Sound Of Letting Go
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause this is where we crash and burn
And now every time i face this pain
I can hear it coming back again
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
It's the sound of letting go.
Breaking up and breaking down
This is what we've come to now
What's the use we can't deny
Can't you hear it?
It's the sound of letting go.
We could go around all day
Fine excuses we can say
In the silence i can hear
Can't you feel it?
It's the sound of letting go.
It's getting louder and louder
What we gonna do?
It's getting louder and louder
Fillin' up the room.
I can hear it hear it
Comin' over us.
I can hear it tellin' me that we had enough
It's getting louder and louder
What we gonna do?
It's getting louder and louder
Fillin' up the room.
I can hear it hear it
Comin' over us.
It's the sound of letting go.
I know you can hear it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I know we can't deceive it.
I know you can hear it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I know we can't deceive it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I can't let it break me down
This is what we've come to now.
What's the use we can't deny (can't you hear it?)
It's the sound of letting go.
Every time i face this pain
I hear it coming back again
And i've been calling out your name (can't you hear it?)
It's the sound of letting go.
I can hear it.
I can hear it.
I can hear it.
It's the sound of letting go.
I can hear it
I can hear it
It's the sound of letting go.
I can hear it
I can hear it
It's the sound of letting go.

This is the point of no return
We are at a critical juncture where we can't turn back
'Cause this is where we crash and burn
We have reached a situation where we will fail miserably
And now every time i face this pain
Whenever I encounter this distress
I can hear it coming back again
I am reminded of the same difficulty reoccurring
It's the sound of letting go.
It's an indication of relinquishing control or attachment
Breaking up and breaking down
We are in a state of collapse and disintegration
This is what we've come to now
This is where we have arrived at in the present moment
What's the use we can't deny
We cannot ignore or evade the truth
Can't you hear it?
Are you not listening?
We could go around all day
We could procrastinate endlessly
Fine excuses we can say
We can create convincing justifications
In the silence i can hear
In stillness, I can sense
Can't you feel it?
Are you not perceiving it?
It's getting louder and louder
It's becoming more and more apparent
What we gonna do?
What action will we take?
Fillin' up the room.
Becoming pervasive and overwhelming
I can hear it tellin' me that we had enough
I perceive it communicating that we have reached our limits
It's the sound of letting go.
It's a resonance of releasing attachment
I know you can hear it.
I am convinced that you sense it too
I know we can't deceive it.
We cannot trick or mislead it
I can't let it break me down
I cannot allow it to shatter my spirits
And i've been calling out your name
I have been hoping for your assistance
I can hear it.
I am hearing it loudly and clearly
It's the sound of letting go.
It's a reverberation of surrendering control
