Let me go
Stapp Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me friend are you believing
Tell me friend if it's worth the fight
So please let me go
So please let me go Let me go
What's the use of our deceiving
We are lost and all our hope is gone
So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go
So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go
Once a boy I was forgiven
Now a man I'm lucky living
Always know our memories will live on
We'll live on
We'll live on
We'll live on
We'll live on
So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go
So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go
Let me go
The song "Let Me Go" by Stapp Scott seems to convey a message of acceptance, resignation and moving on. The chorus is an appeal to the singer's friend to stop holding on and to allow him to let go of something that seems to be a source of pain or sadness.
The first verse begins with the singer questioning whether it is worth fighting for something that needs forgiving, asking his friend if he believes in the struggle. The second verse poses rhetorical questions about the usefulness of holding on and retreating. The third verse transitions from the past to the present, acknowledging that though he was forgiven as a boy, he is now grateful for the chance to live on and that memories will endure.
The chorus repeats the plea to let go, with the final verse offering a sense of hope and closure- we will live on. The song seems to be a meditation on the idea that sometimes we must surrender to the flow of life and accept that some things are not meant to be held onto.
