Let's Go
Bela Fleck The Marcus Roberts Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin' through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I know
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And you me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know me
The lyrics to "Let's Go" by Béla Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio explore the complexities of a romantic relationship that is torn between reality and fantasy. The singer of the song is struggling with the fact that they are not seen for who they truly are, and is contemplating whether to leave the relationship altogether.
The first verse acknowledges the duality of the situation - one more kiss could be the best thing, but one more lie could be the worst. The singer's thoughts are constantly in flux, and they do not feel deserving of the love they are receiving. The chorus expresses the overwhelming feeling of being consumed by the other person - in the singer's head, there is only the love interest, and the rest of the world falls away. However, there is an acknowledgement that the relationship may not be entirely founded in reality.
The second verse contemplates the singer's hopes for the future, juxtaposed with distancing themselves from the current relationship. They question whether their love is truly a good thing, and express their confusion at their own emotions. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the feeling of being torn apart by conflicting desires. The bridge introduces a new level of vulnerability - though the singer tries to keep their struggles internalized, they know that the love interest is the only one who truly knows how they feel.
Overall, the lyrics to "Let's Go" are a poignant exploration of the complexity of love and relationships. The song acknowledges that there are times when we may feel lost or unsure, even in the midst of a romantic connection. It's a reminder that it's okay to ask for space, and to prioritize our own needs.

One more kiss could be the best thing
More affection could be beneficial
But one more lie could be the worst
Additional deceit could be damaging
And all these thoughts are never resting
My thoughts are constantly active
And you're not something I deserve
You don't owe me anything
In my head there's only you now
My mind is consumed by thoughts of you
This world falls on me
I feel burdened by reality
In this world there's real and make believe
There's truth and fiction in the world
And this seems real to me
My feelings for you seem genuine
You love me but you don't know who I am
You have feelings for me, but don't really know me
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
I'm conflicted about my current situation
So let me go
I want to be released from this
I dream ahead to what I hope for
I focus on the future I desire
And I turn my back on loving you
I try to distance myself from my affection for you
How can this love be a good thing
I question whether my love for you is beneficial
When I know what I'm going' through
I'm aware of the struggle I'm facing
And no matter how hard I try
I can't overcome these inner conflicts
I can't escape these things inside I know
I'm unable to ignore my emotions
When all the pieces fall apart
In times of chaos
You will be the only one who knows
You'll be the only one who understands my situation
And you me but you don't
You have mixed feelings for me
You love me but you don't
You have feelings for me, but are unsure
You love me but you don't know who I am
You don't truly know me
And you love me but you don't
Even though you have feelings for me
You love me but you don't
You have some doubts
You love me but you don't know me
You're unfamiliar with my true self
