Just Let Go
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I know I can't control
And I could not have it any other way
Restless anxious is all I've known
Defenseless against this
This changes in my soul
What was once reluctance soon becomes the will to grow
And I would not have it any other way
So I let go, lose control
Let go to the unknown
Nothing changes in refusing to grow
Wisdom engages those who will grasp for something more
Take this leap of faith (take this leap of faith)
There's no time to waste
And I cannot have it any other way (any other way)
So I let go, lose control
Just let go, let go
Yeah
Just let go
See behind the hue
Reject what I once knew
I'll let go (I'll let go)
Surrender
Let go (let go)
Just let go (let go), surrender
The lyrics of "Just Let Go" by Killswitch Engage are about the struggles of holding onto things that we can't control, and how letting go of these things is essential for growth and wisdom. The first verse expresses the singer's frustration with being restless and anxious, unable to control the changes happening within their soul. They realize that their reluctance is hindering their progress, and they must embrace the will to grow regardless of the unknown.
The chorus advises the listener to let go and lose control, to embark on a journey of the unknown. The second verse highlights the importance of taking a leap of faith and not wasting any more time. Refusing to grow will only result in one being stuck in one place, without any evolution in their life. The bridge encourages the listener to reject their old beliefs and outdated ways of thinking, surrendering to the unknown for new experiences and growth.
Overall, the song's message is empowering and motivates the listener to let go of their fears and relinquish control, allowing themselves to embrace the unknown for personal growth.
