Let Go for Tonight
Foxes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fell from the sky
We fell from the sky and started walking
Leavin' our footprints on the ground

It might be a prayer
Or maybe a piece of conversation
Wherever we go we make a sound
So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know is we're here tonight
Turn off the lights

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

I wanna drive
I wanna drive into the open
Lookin' for reasons I can't find

So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know is we're here tonight
Turn off the lights

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go
I need to let go, let go
Before we're gone, gone, gone

So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

Let go, let go
Let go, let go
I need to let go, let go
(Before we go, go, go)

Fell from the sky




We fell from the sky and started walking
Leavin' our footprints on the ground

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Foxes's song 'Let Go for Tonight' talk about letting go of your worries and stresses and just living in the moment. The opening line, "Fell from the sky, we fell from the sky and started walking, leaving our footprints on the ground," suggests that the singer is feeling weightless and uninhibited. The lyrics then use "I call your name, the only thing I know / Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?" to suggest that the singer wants someone to come along with her and share in the experience of living in the moment. This person is important to the singer and the uncertainly of their presence is what motivates the singer to seek out the present moment.


The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "let go for tonight" and let love into your life. The line "who needs sleep tonight?" suggests that the singer wants to live the night fully and experience everything that is happening. The line "I need to let it go, let it go" reinforces the idea of living in the moment and not worrying about the future. The use of the phrase "turn off the lights" adds to the sense of escapism and letting go of your concerns.


Overall, the song is about living in the moment, letting go of your worries and enjoying life. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a perfect party song or upbeat anthem for those times when you need to forget about your worries and just have fun.

this is one of those catchy songs you hear on radio and never know what it's called or who sings it

Jimmy Shimmy

I know the feeling, it took me ages to find this

Jacob Woods

+Mrs Phanzedrine It isn't. It's quite easy to identify the song name to most likely be 'Let Go for Tonight'. It's the first part of the chorus. The ones that are difficult to find are the ones with a less identifiable chorus.

Louis

lmao exactly , well said

Warren

exactly except I googled it! :)
