After releasing two albums with this line-up, Sal left due to musical differences, and recruited a drummer for the recording/touring of 'Soul Searching Sun.' Caputo felt that the band's original spirit had left the band, and decided to quit in 1997. After a tour with replacement vocalist Whitfield Crane, the singer from Ugly Kid Joe, the band officially disbanded in 1999.
In 2003, the band reunited with their original line-up and played two sold-out shows before their home-town crowd, receiving great reception. This eventually led to a new studio album in 2005, namely 'Broken Valley'. Caputo came out as transgender in 2011. The band broke up again in 2012.
In 2014 the original 'River Runs Red' line-up returned to stage for several gigs. Their latest album A Place Where There's No More Pain was released in 2017. An upcoming album 'The Sound of Scars' is set to be released in 2019.
Love The Let You Down
Life of Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Willin' to give another try
Willin' to pretend
But still so dead
Willin' to comprehend
Willin' to give up on my pride
Willin' to forgive
And its starting to take its toll
And its starting to unwind
But the quicker that things unfold
The quicker that they subside
And the writing's on the wall
But the walls have all come down
If you can't see past the truth
I love to let you... down
Willin' to walk again
Willin' to step back in the light
Willin' to forget
But still so dead
Willin' to turn my head
Willin' to let my feelings slide
Willin' to befriend
But still so dead
And its starting to take its toll
And its starting to unwind
But the quicker that things unfold
The quicker that they subside
And the writing's on the wall
But the walls have all come down
If you can't see past the truth
I love to let you
And its complicated
And its complicated
Everything that i know
(What was up was now down)
And its overrated
And its overrated
Everything that I, know
And I love to let you
And I love to let you
And its starting to take its toll
And its starting to unwind
But the quicker that things unfold
The quicker that they subside
And the writing's on the wall
But the walls have all come down
And you can't see past the truth
I love to let you
And I'm willing to start again
To give it another try
I'm willin' to start over...again
The lyrics to Life of Agony's song Love The Let You Down showcase a complicated emotional state of both willingness and reluctance to reconcile with someone. The first verse describes a person who is willing to start over and give another try, but despite attempts to pretend and understand, they still feel emotionally dead inside. The second verse continues this theme of willingness, expressing that the person is willing to walk again, to forget, to befriend, but still feels emotionally dead. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the person loves to let the other person down, ultimately feeling comfortable with a lack of resolution.
The bridge of the song features repetition of the word "complicated," suggesting that the relationship between the two people is complex and requires more than a simple resolution. The phrase "what was up was now down" implies that the dynamic between the two has shifted dramatically, adding to the complexity of the situation. The bridge ends with the declaration of the person's continued love for letting the other person down.

AMAZING SONG AND LYRICS
Willing to start again, willing to give another try
Willing to pretend but still so dead
Willing to comprehend, willing to give up all my pride
Willing to forget but still so dead
And it's starting to take its toll, it's starting to unwind
But the quicker that things unfold, the quicker that they subside
And writings on the wall but the walls have all come down
If you can't see past the truth, I love to let you down
Willing to walk again, willing to step back in the light
Willing to forget but still so dead
Willing to turn my head, willing to let my feelings slide
Willing to befriend but still so dead
And it's starting to take its toll, it's starting to unwind

And writings on the wall but the walls have all come down
If you can't see past the truth, I love to let you down
And it's complicated, it's complicated
Everything that I've known what was up is now down
And it's overrated, it's overrated
Everything that I know, I love, I love to let you down

One of their best songs IMO. The Broken Valley album is underrated and has some great tunes.
HORSE SIX ZERO
My band Cadillac Rock Box still covers this song with permission from Life of Agony. Fan's dream come true, see them while in the Army, after you get out, and you've lost count of the shows, are there for the reunion shows, and then your band opens not just once, but twice for Life of Agony and then Joey Z becomes your producer for your records. Just contacted him to do our 3rd Album.
We set up our recording schedule this upcoming Tuesday. Stoked is an understatement.
Signed, a Life of Agony fan
