LIFE IN HER YET
Rag'n'Bone Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She still remembers the time that was uncomplicated
But sure as the sun rise, she's seen things that you'll never see
Losses and heartaches amount to her strength
But oh, how they both take their toll

She's still here fighting
Better know there's life in her yet
Time will take us all, and turn us into stones
It leaves us with regrets and picks apart the threads
Hung over fragile bones

Let her go
I can't let her go
I can't let her go

Her hands tell the story of hardships that we'll never know
Her face is a map of a lifetime on well traveled roads
But those eyes tell nothing of a soul that is spared
A heart that is longing for death

She's still here fighting
Better know there's life in her yet

Time will take us all, and turn us into stones
It leaves us with regret, it picks apart the threads
Hung over fragile bones

Let her go
I can't let her go
I can't let her go
Let her go
I can't let her go
I can't let her go





Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics to Rag'n'Bone Man's song "Life in Her Yet" suggests that the subject of the song has lived long enough to experience both the good and the bad in life. Despite the heartaches and losses that she has endured, she remains a fighter. Her will to live has not been broken, and she is determined to keep moving forward. The lines "Losses and heartaches amount to her strength/But oh, how they both take their toll" highlight the idea that every experience in one's life, both the positive and the negative, contribute to one's character but often come at a great cost.


The middle part of the song suggests that time can be cruel and that it can turn us into mere shadows of ourselves. With the passage of time, we accumulate regrets and grow frail. The lines "It leaves us with regrets and picks apart the threads/Hungover fragile bones" demonstrate how the effects of time can weigh heavily on our bodies and spirit, and in many ways, it is like carrying a burden that never lifts.


The chorus of the song serves as a reminder that despite the hardships and losses, the subject of the song is still very much alive and fighting. Her journey may have left scars, but she has not given up, and there is still a spark of life that shines within her. The repetition of the phrase "Let her go/I can't let her go" adds a poignant and emotional touch to the song, suggesting that the subject of the song might be at the end of her life or that someone close to her might be.
