Let Go
Russell Alice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nothing to lose
Gotta get my pink stray
Jazz away them blues
Still got my fake
But it's gettin loud
Now all these voicesKeep spinning round
Still above my skate
But a place in mind
He's closing me in
Such words that grind
I'm familiar Jenny
Missed them signs
I bare my positions
Flip over time
I'm trying not to break down
I'm holding on too tight now
Let go
Let go
I'm holding on too tight now
B R E A K D O W N
B R E A K D O W N
I'll breakdown
All eyes on me
I see you right
Right inside of me
Tell my back I'll be back too'Cause there's not much to lose
I'll beep my past
Still my blood beats blue
I'm trying not to break down
I'm holding on too tight now
Let go
Let go
I'm holding on too tight now
B R E A K D O W N (breakdown)
B R E A K D O W N (breakdown) (holding on too tight now)
In Russell Alice's song Let Go, the lyrics describe the struggle of trying to let go of something or someone, despite the difficulty in doing so. The first lines, "Gotta get my mind clear, got nothing to lose, gotta get my pink stray, jazz away them blues," signify the beginning of a journey or a decision to move on from something that may be causing turmoil or sadness. The use of the word "pink stray" may represent finding solace in something unexpected or unconventional. The repetition of the line "I'm holding on too tight now, let go" further emphasizes the struggle to let go of whatever is holding the singer back.
The second verse delves into the internal battle of the singer's thoughts and emotions. The line "Still got my fake, but it's getting loud" suggests that whatever the singer is holding onto as their facade or coping mechanism, is no longer working as effectively. The following lines describe feeling trapped and oppressed by their own thoughts, with "He's closing me in, such words that grind."

Gotta get my mind clear
I need to clear my head
Got nothing to lose
I don't have anything to lose
Gotta get my pink stray
I need to find freedom and joy
Jazz away them blues
I need to escape my problems
Still got my fake

But it's becoming harder to keep up the facade
Now all these voices
Now my thoughts and worries are multiplying
Keep spinning round
And won't stop
Still above my skate
I'm still standing strong
But a place in mind
But I have an idea in my head
He's closing me in
Something is making me feel trapped
Such words that grind
I can hear hurtful words in my mind
I'm familiar Jenny
I know what's coming
Missed them signs
But I didn't notice the warning signs
I bare my positions
I show my vulnerabilities
Flip over time
I'll overcome it with time
I'm trying not to break down
I'm trying to hold it together
I'm holding on too tight now
But I'm holding on too tightly
Let go
I need to let go

Otherwise I'll break down completely
All eyes on me
Everyone is watching
I see you right
I see through you
Right inside of me
You're affecting me deeply
Tell my back I'll be back too
I'll be back and better than before
Cause there's not much to lose
I don't have much else to lose
I'll beep my past
I'll leave my past behind
Still my blood beats blue
But I'm still affected by past hurts
B R E A K D O W N (breakdown)
I'm on the edge of a breakdown
B R E A K D O W N (breakdown) (holding on too tight now)
And it's because I'm holding on too tightly
