LET ME GO
The Mods Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aren't you sick of the way you're living
Let down in life without being forgiven
Struggle for a future
You try to survive
Put on this world to rot and die

Let me out
Let me out me out

Me out of this world
Tell me how I got here
Why don't you say a word

Let me out me out
Me out of this world

Tell me how I got here
Why don't you say a word

Overall Meaning

The Mods' song "Let Me Go" presents a feeling of despair and hopelessness, as the lyrics deal with a deep unhappiness with the way life is progressing. The opening lines express dissatisfaction with the current situation and how it seems almost impossible to be forgiven or change it. The verse ends with a realization of a struggle for a future, but it appears to be fruitless. The lyrics suggest that the individual feels they were put in the world just to rot and die, implying a sense of complete hopelessness.

The chorus of the song is an appeal for release from this feeling of stagnation, urging someone to let the singer out of their unhappy situation. The song's verses and chorus seem to be extolling an existential crisis, with the lyrics suggesting a deep frustration with the world and how it treats the individual. The repeated call for release from it all implies the inability to process or deal with the current issues, indicating that the singer wants to escape it all.
