about

When I think about this song, the imagery that comes to mind is of a teenage boy running through broken down streets at full speed. He pushes people out of the way, runs out in front of traffic, across parkland and down onto suburban train tracks.

Letting Go is really a very simple song about adolescent anger, frustration and confusion. It’s about that heightened moment when all the emotions bubble up and become impossible to control.

lyrics

I stepped out onto the road ‘cause I felt like dying
Nothing left but the fire in my tracks
Knew you had resolve I could only wish for
Wish for the courage I lack

And we go on
And blind our eyes
‘Cause I felt like letting go
I felt like losing hope so got busy dying

So don’t give me songs about God or country
Or about the violence I attract
I thought you might have evolved through more than these things
These things that are burning up my back

And we go on
And blind our eyes
‘Cause I felt like letting go
I felt like losing hope so got busy fighting

And we go on
And blind our eyes
