Let It Be
Superchic[k] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So they can swim a little higher while you drown
Some people mean so well, their way was the best way that they've found
But any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down
So tell me
what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
Of sticks and stones and word's that stuck to me like ticks
Let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
Let it be.
Some people give themselves a brick, I know most people do
When we compare, we fall short somewhere, it's always true
If all we see is where we fall, we've bricked the prison wall
Instead of trying to learn to fly we've taught ourselves to crawl
So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
Of sticks and stones and word's that stuck to me like ticks
Let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
Let it be.
We could believe in ourselves more
We could try for unique instead of trying to conform
We could defy what they tell us
And don't buy the lies they sell us
And we're brave we can believe in what we are
Let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
Let it be.
The song "Let It Be" by Superchic[k] talks about the burdens that we carry with us, often caused by other people's opinions and expectations. The lyrics highlight how some people try to bring you down by giving you "bricks" - negative comments, comparison, unrealistic expectations, and judgment. These individuals can swim higher while you struggle to stay afloat in the sea of their opinions. However, it is important to remember that it is your life, and no one else's. You have the power to choose which bricks you want to keep and which ones you need to let go of. The song encourages the listener to let go of the negative words and beliefs that keep them from being the person that God intended them to be.
The song's lyrics suggest ways to let go of these bricks. The first step is to acknowledge the burden you carry, then to let it go, brick by brick. When you finally free yourself from what weighs you down, you become free, and you can start believing in your potential. You must trust your own instincts and realize that you are unique, and it's okay not to conform to others' unreasonable expectations. Finally, the song encourages you to be brave and courageous and believe in what you are, and the person that God intended you to be.
