Release Your Problems

Chet Faker's 'Release Your Problems' is a soulful exploration of the struggles and burdens that weigh us down, urging listeners to find solace in letting go.

The opening lines, 'Won't you take it all on own / You feeding something make me start to see in the night,' suggest a plea for assistance in dealing with overwhelming issues that cloud one's vision and judgment.

The recurring refrain, 'Lone with mind, won't take my / Eyes to see the break in your way / Release your problems,' emphasizes the importance of mental clarity and the liberation that comes from addressing and releasing one's troubles. This repetition serves as a mantra, reinforcing the idea that acknowledging and confronting problems is the first step towards healing.
