Let Me Go
Faderhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little shadows moving
On the bedroom wall
Staring at me while you sleep
Can't you see them at all?

Little voices whisper
When the curtains fall
Always talking when you sleep
Can't you hear them at all?

If I said I was healed, would you let me go?
If I said I was safe, would you let me?
If I said I was healed, would you let me go?
Would you let me?

Always one too many
They say that three's a crowd
What to do when no one's home
And the lights are fading out

Always someone better
To be found in town




What to tell an empty heart?
When the lights are fading out...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Faderhead's song Let Me Go paint a haunting picture of the little shadows and voices that seem to surround us in life. These shadows and voices can be seen and heard even as we try to sleep, and they serve as a constant reminder of the emotions and traumas that we carry with us in life. The song is an exploration of the desire to be healed, to be safe, and to be free from the chains that keep us from being who we truly are.


The opening verses of the song describe the little shadows and voices that exist in the night. They represent the fears and anxieties that we all feel at one point or another in life. The shadows move on the bedroom wall, while the voices whisper when the curtains fall. They are always there, always talking, always reminding us of the things that we would rather forget. The chorus asks the question that many of us have probably wondered at some point - if we were healed, if we were safe, would we be able to let go of the past? Would we finally be free from the constant reminders that surround us?


In the second verse, the song shifts to a more introspective tone. The lyrics talk about being one too many, about feeling like a third wheel in a world that is constantly on the move. There is always someone better out there, always someone who seems to have it together, while we are left to face an empty heart and the fading lights of our dreams. The verse serves as a reminder that healing is not just about physical wounds, but also about the emotional wounds that we carry with us in life.


Overall, Faderhead's Let Me Go is a powerful exploration of the desire to be free from the chains that keep us from being who we truly are. It is a reminder that we all carry little shadows and voices with us, but that we have the power to heal, to be safe, and to let go.

Just remember, when times are getting tough, the spirit that empowers your body is always strong. Which means that you physically have the embodiment to take on down-slides that snag in the corners of the brain. Hang in there, smiles are powerful.
