Let You Go
Oddly Ginger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got expectations in my head
If I could lay to rest
The thought of you lying in my bed
I don't wanna lie no more
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
But I've never tried before
Lost in my mind
How can I let you go
Leave it behind
So I can find
Someone I already know
Who do I hit up now
Don't know but I'll figure it out
How can I let you go
Pick some flowers by the road
Six morning glory in a row
I wish that I could feel
Someone that was real
I don't wanna lie no more
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
But I've never tried before
Lost in my mind
This is goodbye
How can I let you go
Leave it behind
So I can find
Someone I already know
Who do I hit up now?
Don't know but I'll figure it out
How can I let you go
In Oddly Ginger's song "Let You Go," the lyrics express the internal struggle of letting go of someone before even meeting them. The singer acknowledges that they have certain expectations and ideals about this person they haven't encountered yet, which sets the stage for a complex emotional journey. The desire to lay to rest the fantasy of this mysterious individual being in their bed indicates a longing to move on from unrealistic fantasies and embrace reality.
The refrain "I don't wanna lie no more, but I've never tried before" suggests a conflict between the desire for honesty and the fear of stepping into the unknown. The repetition of not wanting to lie signifies a yearning for authenticity and transparency, which has not been explored or experienced before. The singer finds themselves lost in their thoughts, saying goodbye to the illusion they have created in their mind of this person that they have to let go.
The lines "Leave it behind so I can find someone I already know" highlight the need to move forward and discover genuine connections with people who are already present in their life. The idea of hitting someone up now and figuring it out reflects a willingness to explore new relationships and possibilities beyond the imagined one they are holding onto. The struggle of letting go is further exemplified through the imagery of picking flowers by the road, symbolizing a journey of letting go and moving forward.
Overall, "Let You Go" captures a poignant struggle with letting go of an idealized person and the quest for genuine connections and authenticity. The internal conflict, desire for honesty, and willingness to embrace new beginnings are all themes interwoven in the lyrics, resonating with listeners who may have experienced similar emotional dilemmas in their own lives.

Truth is I haven't met you yet
In reality, I have not yet encountered you
Got expectations in my head
There are preconceived notions in my mind
If I could lay to rest
If I could finally put to rest
The thought of you lying in my bed
The idea of you being in my bed
I don't wanna lie no more
I no longer want to deceive
But I've never tried before
Yet, I have never attempted to do so
Lost in my mind
Confused in my thoughts
This is goodbye
This is farewell
How can I let you go
How can I release you
Leave it behind
Move on from it
So I can find
In order to discover
Someone I already know
Someone I am already familiar with
Who do I hit up now
Whom should I contact now
Don't know but I'll figure it out
I am uncertain, yet I will find a solution
Pick some flowers by the road
Collect some flowers along the path
Six morning glory in a row
Six morning glory flowers in sequence
I wish that I could feel
I desire to experience
Someone that was real
A person who was genuine

The color wheel gates broke.
And before it did, the Red and the Blue were separated due to extreme lengths of breeding sessions.
Then the gates broke, they got back together and they just [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and there was blood EVERYWHERE, and that’s how they made me.

This album was reissued on 8-track as part of an April Fool's joke a few years ago and the only copies that got made were whoever ordered one. I think it's in the single digits. The crown jewel of my collection.

"Intellectual content" was on both the MOST and LEAST wanted lists, thus Wittgenstein is mentioned in both songs.
