Don't Let Go
Mesa Luna Lyrics

In the first verse of "Don't Let Go," Mesa Luna describes waking up feeling disconnected from their true self. They refer to this state as "ordinary hell," suggesting that it is a common experience many people can relate to. They question whether they are alone in this feeling, as if they cannot see clearly or perceive their surroundings. This uncertainty creates a sense of being lost or disoriented, not knowing where they are or what is happening around them.

As the song progresses, the singer slowly regains their sense of self and awareness. This is symbolized by the line "slowly I returned hand upon my chest," suggesting a physical gesture of grounding oneself and reconnecting with their internal reality. The act of pinching oneself serves as a wake-up call, a reminder to stay present and engaged in their own life. It signifies the desire for a reality check and a need to distinguish between what may feel surreal or disconnected from what is truly happening.

The bridge of the song emphasizes the tumultuous nature of the singer's experiences. They refer to these ups and downs as "short-circuiting," suggesting a disruption in their emotional or mental state. This phrase also metaphorically implies that their inner world is in a state of chaos or confusion, as if a circuit is malfunctioning. Finally, the repeated plea of "don't let go" serves as a reminder or a plea to themselves not to lose touch with their true self, not to lose sight of who they are amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life's challenges. It encapsulates the importance of staying grounded, connected, and true to oneself in the face of adversity.
