Let Go
Seasons After Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took everything you took and I came out all right
Sometimes you have to hold it inside
Sometimes you have to fight
It's as if you've forgotten all of this
Then you try to remember with your fist
Lies bind you

You have to find a way to let go of the past
Let go of the past
We have but one life to live; it doesn't last
Life, it doesn't last
Not everything you've ever been told is the truth
Been told is the truth
You have to work it out for yourself
It's all on you

You are no byproduct
Tainted by the past
We survived; we're alive
And we don't need to go back
For years, your hate has driven you to barricade yourself
Inside your domicile, far from the reach of someone's help

You have to find a way to let go of the past
Let go of the past
We have but one life to live; it doesn't last
Life, it doesn't last
Not everything you've ever been told is the truth
Been told is the truth
You have to work it out for yourself
It's all on you

Help me
Help you
Reach out
Break through
I can't reach you
If you don't want me to
We lived the same life
And I'm on your side

You have to find a way to let go of the past
Let go of the past
We have but one life to live; it doesn't last
Life, it doesn't last
Not everything you've ever been told is the truth
Been told is the truth
You have to work it out for yourself
It's all on you





It's all on you
