Letting Go
Digital Ruin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worlds collide, no answers to be found
But don't get me wrong, it's not you I blame
I just never learned to live without the pain
[Bridge]
Somehow I've lasted until the end
Without the thought I never could survive alone
But I don't feel the same no more
[Chorus]
I'm letting go that feeling you once cared
I'm letting go that feeling we once shared
Everyday there's something new to dream about
Passing lives, universal doubt
Don't get me wrong, it's not you I blame
But I won't forget the person you became
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
It fell apart in the end, but you know the reason why
You went looking on that other side
I keep searching or that man I left behind
But I fear he's lost in another time
I'll find a way through this water before I drown
And I'll be back to show you all
You can't keep me down
[Chorus]
The song Letting Go by Digital Ruin expresses the feeling of being constantly weighed down by the challenges of life. The opening lines speak of how every day presents new problems that bring the singer down, and how there seem to be no answers to be found. The singer makes it clear that they don't blame anyone for their troubles - not even the person they once shared a special feeling with. They acknowledge that they never learned how to live without pain, implying that they've always struggled in life.
Through the bridge, the singer reflects on how they've managed to make it this far, despite feeling like they couldn't survive alone. But they admit that things have changed, and they no longer feel the same way they used to. They're letting go of the feeling they once shared with someone else and moving forward, despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
The chorus emphasizes this idea of letting go - the feeling the singer once cared about and the one they shared with someone else. They're embracing the changes in their life, moving forward, and actively working to leave their pain and troubles behind. The final lines speak of the struggle to find oneself amidst the chaos of life, to avoid being swept away by the current, and to come out stronger on the other side.
Overall, the song is an honest reflection of the challenges of life, the struggle to move forward, and the power of letting go of the past to create a better future.
