Letting Go
Gray Lines Of Perfection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weight of the world
On your shoulders
Let go for there is
So much more before us now
Because we live in a world of space and time
The idea of an infinite being is outside
When you accept the fact
That you can not and will not
Understand God in this life
You will understand the meaning of faith
And let go of this world.
It has come time for you
To forget everything you know
To rise up and out
Of what this world
Taught you to believe
To follow your own path
That path you dreamt up
All those years ago
And don't look back
Never turn around
Until you reach
The ends of this earth
The days are growing shorter
So take this advice forward
It will take you places
You've only dreamed you could go
Let go of everything you know
Break through the barricades
Run and don't look back
Run and never look back
Forget everything
you know
And let the winds of change
Take you where you need to go
In the song Letting Go by Gray Lines Of Perfection, the lyrics are about releasing one's attachment to the world and accepting a higher power beyond human comprehension. The opening lines convey the feeling of being burdened by the weight of the world and the call to let go and move forward towards a greater purpose. The song emphasizes faith in a force beyond human understanding, and the importance of following one's dreams and passions, free from the constraints imposed by society and cultural norms.
The lyrics are an encouragement to embrace change and venture into the unknown, letting go of the familiar and comfortable. The song suggests that only through such a process can one find their true path and make progress in life. Ultimately, the message of the song is partly counter-cultural, asserting that people should be prepared to question everything they know and disregard convention in their quest for fulfillment.

You say you feel
The weight of the world / On your shoulders
Let go for there is
So much more before us now
It has come time for you
To forget everything you know
To rise up and out
Of what this world / Taught you to believe
And don't look back
Never turn around
Until you reach
The ends of this earth
The days are growing shorter
So take this advice forward
Let go of everything you know
Break through the barricades
And don't let anyone
Hold you down
You say you're feeling lost
In an endless sea of confusion
But the shore is closer
Than you think
So let go of your fears
And swim towards the light
Life is short and unpredictable
So don't waste another day
Let go of the expectations
Of others and follow
The desires of your own heart
For that is where true happiness lies.
