Let Me Know
Wildfire Willie & The Ramblers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me be young (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just leave me alone
Let me be young
Let me move along
This has to stop
All your bullshit on pop
Your wits disappear
While you're stacking up years
The road that you smear
Is for me and my peers
You are done
Now, let me be young

This here music was meant for me
Play something else if you disagree
A model is what you wanna be
But I just wanna be me

Let me be young
I wanna choose my own way
Let me be young
I don't care what you say
I want to be free
That is my melody
I will give, I will take
And leave you in my wake
And if you feel an ache
That's your own mistake
Cause you're done
Let me be young

This here music was meant for me
Play something else if you disagree
A model is what you wanna be
But I just wanna be me





Let me be young
I wanna choose my own way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wildfire Willie & The Ramblers' song "Let Me Know" delve into themes of youthful rebellion and defiance against authority. The singer of the song is directly addressing an older figure, telling them to "leave [them] alone" and "let [them] be young." The song is a call to allow younger generations to maintain their individuality and pursue their passions without being bogged down by the expectations and limitations of their elders.


The lyrics emphasize the importance of being true to oneself and choosing one's own path. The older figure in the song is portrayed as someone who is stuck in their ways and has lost touch with the energy and creativity of youth.

The song's message is ultimately one of empowerment and self-expression. It encourages young people to stand up for themselves and pursue their own unique goals, rather than living up to the expectations of others. Through its catchy, upbeat melody and rebellious lyrics, "Let Me Know" captures the spirit of youth and the desire to break free from the rules and limitations that are often imposed by society.
