Let You Go
Miles Ramone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you always manage
Laying in a ton of ice
Become numb to damage
So to say you wanna die
Never man enough
Clinging to the dimming light
Carry what you can't lift
Wingless butterfly, so hard to hide you
Cocooned in the fire
Don't you stay the night, we can't disguise you
So hard to hide you
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
I've got life to do
What am I
Who are you?
How frustrating to be the one who blocks the moon
Sacred saying "treat others how they treat you"
How can I treat myself?
Who's my help?
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so now I gotta let you go
Say it ain't so
The lyrics to Miles Ramone's song "Let You Go" delve into the complexity of a troubled individual and the singer's struggle with letting them go. The opening lines reference the troubled life the person has lived, but despite their struggles, they always find a way to manage. The metaphor of "laying in a ton of ice" suggests that this person has become accustomed to numbing themselves to emotional pain or damage. However, despite their resilience, they express a desire to die, revealing the internal turmoil they are facing. They hold onto the faint light of hope, carrying the burden of what they cannot lift.
The chorus brings forth the metaphor of a wingless butterfly, emphasizing the person's vulnerability and the difficulty they face in hiding their pain. They feel cocooned in the fire, trapped in their own emotional turmoil. The singer acknowledges that they cannot disguise the person's pain, suggesting that it is evident to them. The repetitive plea of "say it ain't so" reveals the singer's reluctance to let this person go, but they recognize that it is necessary for their own well-being.
The second verse explores the singer's own frustration and confusion. They question their own identity and purpose in life, contrasting it with the troubled individual. They express frustration at being the one who blocks the moon, symbolizing the obstacles that stand in the way of finding peace. The reference to the saying "treat others how they treat you" highlights the singer's struggle to treat themselves with the same care. They question who can help them in their own journey of self-acceptance and healing.
Overall, "Let You Go" reflects the internal struggle of both the troubled individual and the singer, highlighting the challenge of letting go of someone who is in pain, but also recognizing the need for self-preservation.
