"Let it sing/let it die"-
Could be saying let it run its course and let it be afterwards. Or on the other hand, after it happens, sing about it for closure. The rest of the song implies the former explanation, though.
I like this song a lot, but I'd have to disagree. John Lennon's confessions about his childhood (his "primal scream" days) were theraputic not only for him but for me as the listener. Other people's pain isn't always about economic growth, it could be personal growth. It may help other people feel not so alone in a world where a lot of people get distraught over the littlest things and don't know what pain is.
I suppose it all comes down to where you draw the line of confessions...your moral standards and such. I don't think revealing too much will destroy someone's dignity, because problems are often solved and allievated after they are put down on paper and scrutinized. That's just my opinion.
Still, one of my favorite Harvey Danger songs. Well written and powerfuly voiced.
