At Least We Tried
Moby Lyrics

The lyrics of Moby's song "At Least We Tried" sung by Freedom Bremner express a sense of resignation and sorrow in the face of a failed relationship. The repeated refrain, "Oh my baby, don't cry, Oh my babe just say goodbye," implies that the singers have come to the end of their relationship, but are still holding onto each other, still trying, in some way, to make it work. However, they seem to recognize that their efforts are futile, that they are unable to overcome the confusion and uncertainty of the present moment. The line "But in these days I'm so confused" seems to acknowledge a sense of uncertainty about the future, a feeling of not knowing what might happen or what the outcome of their attempts might be.

The lyrics also contain a sense of nostalgia and the fleeting nature of love, as evidenced by the line "Oh my love at least we had it, Let me hold on, to you." The singer seems to be saying that although the relationship has ended, the memory of their love is something they can still hold onto, something that can provide comfort in the midst of loss. Ultimately, the song provides an image of two people who are struggling to let go of each other, even as they recognize that their relationship is over.
