Let It Be
Kane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well the answer is always the same,
Won't you please just let it be.
'Cause I've been there and all I can say,
Is that it slips away from me.
With the memory of yesterday's grace,
She spins away from me,
So I can go on.
As cold as the void of the night,
The dark's surrounding me.
She leaves me there every time,
As alone as I can be.
And I drift with the thought of her eyes.
She's all that I can see,
But I will go on.

Every long night,
Every whisper,
Every song that never saw it coming,
And she says it's oh so right.

Every cold night,
Every shiver,
Every time I didn't feel it coming.
She says it's oh so right.

As heartless and cruel as can be,
She moves away from me.
Still I need to be hers every time,
With all that I can be.
As she calls in the deep of the night,
She takes all I've got from me,
So I can go on.

Every long night,
Every whisper,
Every song that never saw it coming,
Baby don't you know that it's not alright,
It's not alright, no, no, no.

Every cold night,
Every shiver,
Every silent scream,
And she never listens.
Well it's not alright, not alright.

She rides with the gods of the night,
She rules the tides in me.
She crushes the waves with her sigh,
And she, oh lord, becomes a part of me,
But her care is as sharp as a knife.
I'll say, for how can she step away from me,
How can you just walk away from me?

Every cold night,
Every whisper,
Every silent scream,
And you never listen.
And you say what? It's alright,
Well it's not alright, no, no.

Every last time,
Every shiver,
Every dirty game.
Well it just isn't right,
It just isn't right.

She wakes at the dawn of the day,
And takes my heart from me.
Leaves me with nothing to say,
Nothing left for me,
But the fever of final goodbyes,
She spins away from me,
So I can go on





I can go on.

Overall Meaning

In Kane's song "Let It Be," the lyrics seem to be about a relationship that is not working out. The singer is pleading with the other person to let it be and move on because he has been in this situation before, and it always slips away from him. The opening line, "Well, the answer is always the same," implies that the singer has been in similar situations before where the person he's with will not let go. He asks her to let it be because the memories of yesterday's grace have spun away from him, and he needs to go on.


The singer acknowledges that the other person is heartless and cruel but still needs her every time he's with her. She takes all he's got from him, and he's left alone in the dark, surrounded by emptiness. He thinks about her constantly, and she becomes a part of him. Still, he realizes that her care is as sharp as a knife, and she can walk away from him with ease.


The chorus repeats that the situation is not alright, and the singer is left with nothing to say. The relationship seems to be a dirty game, and every time the singer pleads for the other person to let it be, she takes his heart from him and spins away. The final line, "So I can go on," suggests that the singer wants to move on from this relationship despite his feelings for the other person.
