Let the Bass Go
Colombo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
The lyrics are taken from Colombo's song "Let the Bass Go" and features samples from the jazz standard "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart" by Duke Ellington. The first line of the song talks about letting a song go out of his heart, which he describes as the sweetest melody. He then suggests that by losing this song, he lost heaven, because the song was associated with a person he loved. The next line talks about how life doesn't mean anything to him anymore since he and this person have drifted apart. He begs for the sweet music to return and acknowledges that he was wrong in letting it go. The singer wonders if it's too late to make amends with the person he lost the sweet music to, as he believes that they were meant to be more than just friends. The song ends with the same line repeated as a hopeful message for the future.
Line by Line Meaning
I let a song go out of my heart
I allowed my feelings for you to fade away
It was the sweetest melody
Being with you gave me the greatest joy and happiness
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
My world fell apart without you, I lost the best thing I ever had
Since you and I have drifted apart
Our separation has made my life empty and meaningless
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Nothing else in my life matters as much as you do
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
I apologize for any mistakes I made, and I beg for your forgiveness so that we can be together again
Am I too late to make amends?
I fear that my mistakes have cost me the chance to ask for forgiveness and make things right
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
Our connection was undeniable, and I know it was something more than just friendship
Believe me, darlin', when I say
Trust me when I tell you that my feelings are sincere
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
My life will remain incomplete until you come back to me
