the persona's last effort to get their partner to understand how much they mean to them and why they should stay.
The lines "And serving only to renew, how I came to feel for you, through your love I'd see forever, we became as one, I never saw you turn away" depict the depth of love the persona had for their partner, the intimacy they shared, and the impossibility of the persona ever reciprocating their feelings. The persona feels helpless and heartbroken when they say, "My love was blind, you call me when your storm is over, crying over love that I can give you when the night is colder, holding on to me, 'cause it's so hard letting go."
The lyrics convey the raw emotions that come with heartbreak, the struggle of holding onto a fading love, and the difficulty of coming to terms with letting go. It portrays the aftermath of essentially losing someone and dealing with the consequences of that.
