Let go Meaning & Lyrics (Yoyo)
The song describes a moment of transformation, where the narrator says, ‘My love for you is a melody I hum to myself.’ Yoyo uses simple yet powerful words to show how love can change even the hardest truths.
Yoru no sukima ni sasayaku kazeThe wind whispers through the cracks of the night.
Yurameite tooku kieteiku deep insideIt flickers and fades away into the distance, deep inside.
Moonlight watashi o terasuThe moonlight shines down on me.
Reeru no ue aruku you na days and nightsThe days and nights feel like I’m just walking on rails.
Dareka no seikai tada nazotte iruI’m only tracing someone else’s idea of what’s right.
Itsuwari no mainichi ni iyake ga sashite wa shizunde ikuI’m sick of these fake days as I slowly sink away.
Mujun bakari no kanjouMy emotions are nothing but contradictions.
Kizukeba mou modorenakuteBefore I knew it, I couldn’t turn back anymore.
My love for you kuchizusamu merodiiMy love for you is a melody I hum to myself.
Kokoro wa shoujo no mama deMy heart stays just like a young girl’s.
I’ll never let go shinjisasete miteI’ll never let go, so please let me believe.
Tsumasaki made anata o kanjisashiteLet me feel your presence down to my very toes.
Kakusenai omoi ga koi ni kawatte tomaranaiThese feelings I can’t hide are turning into love, and they won’t stop.
Baby the way you got me feelingBaby, the way you’ve got me feeling.
Mikunareta keshiki chigatte miete itaThis familiar scenery had started to look different.
Kimi ga hohoenda dake na no ni don’t know whyJust because you smiled, and I don’t know why,
Kokoro ga sawaide ikubut my heart starts racing.
Disupurei no naka ni utsutta hibi waThe days reflected inside the display,
Doko ka karimono mitai defelt like they belonged to someone else.
Aitai toka itai toka kazaru itsuwari ai de kakushite itaI was hiding behind a decorated, fake love, saying things like “I miss you” or “It hurts.”
Tozashite ita kokoro moEven my heart that I’d kept locked away,
Kimi no nukumori de hodokete tomerarenaiis unravelling from your warmth, and I can’t stop it.
My love to you atsuku naru hodo niThe more intense my love for you gets,
Itsuwari sae tokete iku noeven the lies start to melt away.
I gotta let go kizukanai furi jaI’ve got to let go, because pretending not to notice,
Gomakasenai hodo ni somatte ku my heartcan’t hide how much my heart is being stained.
Me ga samete mo zutto yume no naka ni iru mitaiEven when I’m awake, it feels like I’m still in a dream.
Kimi ni deatte hajimete watashi o ikite iru ki ga shita noAfter meeting you, I felt like I was truly living my own life for the first time.
I wanna love myself ari no mama de iiI want to love myself, just as I am.
Itsuwari wa mou tebanashiteI’m letting go of the lies now.
My love for you kuchizusamu merodiiMy love for you is a melody I hum to myself.
Kokoro wa shoujo no mama deMy heart stays just like a young girl’s.
I’ll never let go shinjisasete miteI’ll never let go, so please let me believe.
Tsumasaki made anata o kanjisashiteLet me feel your presence down to my very toes.
Kakusenai omoi ga koi ni kawatte tomaranaiThese feelings I can’t hide are turning into love, and they won’t stop.
Baby the way you got me feelingBaby, the way you’ve got me feeling.
Kazaranai kokoro de hajimete ai o shitta noWith an unadorned heart, I finally learned what love is.
