Let Go
PFR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verse 1)
If there is only one god
Why do we serve so many
If there is only one law
Why do we live like there aren't any
I'm not trying to get you down
I just want you to know
That if you going to live for God
You've got to let go

(Chorus 1)
Got to let go of the little things
Before they get you down
Got to let go or they'll drag you to the bottom
And hold you down
It's a war we all fight
And compromise is the battleground
But if you're never gonna grow
You've got to let go

(Verse 2)
If there's only one truth
One original way
Why do we search like blind men
Can't see the sunshine in the light of day
We've got to turn around
And run the other way
Cause if we're gonna live for God
We've got to turn away

(Chorus 2)
Turn away from the little things
Before they get us down
Turn away or they'll drag us to the bottom
And hold us down
It's a war we'll fight
And compromise is the battleground
But if we're ever gonna change
We've got to turn away





(Repeat Chorus)

Overall Meaning

The song "Let Go" by PFR is a reflection on the human tendency to hold onto things that ultimately drag us down. The first verse questions why we serve so many gods when there is only one, and why we live like there are no laws when there is only one. The singer is not trying to bring the listener down but rather to help them understand that if they are going to live for God, they must let go of the things that weigh them down.


The chorus emphasizes this point and encourages the listener to let go of the little things before they become big problems. The singer acknowledges that compromise is the battleground in this war we all fight, but if we are never going to grow, we must let go. The second verse expands on this idea and questions why we search for truth when it is right in front of us. We need to turn around and run the other way to truly live for God.


Overall, the message of the song is that we need to let go of the things that are holding us back from living for God. We need to turn away from the things that are dragging us down and compromising our beliefs. It is a call to action to live a more authentic and truthful life.

on Goldie's Last Day

We are confident that this incident was not an accident

I think this is more about the fact that it was just her time to go, not that there was foul play. It wasn't an avoidable accident, but just a full life coming to the end
