Let Me Go
Painshock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weight of life is coming to my dreams
Much more than i can bear
It's starting to rain again
And the pain is pushing me down on my knees
And it leaves me in despair
There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to hide
There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to hide
I can't take this pain
Let me go, let me wake and see the day
Let me go to make the pain go away
Let me go, let me do it my own way
You will see, I will die anyway
The sky is grey again
The sun no longer shines, who is to blame?
I don't really want to know
Losing my faith again
The pain is holding me down in the shade
I'm weaker than before
I don't want to run, I don't want to hide
I'm going to have my final breath
I'm losing the fight, I'm losing it all
I have to take this pain
Let me go, let me wake and see the day
Let me go to make the pain go away
Let me go, let me do it my own way
You will see, I will die anyway
Let me go, let me wake and see the day
Let me go to make the pain go away
Let me go, let me do it my own way
You will see, I will die anyway
The lyrics of Painshock's song Let Me Go express feelings of isolation, desperation, and hopelessness in the face of overwhelming pain and suffering. The opening lines suggest a recurrent sense of loneliness and a feeling of being burdened by the weight of an unbearable existence. This is further reflected in the metaphorical language used to describe the weather and the way that the pain seems to push the singer down to their knees in despair. The chorus of the song expresses a desire to escape from this pain and to be able to live life on one's own terms, even if that means dying.
The second verse continues with the theme of pain and suffering, but also introduces a sense of guilt and responsibility. The singer feels they are losing their faith and questions who is to blame for the darkness in their life. Again, the pain is described as holding the singer down and making them weaker. The final chorus brings the song to its climax, repeating the desire to be freed from the pain and the acceptance that death may be the only way to achieve this. It is a powerful and emotive depiction of a person in the depths of despair.

Absolutely true. It's as if you are reading my little sister's story. At 12 , she looked as if she was pregnant . After tests and coming up with no answer, they asked my parents for permission to do an exploratory surgery, they removed a 21 lbs tumor on her right ovary that was pushing up her abdomen. She also had her ovary removed. That was in the 1970.

@Oma Cool What a gross generalization. There are plenty of doctors that take women's health seriously. Don't attack all doctors like that.

I cant believe doctors dident find it sooner. With my last son ,I was so big and uncomfortable. My son was only 10.9lbs. Cant image how she felt. Bless her heart.

Some doctors really don't seem to care about helping people. It's really sad.
