Let You Go
Unbreakable Chains of Heart: Lucky Bamba's 'Let You Go' Meaning
Lyrics
It’s been a while since our ways have parted
Expresses the passage of time since the speaker and the other person went their separate ways.
I really thought that my heart had mended
Reflects the speaker's belief that their heart had healed from the previous separation.
But then again your voice comes crushing
Describes the emotional impact of hearing the other person's voice again, causing intense feelings.
And then again my world starts turning
Conveys the rekindling of emotions and the speaker's world being influenced by the other person's presence.
Your eyes can take me to that place I used to know
Highlights the power of the other person's eyes to evoke memories of a past place.
Your love is my sentence, your love is my drug
Equates the other person's love to both a sentence and a drug, suggesting its controlling and addictive nature.
I know I should be strong but my heart won’t let you go,
Acknowledges the inner struggle to move on despite the emotional attachment.
But my heart won’t let you go, but my heart won’t let you go oh oh
Reiterates the internal conflict of the speaker's heart refusing to let go.
It’s been a while since the flowers of our love turned grey
Illustrates the prolonged period since the love between the speaker and the other person lost its vibrancy.
And the blue skies got covered in rain
Depicts a metaphorical transformation in the atmosphere, correlating with the fading love.
But when you want you are the perfect hunter
Attributes predatory qualities to the other person when they desire something.
And in this game I’m your perfect victim
Positions the speaker as a willing target in the metaphorical game of love.
Your eyes can take me to that place I used to know
Recalls the evocative power of the other person's eyes and the nostalgic place they remind the speaker of.
Your love is my sentence, your love is my drug
Restates the addictive and confining nature of the other person's love.
I know I should be strong but my heart won’t let you go,
Reiterates the internal struggle to let go despite the awareness of its necessity.
But my heart won’t let you go, but my heart won’t let you go oh oh
Emphasizes the persistence of the emotional conflict, symbolized by the refusal of the heart to release the attachment.
I know I should be strong but my heart won’t let you go,
Repeats the acknowledgment of the inner struggle and the heart's resistance to moving on.
But my heart won’t let you go, but my heart won’t let You
Reemphasizes the tenacious grip of the heart, extending the refusal to let go to both the speaker and the other person.
I know I should be strong but my heart won’t let you go,
Echoes the persistent inner conflict, portraying the speaker's emotional inability to release the other person.
Heart won’t let you go, and I won’t let you go
Concludes with a strong declaration that the speaker's heart will not let go, and the speaker will not allow the other person to go.
