Let me go
Erik Truffaz Quartet feat. Sophie Hunger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my freedom,
This is my voice,
My piece of venom,
My blind eyed choice.

These are my movements,
These are my arms,
This is my trumpet,
These are my drums, drums, drums

Let me go, Let me go,
Let me go, let me go.

This is my moment,
Again and again,
I'm not in existence,
I have never been.

I am my future,
I'm on my way,
For ever, for ever,
Lets play, lets play, play, play.





Let me go, let me go,
Let me go, let me go.
