Let Me Know
Gold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bitter taste from the place I was last night
Not sure if it was wrong or right
To leave you waiting up for
A boy who's throwing up at your front door
You wish I'd be a better man
But you're still caught up in taking hands
Of sorry drunken bastards
No sense of remorse after
His face
In our bed
The one your mom grew up with
Told me
A white lie
And so you wonder why I

I'd like to think that I've changed
And wish that you had stayed the same
We know we've both seen better days
Fake smiles to cover up the way
You said you'd never feel the same
(But the past is something you can't change)
As how you felt before that day

We both made our mistakes
Covered our tongues with a bitter taste
I'd like to think that I have changed

But we both know I'll stay the same
We know we've seen better days
We both made our mistakes
Covered our tongues with a bitter taste
Yeah no wonder why I

Passed out in another bed
Fell asleep with one of your friends
Told her to keep it low
But you'll be the first to know
Sick and tired of the same shit
Laying around in your old basement




No longer in control
It's time you let me go

The mention of his face in their bed, the one her mom grew up with, implies that the relationship had reached a significant level of familiarity, but it didn't survive. The second verse mentions how both the singer and his partner have changed and how they've tried to cover up their mistakes with fake smiles and a bitter taste. The singer reflects on how he has changed and yet how he will always remain the same. He talks about having slept with one of his partner's friends and how he told her to keep it low, but his partner would be the first one to know. The song ends with the singer expressing his loneliness and the need for his partner to let him go.

The amount of bullshit I had to skip through on Tidal before I found this song was amazing. I remained extremely perplexed and disappointed that I have to go out of my way to find music worth listening to. I have ZERO idea who this artist is, but she knocked it out of the park with this one.
