Let Me Go

I'm not sure what this is about. However... recent events shape it like this:

It's told from the perspective of a boy/guy.

The golden glow are his tears (you know those halo's you get when you cry a lot?) Which he's crying because his girlfriend or significant other or whatever left him without saying so.

I believe the next part says "bow of my soul", which i think is intending to mean "as in reverence, submission, salutation, recognition, or acknowledgment." or moreso "to yield; submit". Memories, can you show me the one that has a hold over me? can you show me the one I love back home? And in this case, the answer is no because all he remembers is the leaving

he kills himself

You can get me ready for my funeral. Get me ready to lead the procession of all the people I 'thought' I knew

But he really did know them, and they him, and he really did love people back home. And even though he's now dead, he realizes how incredibly young he was

You try to forget the death, but just can't, because it isn't something you just forget. It's always there.

And he wanted to believe that she would try. And lastly, and finally, and repeatedly, set me free "let me go"....

Correct lyrics:

This golden glow Is not happiness It's the dust that you Kicked on my face before Saying goodbye Oh memory Won't you speak to me Can you show me the Boat in my soul that can Sail me back home

Let me go

You can shave me down You can clean my teeth Get me ready to meet all The people that I thought I knew But my memory has Mistaken me

Can't remember the last Time I felt so Incredibly young

So let me go

And I try to leave But my bones Just won't agree And I try to believe You should try Set me free

Let me go

First of all, this song has such a sweet melody to it. It has a healing effect, so lush and eloquent. The lyrics deal with a youth in conflict with what sounds like authority or even religion. "I try to leave/ but my bones just won't agree". I get the sense of the singer feeling too old in their shoes maybe dealing with this emotional dilemma or unwanted accountability: "get me ready to meet all the people I thought I knew/...memory has mistaken me/...can't remember the last time I felt so incredibly young." RealIzing the situation; they just want to be let go, to get the weight of the world off their back, find their well being or "home", and be set free. Amazing amazing amazing song.

I think it has something to do with going back home after you've grown and been away for a long time. No matter what it's about, the first time she sings "So let me go" is absolutely haunting. I'm in love.

I guess this song is about death...

You can shave me down You can clean my teeth Get me ready to meet all The people that I thought I knew

seems to get ready for a funeral.
