Let Go
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did your life turn out the wayyou wanted?
You worked your fingers to the bone
Now you stare at the four walls that own you
You must break, you must break away
All your world has turned to grey
What once you had has gone away
Consuming are the thoughts you just won't let go
The photos that you have will fade
Is'nt that enough of a sign to show you
That everything in life will change
The hand that you have been dealt must not own you
You must break, you must break away
All your world has turned to grey
The colour on your life has gone and left you
What once you had has gone away
Consuming are the thoughts you just won't let go
The lyrics of "Let Go" by SOiL reflect the struggle of someone who has dedicated their life to something, only to realize they are not happy with the outcome. The song starts off with questions that reflect on the things that the person once envisioned for their future. "Did you think you'd be alone?" shows that the person may have expected something different, perhaps involving others. Then, "Did your life turn out the way you wanted?" is a rhetorical question that doesn't expect a response, but rather encourages the listener to reflect on their own life. These questions lead into the chorus which is repeated twice throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of breaking away from whatever is keeping them tied down.
The second verse continues in a similar vein, with the lyrics focusing on how everything the person once loved has turned grey. The lines, "The colour on your life has gone and left you, What once you had has gone away" emphasize the loss the person is feeling. The final line of the verse, "Consuming are the thoughts you just won't let go", is repeated again in the chorus to emphasize what the person must do to move on - they have to let go of the negative thoughts that consume them.
Overall, "Let Go" is a powerful song about the importance of listening to oneself before it's too late. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has dedicated themselves to a certain path or dream, only to realize it's not really what they want. They need to break free and move on to something that makes them happy.
