Go
D.Mave Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it wasn't so long ago
When things weren't as we know
Back when I was younger and had a hunger
For all the things I didn't know

And I remember the day when
I went out to play
And I bird flew down to my hand

Didn't want to leave and
When I asked to keep
I remember my dad said

Yeah son let it go away
Hope that it comes back
Here to you some day
Just let it go away
And if it comes back
you know it's here to stay

Since then I've gone through changes
Since then I've gone through life
Since then I found me a beautiful woman
I thought could be my wife
She said she really loves me
But she said she couldn't stay
She said I've got to go my love
To find things my own way

So I let her go away
Hope that she comes back
Here to me some day
I let her go away
And if she comes back
I know she's here to stay

There's not always reasons for the things in life
But it's comforting to know within your mind
If you love something enough
And you've done all that you can
If there's one thing I have known and learned first hand
Sometimes you have to just let it go away

Hope that it comes back
Here to you some day
Just let it go away
And if it comes back
You know it's here to stay

Let it go away
And if it comes back

You know it's here to stay
Let it go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D.Mave’s song Go are reflective and introspective in nature, dealing with the theme of letting go of things that are important to us. The opening lines of the song suggest that the songwriter is recalling a time when he was younger and more carefree, and his life was different. The reference to hunger could be interpreted as a desire for knowledge and new experiences, which was insatiable in his youth. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the hunger he once felt has since faded away, and he has had to learn to let go of things that are important to him.

The song speaks to the theme of loss and accepting change. The songwriter reflects on two significant losses - a bird which he found and wanted to keep but his father advised him to let it go, and a woman he loved who chose to move on. These experiences have taught him that sometimes, we must let go of things we love and hope that they come back to us one day. The lyrics suggest that this is not always easy, but it is an important lesson to learn, in order to move forward in life. The lyrics promote the idea of acceptance and resilience, and the belief that even though we may have to let go of things we love, they may come back to us in the future.

Line by Line Meaning

You know it wasn't so long ago
Reflecting on a past time that feels relatively recent

When things weren't as we know
A time before they gained experience and knowledge

Back when I was younger and had a hunger
Years when they craved knowledge and exploration

For all the things I didn't know
Curiosity and a yearning to learn

And I remember the day when
A distinct and memorable moment in their past

I went out to play
A time spent enjoying life and being carefree

And I bird flew down to my hand
An unexpected encounter with nature

Didn't want to leave and
The bird lingered and was content

When I asked to keep
A desire to possess something special

I remember my dad said
Words from a parent that have stuck with them

Yeah son let it go away
Advice to free oneself from attachment

Hope that it comes back
Not giving up on the possibility of it returning

Here to you some day
The possibility of regaining what was lost

Just let it go away
Allowing things to happen and unfold naturally

And if it comes back
Only when it returns

you know it's here to stay
Knowing it's permanent and reliable

Since then I've gone through changes
Growth and transformation over time

Since then I've gone through life
A journey through existence, ups and downs

Since then I found me a beautiful woman
Discovering and falling in love with someone special

I thought could be my wife
Viewing someone as a potential partner for life

She said she really loves me
Hearing words of affection from their partner

But she said she couldn't stay
Being faced with the reality of impermanence

She said I've got to go my love
Leaving to pursue their own path in life

To find things my own way
Seeking independence and following their own journey

So I let her go away
Releasing their partner

Hope that she comes back
Holding onto the possibility of reunion

Here to me some day
The hope of being together again

And if she comes back
Only when she returns

I know she's here to stay
Confidence in having a lasting future together

There's not always reasons for the things in life
Accepting that some things are unexplainable

But it's comforting to know within your mind
Finding peace in one's own thoughts

If you love something enough
Utmost care for something special

And you've done all that you can
Having made their best efforts

If there's one thing I have known and learned first hand
Personal experience leading to knowledge

Sometimes you have to just let it go away
Acknowledging that detachment is necessary at times

Let it go away
Allow it to leave

And if it comes back
Only when it returns

You know it's here to stay
Knowing it's permanent and reliable
