Let Me Go
Ron Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wont you drive me home
Wont you let me go X3
Wont you drive me home
I dont really mind if you cant stay the night
Thats alright by me
And you can make believe, pretend that I dont see
I sleep but never dream
But I could never stay to watch you fall from grace
The look upon your face
The way youre feelings changed it shook me to my knees
The fading afternoon, my thoughts of only you
Im here but you dont see
And Im not really sure if Id be better off a hundred miles away
But I could never stay to watch you fall from grace

Ron Pope's Let Me Go is a song about a relationship that has met its end. The singer is pleading with their partner to let them go and drive them home, even though they have no intention of spending the night. They are resigned to the fact that they no longer share the same love and are ready to move on. The line "I sleep but never dream" reflects their disillusionment with the relationship and their feeling of being stuck in a rut. The singer also recognizes the darkness that exists outside of the door when they are standing alone, but they cannot stay to watch their partner fall from grace. The way their partner's feelings have changed shakes them to their knees and they are forced to admit that being a hundred miles away from them may be the best solution.
The fading afternoon and thoughts of only their partner hint that the singer is still deeply in love with their partner, but the relationship has passed its prime. The song's wistful and melancholic tone highlights the bittersweet nature of a love that has come to its end. The message of the song is not one of anger or bitterness, but of resignation and acceptance that the end of a relationship is necessary for both parties to move on.

I've never been in love, never had my heart broken... But I know that when the time comes, Ron Pope's wonderful music will be there to help me through those hard times... And even though I've never had those feelings, I can relate to his songs and basically feel the powerful message. <3
