Let Me Go
Kelsey Wild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the edge
Of my glass
Looking down down
And I can't
Fight the past
Its so easy
Bottoms up
What's one more?
Now when I look down
I can see the floor
Through my glass
No one asks
They all know that
I've been down
Yes, everything's fine and thanks for asking
I'll make it home alright you know you're testing
The little patience that I've fabricated
You know you wanna give in
You think I've seen the light
And if that's what you believe
Then baby its alright
Just let me go
Just let me go
I'm a pro
In self doubt
I'll just take this with me
On the way out
Find myself
On the floor
Is this all there really is?
Just this once
I'll take help
Keep it on the low
Down
Don't say
One more word
The air's heavy
And I can't
Yes, everything's fine and thanks for asking
I'll make it home alright you know you're testing
The little patience that I've fabricated
You know you wanna give in
You think I've seen the light
And if that's what you believe
Then baby its alright
Just let me go
Just let me go
I am going through the motions
Its what everyone wants to see
I am looking for emotions
Or the lack of inside of me
And even though it's hard to shake this thing when its on your back
When you're next to me
You make me feel like I could do that
Yes, everything's fine and thanks for asking
I'll make it home alright you know you're testing
The little patience that I've fabricated
You know you wanna give in
You think I've seen the light
And if that's what you believe
Then baby its alright
Just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
"Let Me Go" by Kelsey Wild is a song about being stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and unhealthy habits, and the desire to break free from it all. The opening verses describe the singer at a low point, feeling trapped by their past and seeking solace in alcohol. The chorus then speaks to a sense of resignation, almost a numbness to their situation, as they ask to be released from their struggles. The song reveals a desire for authenticity and emotional honesty, as the singer admits to feeling hollow inside and searching for something deeper.
The lyrics also touch on themes of social pressure and the need to conform to societal expectations. The lines "I am going through the motions / Its what everyone wants to see" highlight the pressure to portray a certain image to others, even if it isn't reflective of one's true feelings. The chorus, with its repeated plea to be let go, can also be seen as a rejection of these societal norms, as the singer seeks to break out of the constraints placed upon them.
Overall, "Let Me Go" is a powerful song about the struggle to break free from one's demons and find a sense of peace and authenticity. Its haunting melody and poignant lyrics speak to anyone who has ever felt trapped in their own self-doubt.

Here I am
I'm in this moment
On the edge
I'm struggling and feeling unstable
Of my glass
holding onto my drink
Looking down down
feeling low and hopeless
And I can't
I'm powerless
Fight the past
I can't change what's already happened
Its so easy
to give up
Bottoms up
Drinking more
What's one more?
One more drink won't hurt
Now when I look down
I'm too drunk to stand
I can see the floor
I'm so low I can't even stand on my own feet
Through my glass
seeing the world through my drunk eyes
No one asks
no one questions me
They all know that
they know something's not right
I've been down
I've been struggling for a while now
Yes, everything's fine and thanks for asking
I'm lying when I say I'm okay
I'll make it home alright you know you're testing
I'm reassuring someone that I won't mess up
The little patience that I've fabricated
I'm pretending to be patient when really I'm ready to break
You know you wanna give in
you are close to giving up on me
You think I've seen the light
you think I'm getting better, but I'm not
And if that's what you believe
if that's what you want to believe about me
Then baby its alright
then just believe it, even if it's not true
Just let me go
I'm asking to be left alone
I'm a pro
I'm experienced in feeling insecure
In self doubt
I don't trust myself
I'll just take this with me
I'm carrying this feeling with me
On the way out
as I leave
Find myself
I feel lost
On the floor
I've hit rock bottom
Is this all there really is?
is this my life now?
Just this once
I'm admitting I need help
I'll take help
I'm finally accepting help
Keep it on the low
I don't want anyone to know
Down
I'm still feeling low
Don't say
I don't want to hear it
One more word
I can't take it anymore
The air's heavy
there's a tense atmosphere
And I can't
I'm overwhelmed and can't handle it
I am going through the motions
I'm just pretending to be okay
Its what everyone wants to see
people don't want to see me struggle
I am looking for emotions
I'm trying to feel something
Or the lack of inside of me
or maybe, I don't even know what I want
And even though it's hard to shake this thing when its on your back
even though it's tough to deal with your problems
When you're next to me
when I'm with you
You make me feel like I could do that
you give me strength to keep going
Just let me go
I need to figure things out on my own
Just let me go
I need space to find myself
Just let me go
I'm asking you to let me be
Just let me go
I need to start over and find my way

I got to see Kelsey back around 2007/08 at the ELB in Rockford. She was doing a lot of county Fair shows and small coffee shop sets for a long time. Unfortunately kinda disappeared from the area scene. I fell in love with her voice and playing in a church basement at age 16. 14 years later I still check around to see if she's performing

I love Kelsey. Amazing and beautiful inside and out, glad I got to meet her at an IMEA school function back in high school. It was literally like meeting a celebrity.
