虚しさが泳いでいた
置き去りにした僕らの夏は
不完全燃焼のまんま

We're fighting against the odds

The lyrics of Ren's song "Don't Let Go" paint a vivid picture of a summer filled with emptiness and incomplete experiences. The blue sky without a single cloud reflects the void that swim within them. The summer they left behind remains unfinished, leaving them unsatisfied. Despite knowing that they are fighting against the odds, they feel that their efforts are not enough, as they're left wanting for more.
The chorus emphasizes the urgency and readiness for a satisfying summer experience. They urge not to let go, as they are prepared and eager for the satisfaction that summer brings. The repetition of "Woo Woo yeah" adds a sense of excitement and optimism, as they believe that the choice of whether to make the most out of the season is always in their hands.
The second verse highlights the struggles they face in a life where even the opportunity to express oneself is suppressed. They repress their desire to speak up, leading to a flood of uncertain emotions. The repetition of "Hello? Hello? How long? How long?" questions the duration of this stifling situation and expresses their longing for change.
The bridge amplifies the theme of seizing the moment and pursuing the passing seasons. The scorching ultraviolet rays ignite their hearts, making their sweat shimmer as they chase after the passage of time. They recognize that even if the present may be seen as youthful folly in retrospect, they want to cherish the memories that will endure beyond this summer.
Overall, "Don't Let Go" encapsulates the yearning for a fulfilling summer experience, the frustration of limitations, and the determination to make the most of the present.
