Let Go Lyrics

Hey you
Look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
While you try to control me
But you don't own me

How come you just wanna hurt me
How come you just wanna push me

I can't ignore you anymore
‘Cause everywhere I turn you

You burn me, you break me
You always wanna take me
Down with you
What do you want from me

I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna run away
I don’t wanna be here fading
It's more than I can take
I’m never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don’t wanna be here fading
Just let go
(Look what you do to me)
Let go
(Look what you do to me)

Hey you
Look what you do to me
You hurt and you scar me
With all that you tell me
But I’m not listening

You love me
You hate me
You always want to take me
Down with you
What do you want from me

(I won’t stay)
I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna run away
I don’t wanna be here fading
It's more than I can take
I’m never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don’t wanna be here fading
Just let

You keep pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me

You can’t have me anymore
You can’t have me anymore
You can’t have me anymore
You can’t have me
Let go

I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna run away
I don’t wanna be here fading
It's more than I can take

to me this song is directed not so much towards anyone else...but the person inside, that voice that tells us everythign we do is wrong, i beleive this song is takn from the christian view of separating from ourselves, because often all we do is hurt ourselves, in the same way, this song could be directed to the world as a whole, who beat down christians simply for beleiving and stating what they beleive, but really i'm not sure, it could be both or none of these things, that's for you to decide the lines "you love me you hate me" make me think more of an inward battle simple because that little thing inside of us that tells us we're wrong always says it knows best silently, by telling us it cares, and at the same time it hates us, then when it moves on and says "you can't have me anymore" it feels like a personal revelation that it can't controll you, that it's just a feeling and it couldnt exist without you, and in that way it can't have me anymore, i have gone through many personal struggles so this may just be my own feeling of the song, btu as always this is simply my oppinion, try and form yor own and jsut use mine as a guideline if anything at all

Thatguy517 omg this is exactly what I take from the song too. I've had a lot of inward battles too. So like u said it could just be us that thinks this. Lol but great thought and awesome song. I love RED soooo much!

This song is talking about Satan. Christians are constantly targeted by the devil with temptation. I believe he is going through a phase where the devil is just after him hardcore and throwing things at him that are hurting or ruining his life. He's affraid but he doesn't want to be. "Let Go" is a cry for Christ to finally relieve him of his spiritual battle with satan, he wants to finally be free of these trials he's going through so he is begging God.

Many Christians go through this phase. Especially when you are a new or struggling Christian, satan targets the weak, trying to stop the progression of the faith before it is solid. If you persevere through this part of your relationship with Christ, your foundation is stronger than it probably ever will be.

@sevenrowsback..I think you’re spot on!

This song is about Demon like Wishing brought up. The ultimate Demon the Devil. Red is a Christian band so from that its a lot easier to understand the whole song. I Love this song. It holds a lot of weight for me and a lot of Christians in this world.

Fo-sho. This song is about excercising the demon that is satan in a figurative sense that consume our lives. great band

Also---this whole CD seems to be a cry of desperation, calling out to Christ. I like how he keeps the theme going for the most part of the CD.

ok although red is a christian band it does not have to be directed in that way i do not believe it has anything to do with god or satan i believe its about battling your inner demons and the fact that u cant control what youve become and its ruined everything you had and you just want to be yourself again not that bad part of you

battling inner demons does have to do with god. If you're eaten up inside you're of no use to him.

I can see what you're talking about, but the problem is that those inner demons are caused by Satan, and I get the feeling that he is talking to a specific person or being. In this case, that person is Satan because he recognizes Satan as the source of those demons.

Cover art for Let Go lyrics by Red

A battle between ones true self and ones ego, ones power of God within and ones always needy false-self, and ones goodness and the temptation of the devil

My Interpretation

@Lyteheart..spot on!

This is an awesome song. Doesn't matter which way you slice it the message is this: There are things in life that try to control us and try to break us down (addictions, sicknesses, etc). We have to tell these things to release their grip on us, fight them and then make them leave us alone.

The "LET GO" screams give me a sense of confidence when I am in a good mood and a sense of please take it all away when I am down. Red already outdid themselves when they made this song.

Always will be an epic song to me.

This is clearly about a relashionship.... " You bruise me" " YOU hate me" YOU always wanna take me down"

LET GO!!!!! in other words... BREAK up...

Cover art for Let Go lyrics by Red

I agree with most of you...to me this song is about the battle between good and evil. A war with your inner demons and temptation.
