Let It Go
Saga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You travel the distance arising in the dark
You're on the run, there's no where to hide
The total resistance will guide you with a spark
You're coming undone with wounds open wide

Let it go, you keep walking on the line
Let it go, take the time to realize
You never surrender, avoid the regrets
Now you're going down, you're losing control

Every now and then, looking back again
At the point of your destruction
You psychoanalyze in your pool of lies
Drowning critical illusion

All that you are is a ripple on the ocean
That's lost in a tide

Let it go, you keep walking on the line
Let it go, take the time to realize
Let it go

You travel the distance arising in the dark
You're on the run, there's no where to hide
The total resistance will guide you with a spark
You're coming undone with wounds open wide





Let it go, you keep waling on the line
Let it go, take the time to realize

Overall Meaning

In Saga's song Let It Go, the lyrics describe the struggle of overcoming obstacles and moving forward in life. The opening lines of the song illustrate a difficult journey, filled with challenges and setbacks. The singer is on the run and there's nowhere to hide, suggesting that they are being pursued by something or someone. The total resistance will guide them with a spark, meaning that they will find their way through the difficulties with a glimmer of hope.


The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "let it go" and keep walking on the line. This line can be interpreted in a few ways, but overall it suggests that in the face of adversity, it's important to keep moving forward and not get too bogged down by doubts or fears. The following lines, "take the time to realize", suggest that reflection and introspection are important steps in this process.


The second verse of the song is more introspective, discussing the dangers of dwelling too much on past failures or shortcomings. The line "drowning critical illusion" suggests the singer may be stuck in a negative mindset, and the phrase "pool of lies" hints at their tendency to deceive themselves.


Overall, the song is a powerful anthem for perseverance and resilience in the face of difficult times. The lyrics encourage listeners to stay focused on the future and not get bogged down by past mistakes or negative self-talk.

Id LOVE if it Sadler sang these songs live from this album, especially this one, please sing this one and maybe a couple other ones like Crown of Thorns or Step inside during concerts. I know he didnt play on this album but this has some great songs and Id love for him to put his own flare on vocals for these songs and itd be just outright crazy just to forget this album ever existed because he didnt sing on it.
