Laat Het Los
Liesbeth List Lyrics

The lyrics of "Laat Het Los" by Liesbeth List can be interpreted as a call to let go of whatever is holding us back and embrace freedom. The repetition of the phrase "Laat het los, laat het gaan" (Let it go, let it be) throughout the song reinforces this message. The singer advises us to not dwell on the past ("blijf niet staan" - don't linger), but instead, look at it once more and then move on. Similarly, we should not obsess over the future ("loop je toekomst niet voorbij" - don't walk past your future), but instead approach it with a sense of ease ("adem uit" - breathe out) and allow ourselves to feel liberated.

The idea of letting go is further emphasized when the singer says "de boog zal zich ontspannen als je een doel verder mikt" (the bow will relax when you aim for a further goal). This can be interpreted as the idea that holding onto something too tightly can cause it to slip away, but if we release it and aim for something more substantial, the pressure will decrease and we will be more likely to succeed. The singer also advises against fighting time ("vecht niet tegen maar met de tijd" - don't fight against time, but work with it), which suggests a more relaxed approach to life.

In the latter part of the song, the singer encourages us not to be guided by loneliness and to open our hearts and doors to feel free. The line "de zin van heel je leven staat in geen enkel boek vermeld" (the meaning of your entire life is not written in any book) highlights the idea that we need to create our own meaning and purpose in life. Overall, the song encourages us to let go of the things that hold us back, be open to new possibilities, and find our own path to freedom and happiness.
