Let Go
Makari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'll stay awhile and count cracks in the tile
And won't it be fun to hide myself from anyone that tries to help me?
Do you think that's healthy? (No, no, no)
You'll go right and I'll go left, spend my whole night a nervous wreck
I hope you enjoy the show, I'll never know
You're damn right there's nothing left, spend my whole life retracing steps
And I'll have so much fun
Dissociate from everyone while they dance around me
What a lovely party
It's getting late, I should go home
But I'm afraid if I'm alone I'll just find you there
Stuck in place, or erased like you were never really there at all
You'll go right and I'll go left, spend my whole night a nervous wreck
I hope you enjoy the show, I'll never know
You're damn right there's nothing left, spend my whole life retracing steps
But I can't let go, just let me go
I'm dizzy now, my heartbeat's loud
But I'm still holding on, yeah, I'll keep holding on
For something new to make it through
But it can't be you, no, it can't be you
You'll go right and I'll go left, spend my whole night a nervous wreck
I hope you enjoy the show, I'll never know
You're damn right there's nothing left, spend my whole life retracing steps
But I can't let go, just let me go
The song Let Go by Makari portrays the feeling of being stuck and unable to move past a certain point in one's life. The opening lyrics "Far, so far away, I think I'll stay awhile and count cracks in the tile" suggest that the writer may be in a state of dissociation, withdrawing from the world around them and finding comfort in mundane activities. The line "And won't it be fun to hide myself from anyone that tries to help me? Do you think that's healthy?" conveys a sense of isolation and a desire to distance oneself from others, even when it may not be the best or healthiest choice.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "You'll go right and I'll go left, spend my whole night a nervous wreck, I hope you enjoy the show, I'll never know, you're damn right there's nothing left, spend my whole life retracing steps but I can't let go, just let me go." This repetition creates a sense of desperation and frustration at being unable to move forward in life, despite the repeated attempts to do so.
The final verse of the song reveals the writer's fear of being alone and unable to move on from a past relationship. The line "But I'm afraid if I'm alone I'll just find you there, stuck in place, or erased like you were never really there at all" suggests that the writer may be haunted by memories of a past love, and they are afraid that they will never be able to fully let go and move on.
Overall, Let Go by Makari presents a raw and emotional portrayal of the struggle to move on from the past and the feeling of being trapped in one's own thoughts and memories.

Andy has become my new Jonny Craig. And I mean that in the most positive way possible. Everything Jonny Craig was apart of turned to gold in my opinion and same goes with Andy. Your voice is one of a kind and Makari has made it to the top of my favorite bands because of you. Please don’t try to sell MacBooks for drugs please. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
