Let It Go Lyrics

[Intro]
One two
From a...

[Verse 1]
I'm from a little city with expensive taste
Where the cars don't run till the engine breaks

Wasn't spending pennies on massive things
But invested in mess with this recipe
Couldn't quite see what the future held
And as days went by, it would tell itself
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more


[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go


[Verse 2]
Shouldn't try to fix it if it keeps getting better
Just let it go, forget it for ever and ever and ever

Don't ever resent a letter inside a single word written
A little change can pave lanes with the right vision
Couldn't tell what would happen next
But as weeks went by, look what turned to best
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more

[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go


[Bridge]
If what they said was all pretend, then it'd be different
If it depended on if anyone was listening
And I was listening

And when they said that what I wanted was a figment
I had to turn the other cheek, but I was listening
Yeah I was listening, listening to all


[Chorus]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go

[Outro]
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening, listening at all
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
Oh, I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening, listening at all
At all, at all

Genius Annotation

“Let It Go,” is about faking your emotions, faking a smile to hide what’s beneath the surface. You’re surrounded by all these expensive things in life. People would spend their money on expensive things while you would rather spend it on a recipe to find/make the right decisions. Furthermore making everything worse, but you don’t do anything to solve your problems, letting it struggle more and more.

In the daytime, everything is perfect in your life from what others can see. You have all the right answers, always so happy and joyful, acting like you have nothing to worry about at all. But behind those walls at nighttime, everything is broken in your life. You know nothing about right answers, only how to make things beyond repairable for yourself.

The overall vibe of this song is doubtlessly a dark and harsh storm. The vibe however has a sense of empowerment, a chance to make yourself become something so amazing, allowing your emotions to be positive. But that is melted away by the hurting of the devastation inside.
