Let me go
Simon And Gerümpel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That she's nothing less that perfect
That she has no aspirations
Beyond driving in her car
The car she looks so good in
Will she ever look that good again
You'll never have to know
Because she's gone
She passes in the left lane
And you're turned on by the chase
Her hair flies in the wind
As your mind begins to race
The grass is always greener
But I wish you could have seen her
Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am
You think she knows the bible
And can swin the English Channel
Writes novels in her spare time
In a cabin in her woods
You wish I'd gone to college
And you wish I'd let my hair grow
You wish I didn't have so many moods
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Once you said you were in love with me
And maybe you still are
But the passion you once showed me
Now is lost among the stars
And you fancy some new fancy girl
Will come and change your life around
But she just turned the corner in her car
While for some other dreamin' driver
I am that romantic stranger
Lookin' better than I am
More mysterious by far
Speeding through his dreams
While I'm drivin' in my car
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
The lyrics of Simon And Gerümpel's song Let Me Go are about a woman who is being compared to someone more ideal: a perfect and flawless person who seems to have everything going right for them. The singer is telling the listener that they are wrong to think that way about the woman in question, and that she is much more than what meets the eye. The woman may drive a nice car and look good while doing so, but she also has her own personal issues and flaws that the listener is not privy to. The grass always seems greener on the other side, but the listener should appreciate the woman for who she is rather than what they perceive her to be from afar.
The chorus is a plea for acceptance and understanding. The woman is asking the listener to take her as she is, with all her insecurities, quirks, and moods. She acknowledges that the listener wishes she was different, but she is asking for them to accept her for who she is, flaws and all. The woman knows that someone else will come along and catch the listener's eye, but she wants to be appreciated for the time they have together and hopes that they will not continue to hold her to an unrealistic standard.
Overall the song is a thoughtful commentary on how we often compare ourselves and others to an idealized version of what we think people should be, rather than appreciating them for who they are. The lyrics encourage listeners to be vulnerable, embrace their own flaws, and show compassion toward others.

You wonder if she will be as attractive in the future
You'll never have to know
You won't find out because she's gone
She passes in the left lane
She overtakes you from the left side
And you're turned on by the chase
The pursuit of her excites you
Her hair flies in the wind
Her hair blows in the wind
As your mind begins to race
You start to think rapidly
The grass is always greener
People tend to desire what they don't have
But I wish you could have seen her
You would realize her flaws
Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face
She was intoxicated and lying on the ground, looking disheveled
Take me as I am
Accept me for who I truly am
Take me as I am
Accept me without trying to change me

You wish I didn't have so many moods
You wish I were less emotional
Once you said you were in love with me
You previously claimed to be in love with me
And maybe you still are
You may still have feelings for me
But the passion you once showed me
Your intense love for me has faded away
Now is lost among the stars
It has disappeared entirely
And you fancy some new fancy girl
You are attracted to a new woman
Will come and change your life around
You believe that she will transform your life
But she just turned the corner in her car
She has left and won't change anything
While for some other dreamin' driver
For another person fantasizing while driving
I am that romantic stranger
I am the mysterious, alluring stranger
Lookin' better than I am
Seeming more attractive than I actually am
More mysterious by far
Appearing more enigmatic than anyone else
Speeding through his dreams
Existing as a part of his dreams
While I'm drivin' in my car
I am driving in my own car, living my own life

Bei dem Rätsel mit im selben Moment geboren gibt es noch eine Lösung:
Ein Moment ist eine mittelalterliche Zeiteinheit und entspricht wenigen Sekunden. Der eine könnte kurz vor, der andere kurz nach Mitternacht geboren sein🙂
