Don't Let Go
Giorgio Moroder feat. Mikky Ekko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a fire and I'm wild
And it yearns and it rolls like a tide
Sweet undertow
And we burn, and we burn
And we burn to the ground
Every bridge, every road, that we've found
We've no way home
I feel the pressure coming down on me
The only question,
Can there be harmony without a lesson?
Without losing control?
Don't let go, it's time for us to finally see
We can't stop until our minds are free
There, we're hanging by a thread of hope
Don't let go, my sisters and my brothers weep
Don't have to read the signs to see
That the blood on the leaves you sat on
Don't let go
There's a cage, there's a cage
There's a cage with no key
Like a stranger who's locked in a dream
With no way out
So we wait, and we wait
And we wait for so long
We forget that we severed a song
We used to sing
I feel the pressure coming down on me
The only question
Can there be harmony without a lesson?
Without losing control?
Don't let go, it's time for us to finally see
We can't stop until our minds are free
There, we're hanging by a thread of hope
Don't let go, my sisters and my brothers weep
Don't have to read the signs to see
That the blood on the leaves you sat on
Don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go, it's time for us to finally see
We can't stop until our minds are free
There, we're hanging by a thread of hope
Don't let go, my sisters and my brothers weep
Don't have to read the signs to see
That the blood on the leaves you sat on
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
The lyrics to "Don't let go" by Giorgio Moroder feat. Mikky Ekko paint a picture of someone who is trapped in a difficult situation, feeling the pressure closing in on them. The fire and wildness inside yearn and roll like a tide, yet they are burning to the ground with no way home, every bridge and road found being severed. The person feels like they are in a cage with no key with no way out, waiting for so long that they forget about the song they used to sing.
The person questions if harmony can exist without a lesson or without losing control, but despite the pressure, they urge their sisters and brothers not to let go. They believe that it's time to see and realize that they can't stop until their minds are free. They are hanging by a thread of hope and the blood on the leaves they sat on reminds them not to let go.
The lyrics seem to convey a message that despite the difficulties, one needs to hold on to hope, to fight for freedom and not let go no matter how hard it gets. It is a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a fire running wild
And it yearns and it rolls like a tide, sweet undertow
And we burn, and we burn, and we burn to the ground
Every bridge, every road, that we've found
We've no way home
[Pre-Chorus: Mikky Ekko]
I feel the pressure coming down on me
The only question, "can there be harmony without a lesson?"
Without losing control?
[Chorus: Mikky Ekko]
Don't let go, it's time for us to finally see
We can't stop until our minds are free
Yeah, we're hanging by a thread of hope
Don't let go, my sisters and my brothers, we
Don't have to read the signs to see
That the blood on the leaves is our own
Don't let go
[Verse 2: Mikky Ekko]
There's a cage, there's a cage, there's a cage with no key
Like a stranger who's locked in a dream, with no way out
So we wait, and we wait, and we wait for so long
We forget it was ever a song
We used to sing
