Let You Go
Illenium (ft. Ember Island) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the road through the dark night
You're on your own with no one to hear you
Going fast, but it's alright
You're on your own with nothing to hold you back
And now you've driven past the red lights
Behind your shades, all the colors seem faded
And now you're moving at the speed of light
I'll lead you home tonight

When you're tired of the dark nights
And need someone to hold
I'll be your fire in the cold rain

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go

When you're tired of the dark nights
And need someone to hold
I'll be your fire in the cold rain

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go

When you're tired of the dark nights
And need someone to hold
I'll be your fire in the cold rain

I'm never gonna let you go




(I'm never gonna let you go)
(I'm never gonna let you go)

Line by Line Meaning

On the road through the dark night
While traveling through the uncertain and difficult times in life


You're on your own with no one to hear you
Feeling isolated and unheard by others


Going fast, but it's alright
Moving forward swiftly, despite the challenges


You're on your own with nothing to hold you back
Being independent and free from any restraints


And now you've driven past the red lights
Taking risks and disregarding cautionary signs


Behind your shades, all the colors seem faded
Perceiving life as dull and lacking vibrancy


And now you're moving at the speed of light
Progressing rapidly with great momentum


I'll lead you home tonight
I will guide you to a place of comfort and stability


When you're tired of the dark nights
When you're weary of the challenging and lonely periods


And need someone to hold
And require someone's support and presence


I'll be your fire in the cold rain
I will be your source of warmth and comfort during difficult times


I'm never gonna let you go
I will never abandon or forsake you


(I'm never gonna let you go)
(I will always be there for you)

Lyrics: Illenium - Let You Go (Ft. Ember Island)

On the road through the dark night
You're on your own with no one to hear you
Going fast but it's alright
You’re on your own with nothing to hold you back

And now you’ve driven past the red lights
Behind your shades all the colors seems faded
And now you're moving at the speed of light
I’ll lead you home tonight

When you're tired of the dark nights
And need someone to hold
I’ll be your fire in the cold rain
I’m never gonna let you go (let you go)
I’m never gonna let you go (let you go)

When you're tired of the dark nights
And need someone to hold
I’ll be your fire in the cold rain
I’m never gonna let you go (let you go)
I’m never gonna let you go (let you go)
I’m never gonna let you go (let you go)

Текст песни
Перевод песни
[Verse] [Припев]
On the road through the dark night На дороге сквозь темную ночь
You're on your own with no one to hear you Ты сам по себе и никто тебя не слышит
Going fast but it's alright Движешься быстро, но всё в порядке
You're on your own with nothing to hold you back Ты сам по себе и ничто тебя не держит
And now you've driven past the red lights И сейчас ты проехал мимо красных огней
Behind your shades, all the colors seem faded За твоей тенью, все цветы выглядят тусклыми
And now you're moving at the speed of light И сейчас ты движешься со скоростью света
I'll lead you home tonight Я проведу тебя домой сегодня ночью


[Chorus] [Хор]
When you're tired of the dark nights Когда ты устанешь от темных ночей
And need someone to hold И захочешь чьей-то поддержки
I'll be your fire in the cold rain Я буду огнем среди твоего холодного дождя
[Post-Chorus] [Пост-хор]
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
[Chorus] [Хор]
When you're tired of the dark nights Когда ты устанешь от темных ночей
And need someone to hold И захочешь чьей-то поддержки
I'll be your fire in the cold rain Я буду огнем среди твоего холодного дождя
[Post-Chorus] [Пост-хор]
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
[Chorus] [Хор]
When you're tired of the dark nights Когда ты устанешь от темных ночей
And need someone to hold И захочешь чьей-то поддержки
I'll be your fire in the cold rain Я буду огнем среди твоего холодного дождя
[Post-Chorus] [Пост-хор]
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
I'm never gonna let you go Я никогда тебя не отпущу
