Let Go
SafetySuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess you finally got me
Now you're off to somewhere
I don't know, kn-know, kn-know, know, kn-know
And I don't wanna make up
Cause I've already seen the light
Everybody fakes it
You go a long way getting your way
Sometimes
And everything's screaming
It's time we let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Say no, say no, say no
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Now every time it happens
You make it for a day and
Then you get to thinking
Oh no, n-no, no, no, n-no, n-no
But I don't wanna hear it
And I don't want a second call
Every lie is making
Me feel like
It's time to let go, let go, let go
It's time we let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
It's time we let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Say no, say no, say no
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
You're always telling me to hold on
You're always telling me to hold on
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
Say no, say no, say no
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
I don't know what happened
I guess you finally got me
The song "Let Go" by SafetySuit explores the idea of letting go of a toxic relationship. The lyrics show the singer coming to terms with the fact that the relationship has reached its end, despite the other person's attempts to keep it alive. The opening lines “I don't know what happened, I guess you finally got me” could suggest that the other person has worn down the singer’s resistance to the relationship. However, the singer acknowledges that they don’t want to keep pretending the relationship is okay, as they’ve already “seen the light”. The lines “everybody fakes it, and everybody hurts sometimes” further suggest that although things may have seemed okay on the surface, the singer was hurting underneath.
The repetition of the phrase “let go” throughout the song emphasizes the importance of moving on. The lines “you're always telling me to hold on, I think it's time we let go” suggest that the other person may not want to let go of the relationship, but the singer sees it as necessary. The repetition of the phrase “say no” towards the end of the song reinforces this idea of the singer taking control and refusing to continue with the toxic situation.
Overall, “Let Go” is a song about recognizing when a relationship has reached its end and having the strength to walk away from it in order to move on and find a healthier situation.

I don't know what happened
I am unsure of how we got to this point
I guess you finally got me
You have succeeded in exerting control over me
Now you're off to somewhere
You are leaving and I am unsure where you are going
I don't know, kn-know, kn-know, know, kn-know
My uncertainty about the situation is causing confusion
And I don't wanna make up
I do not want to pretend that everything is okay
Cause I've already seen the light
I am aware of the reality of the situation and do not want to ignore it
Everybody fakes it
People often pretend that everything is okay, even when it is not
And everybody hurts sometimes
Everyone experiences pain at some point in their lives
You go a long way getting your way
You have been successful in getting what you want
Sometimes
But not always
And everything's screaming
The situation is overwhelming and chaotic
It's time we let go, let go, let go
It is time to move on and release our attachment to this situation
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
I believe that it is time for us to let go of this situation
Let go, let go, let go
We need to release our grasp on this situation
Say no, say no, say no
We need to reject the idea of holding onto this situation
Now every time it happens
Each time this happens
You make it for a day and
You are able to continue on for a short time
Then you get to thinking
But then you start to doubt and question
Oh no, n-no, no, no, n-no, n-no
Your uncertainty and fear is overwhelming
But I don't wanna hear it
I do not want to listen to your doubts and fears
And I don't want a second call
I do not want to deal with this situation again
Every lie is making
Each time you deceive me
Me feel like
I am starting to believe that
You're always telling me to hold on
You are constantly encouraging me to stay in a difficult situation
I think it's time we let go, let go, let go
I believe it is necessary for us to release this situation

No matter what, safetysuit will be the best band of the world forever
@AirForceFalcon17
I kind of like that they don't get a lot of exposure, they are seriously my favorite band and their music is so pure. A lot of times when bands get famous they loose a lot of what made us love them in the first place or at least loose control over a lot of what they do, so why not just keep them our little divine secret? ♥♥♥
@xkrg10
I absolutely love this song! It's different, and his voice is so unique! Safetysuit, do what your hearts desire. Keep pumping us full of your creative styles, and we will keep listening! <3
@shotputbsblover
I love this song along with their new album. They should get 50 billion views. Safetysuit forever!
@makmania
This song is great! Too bad a lot of the world has never heard of them...
@BASSETTI8
It shouldn't matter whether they tweek their style or not. Everyone changes, music changes with the person. OneRepublics, Ryan, helped produce this song, that's why it has more of that onerepublic feel. This song is incredibly catchy and the music video is so simple yet I love it to pieces. Whatever direction Safetysuit goes, I'll be following them.
@lovelovediversity
