Let It Go
Matilda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came out of nowhere
I wasn′t prepared
Nothing that you said made sense to me
Nothing compared

You came out swinging
Breaking my guard
Nothing that I felt made sense to me
And I fell hard

I don't know why we broke up
But we did
And I don′t know why it's still us
But it is

Now we're fighting ′cause we never fought
And we′re just fighting 'cause we′re missing out
Think about everything we could've been
If you could just let it go and let me in
Now we′re breaking 'cause we never broke
Fully when you told me you were letting go
Think about everything we could′ve been
If you could just let it go and let me in

Let it go and let me in
Let it go and let me in
Think about everything we could've been

You came out of nowhere
Again
Nothing that I said made sense to you
But things were felt

I came out swinging
Letting you know
Everything we once were is all I'll ever want

I don′t know why we broke up
But we did
And I don′t know why it's still us
But it is

Now we′re fighting 'cause we never fought
And we′re just fighting 'cause we′re missing out
Think about everything we could've been
If you could just let it go and let me in
Now we're breaking ′cause we never broke
Fully when you told me you were letting go
Think about everything we could′ve been
If you could just let it go and let me in

Let it go and let me in
Let it go and let me in
Think about everything we could've been

Let it go and let me in




Let it go and let me in
If you could just let it go and let me in

Overall Meaning

In "Let It Go" by Matilda, the lyrics describe a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The song starts with the singer expressing surprise and confusion at the sudden arrival of someone in their life. The person's words and actions are perplexing, but they make a strong impact on the singer. The singer then reflects on the breakup, acknowledging that they don't know the exact reason why they separated but they did. Despite the breakup, there is still a lingering connection between them, and they don't understand why they can't let go of each other.


The chorus emphasizes the ongoing conflict and fighting in their relationship. The singer suggests that they are fighting now only because they didn't fight before, as if they are missing out on some necessary confrontation. They urge the other person to think about the potential they had together and if they could just let go of whatever is holding them back, they could rebuild and reestablish their connection. The bridge reinforces these sentiments and again pleads for the person to release their grip on the past and open up to the possibility of a future together.


Overall, "Let It Go" explores the complexities of a relationship that has ended but still leaves both parties longing for each other. It touches on the confusion, the desire for resolution, and the hope for a second chance.

I came across your channel when I was having a really tough time. I was listening to your songs all days long as their lyrics helped me get rid of the disgusting thoughts I had. So I am pretty sure they truly contributed to my ‘healing’. I just want to tell you THANK YOU. Please, keep inspiring other people and show them that being different is okay.
Tons of love from Russia❤️
