Cut The Cord
Felix Jaehn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watched you go, one foot out the door
But looking over your shoulder, shoulder
I lost control
of everything I've known, but
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya
'Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake
I've just gotta do it
I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of one, two, three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord
Maybe in the ruins
I'll finally see the reason
On the count of one, two, three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord (I'm letting go oh oh oh oh)
Don't even bother
there's no in-between so
Please don't make it harder, harder
Can't change it, can't make this nightmare go away
'Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake
I've just gotta do it
I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of one, two, three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord
Maybe in the ruins
I'll finally see the reason
So On the count of one, two, three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
Even in this haze
When I see your face
It's getting clearer now
It's getting clearer now
I've just gotta do it
Shouldn't overthink it
On the count of one, two, three
on the count of one, two, three
Maybe in the ruins
I'll finally see the reason
on the count of one, two, three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh-oh
In "Cut The Cord," Felix Jaehn sings about letting go of someone he loves. The song is about the difficulty of holding on to a relationship that is already ending. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm letting go," which conveys the idea of finally giving up and cutting ties. The verses show the singer trying to make sense of the situation, but ultimately realizing that there is nothing left to salvage. The line "Maybe in the ruins, I'll finally see the reason" shows that the singer is aware that the breakup will hurt, but also that he hopes to gain insight from the experience.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been struggling to move on from the relationship. He says "I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake," which indicates that he is tormented by the situation. However, in the end, he decides to "cut the cord" and move on, even though it may be painful.
Overall, "Cut The Cord" is a song about endings and beginnings. It shows the difficulty of letting go of someone you love but also the potential for growth and new opportunities that can come from embracing change.
Line by Line Meaning
I watched you go, one foot out the door
I witnessed you leaving, with one foot already outside the door
But looking over your shoulder, shoulder
You were looking back at me over your shoulder
I lost control
I couldn't control the situation
of everything I've known, but
I lost control of everything I was familiar with
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya
I just want to embrace you tightly
Can't change it, can't make this nightmare go away
I can't alter the situation, nor can I get it to disappear, it feels like a nightmare
'Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake
I'm not even sleeping, I'm very alert
I've just gotta do it
I simply have to go through with it
I shouldn't overthink it
I should not dwell on it excessively
On the count of one, two, three
When I count to three
I'll go ahead and cut the cord
I will finish the relationship completely
Maybe in the ruins
When everything is already destroyed
I'll finally see the reason
I might finally comprehend the true explanation
Don't even bother
Do not even try
there's no in-between so
There is no middle ground
Please don't make it harder, harder
Please do not make this more complicated
Even in this haze
Even though things are unclear
When I see your face
Whenever I look at your face
It's getting clearer now
Things are becoming more apparent now
I'm letting go oh oh oh oh
I'm releasing everything, oh oh oh oh
