James Bay: Let It Go Meaning
Song Released: 2014
Let It Go Lyrics
Seeing shirts in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in...

#1 top rated interpretation:I think its that both people know its not working anymore and they need to let it go and move on but don't want to, they want to be together and for it to work but deep deep down they know it wont ever work like that.

I think it’s saying let the unimportant little battles go and give your partner a break instead of being petty all the time
In the big scheme of things, it’s better not to be a nit picker or nag or to always need to have the last word
We will all be dead some day so don’t sweat the small stuff -
To me, this song Is about a relationship that is not working but they still want to love each other but they both know that it isnt working but they know it would kill them to separate
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
My interpretation of this song is that he wanted the toxic relationship to end before the love for each other kills them... Deadly desires
-
I'm not going to offer my interpretation I am living this exact reality right now.
There is literally no better fitting song on Earth at the moment for me.
Word for word verse for verse meaning for meaning even all of your interpretations are spot on.
Oh what the hell I suppose my interpretation is it hurts like hell letting someone you still love go and they still love you but knowing that all of your attempts have failed all paths lead to the same dead end.
I find myself still having hope down the road while knowing I have to make this move even if it doesn't mean for now but forever.
I miss the moments time would inexplicably stop when I looked at her.(I mean that literally!!!)
We tried and failed for the last year the first four-six months were something we've never experienced ABSOLUTE BLISS
A year-and-a-half ended with holding each other about an hour ago.
This song came on the radio the moment I started the car to drive her home. -
This was mine and my cats relationship, all loved up nerbous touching as we got to know each other (getting used to the house) and after a while, claws and biting...literally. ebb and flow the relationship like all changes evolves slash disappears or metamorphoses into something else. Literally biting, throwing litter across floor, figurative slamming doors with each other, watching evening shows (tele together...)...

My interpretation is that at the beginning everything was great. Doing what normal couples do. Watching movies, staying up late and talking about dreams, being nervous around each other etc. The delusion he is talking about I think is the delusion of what was. How they were before is not how it is now and it’s only holding them back. The reality is the fighting and constant belittling. They aren’t who they could be with each other, that’s why he says you be you and I’ll be me. They are so unhappy that they can’t recognize who they even are anymore. Trying to keep things going isn’t working, but it’s hard to let go when you really care about someone. Trying to fit your hand inside mine but it just doesn’t feel right, trying to push the relationship up hill but it’s just too heavy to hold. This song represents that he knows its hard and they have been trying to fit together even though it won’t work. Something has to change, they need to let it go.

I think this song is about breaking up, but james want a new relationship with her.
-
I think this song is about accepting the things that we cannot change and try to move on coz we think its the only way, but deep down it kills us inside
-
I think this song is honestly the most powerful song in the world!! It can relate to so many things if you just listen!! I’m going through a rough time with someone I truly love

I️ think this song shows how broken the two ppl are with each other and yet he is still broken without her but he knows it’s right to let her go. Like someone else said leave the broken pieces where they are and carry on because they are two different ppl when they are together and aren’t good for each other
-
I think it means it is hard to get over someone when u still love them but then don't love u no longer
-
I feel this song is the best break up song in thee world this song reminds of some I use to love her name is Aliyah and I love but I realized if I want the best for I have to let her go and that's the hardest part when love someone but you stay strong and do it for her - Chris
