Don't Let Go
molly tuttle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you keep a secret?
Is there someplace we can go?
I’ve been feeling heavy
Need to lighten up my load

Gotta keep on rolling
But I’m picking up the dust
Head is getting foggy
And the hinges all have rust

Can you keep the faith now?

Don’t let go of me
Don’t let go of me
Don’t let go
Don’t let go of me
Dip me in the water
Wash away my fear
I’ve been driving reckless
Need someone else to steer

I’ve been going straight down

Don’t let go of me
Don’t let go of me
Don’t let go
Don’t let go of me

I’ve been talking to some
Spirits on the radio
From a satellite in space
Beaming from the stars above and below

I’ve been all around the world




I’ve been all around the world
I’ve been all around the world

Overall Meaning

In "Don't Let Go" by Molly Tuttle, the lyrics depict a sense of vulnerability and a desire for support. The opening lines, "Can you keep a secret? Is there someplace we can go? I’ve been feeling heavy, Need to lighten up my load," suggest that the singer is looking for solace and a safe space to share their burdens. They are searching for someone trustworthy who can offer them comfort and understanding during a difficult time.


The following lines, "Gotta keep on rolling, But I’m picking up the dust, Head is getting foggy, And the hinges all have rust," suggest that despite the need to keep moving forward, the singer is feeling overwhelmed and worn down. They may be experiencing mental exhaustion or feeling stuck in some aspect of their life. The imagery of dust, fog, and rusty hinges adds to the sense of stagnation and the need for a change or renewal.


The repeating refrain of "Don't let go of me" signifies the singer's plea for support and reassurance. By repeating this line, the singer emphasizes their vulnerability and their need for someone to stay by their side through difficult times. The addition of the line "Dip me in the water, Wash away my fear, I’ve been driving reckless, Need someone else to steer" suggests that the singer is willing to let go of control and allow someone else to guide them. They are seeking a cleansing and a release from their fears, as well as someone who can help them navigate their life's journey.


The reference to communicating with "spirits on the radio" and being "all around the world" adds elements of mystery and adventure to the lyrics. It suggests that the singer has been seeking guidance or connection, perhaps even feeling lost or disconnected from reality. These lines further convey the need for support and a sense of grounding, as the singer has been on a journey seeking answers but may not have found them yet.


Overall, "Don't Let Go" portrays a longing for emotional support, understanding, and guidance. The lyrics tap into the universal human experience of seeking comfort during difficult times and the desire to have someone who will be by your side, not letting go.

Love this band and the song and the lyrics!!...  
Can you keep a secret?
Is there some place we could go?
I've been feeling heavy
Need to lighten up my load
I gotta keep on rollin'
But I'm pickin' up the dust
My head is gettin' foggy
My hinges all have rust
Can you keep the faith now?
Don't let go of me
Don't let go of me
Don't let go, don't let go of me
Tip me in the water
Wash away my fear
I've been driving reckless
Need someone else to steer
I've been goin' straight down
Don't let go of me
Don't let go of me
Don't let go, don't let go of me
Don't let go of me
Don't let go of me
Don't let go, don't let go of me
I've been talking to some
Spirit on the radio
From satellites in space
Beaming from above us and below
I've been all around the world
I've been all around the world

Molly is one of those special artists that I have a special place in my heart. Her music, voice, has such the powerful soothing effect on me that I instantly feel better inside after having to deal with all my daily travails, stress, failed relationships, you name it. You are an angel, Ms. Molly, my angel. So you keep doing what you're doing. (I play this song around 10-15 times a day, the live ones more so than the studio one).
