Mocca is an Indonesian music … Read Full Bio ↴Mocca is an indie pop band from Indonesia.
Mocca is an Indonesian music band formed in 1997 in Bandung, Indonesia. The band's musical style is inspired by the retro sounds of the 70s, with influences of swing, bossa nova, pop and jazz.
The story began when two best friends: -- Arina and Riko -- got together in a college band. After a year of struggling with the boredom of performing other people's music, they decided to write their own songs.
In 1997 they composed four songs, unfortunately, those songs weren’t well accepted by the other members of the band. After caught up in conflicts and tons of disagreements, the band decided to split up leaving Arina and Riko mystified with their deserted materials.
Their debut album "My Diary" contains 13 songs written from a girl's point of view and her diary entries. The album starts with a Once Upon A Time and is followed by a song telling of a first encounter with her Secret Admirer. Then after much hesitation in Twist Me Around, she decides to go steady with the boy in Me & My Boyfriend. In Telephone they break up, understanding that When the Moonlight Shines, they just weren't meant for each other and thus, Rain Will Fall, Life Keeps On Turning.
From waltz and bossa nova to '70s disco and rock, each song (written in English) has a different beat determined by the girl's mood. When playing live, MOCCA is supported by six additional players on keyboards, guitar, percussion, trumpet, trombone and sax.

Let Me Go
Mocca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hypnotic compassion always grabs my attention, those lines are persuasions just give it a rest.
Perhaps you know my biggest weakness,
(what are you saying?)
To accept your sweet politeness,
(I didn't hear you)
( are you complaining)
Won't you let me go,
(or complementing?)
Let me go 2x (no no) , Are you listening so please just let me go (or perhaps I will).
Let me go 2x ( or maybe no/ or maybe yes) , Are you listening so please just let me go because you drive me insane so please just hear what I say, I beg you Honey, won't you let me go.
You're sure I asked for a sweet surrender? 'cause I think you are so tender, I'm a great pretender, and ofcourse Dear, you sure need it.
I sure know your biggest weakness,
( what are you saying?)
You'll accept my sweet politeness,
( I didn't hear you)
And obey my words of kindness,
( are you complaining)
I won't let you go,
(or complementing?)
Let me go 2x (no no) , Are you listening so please just let me go (or perhaps I will).
Let me go 2x ( or maybe no/ or maybe yes) , Are you listening so please just let me go because you drive me insane so please just hear what I say, I beg you Honey, won't you let me go.
I know you twist things around on the tip of your tongue, I beg you Honey, won't you Let Me Go!
The song Let Me Go by Mocca seems to be about a relationship where one partner is struggling to break free from the other's hold. The lyrics reveal a back and forth conversation between the two partners, where one is trying to be kind and sweet while the other is resisting and insisting on being let go. The first verse suggests that the partner's sweet words and actions are not genuine and that they are just pretending. The second verse takes a surprising turn when the roles are switched, and the partner being asked to let go assumes the role of the sweet-talker. This verse reveals that the two partners are caught in a cycle of pretending and trying to outdo each other in being kind and sweet, but the true nature of their relationship is hollow and insincere.
The chorus repeats the plea to be let go, with an added emphasis on the partner's insanity caused by the other partner's hold. The bridge asks the other partner to stop twisting things around and to let go, creating a more desperate tone. Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the toxicity of a relationship where one partner is trying to hold on to the other despite their wishes to be freed.
