LET GO

Sam Rivera's song 'LET GO' delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to reconcile one's true self with external pressures and expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person walking through the night, feeling cold and devoid of emotions, symbolizing a state of inner conflict and disconnection. This struggle is further emphasized by the lines 'Feels like I spend my whole life / Tryna be someone / Who I'm not inside,' highlighting the pressure to conform to an identity that doesn't align with one's true self.

The song's chorus, 'I gotta let go, it's causing pain inside / It's all that I know, yeah, I'm losing my mind,' serves as a powerful declaration of the need to release these burdens. The repetition of 'I gotta let go' underscores the urgency and difficulty of this decision. Rivera acknowledges the internal battle between holding on to harmful patterns and the desire for a healthier, more authentic life. The metaphor of playing with fire and lying about being fine illustrates the dangerous consequences of ignoring one's true feelings and the facade that often accompanies such denial.

Throughout the song, Rivera grapples with the idea of surrendering control and seeking support, as seen in the lines 'God, I fight out this pressure / 'Cause it's pushin' me further / I let go if you say so.' This plea for divine intervention or guidance reflects a deep sense of vulnerability and the recognition that some battles cannot be fought alone. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and the possibility of finding peace by letting go of what no longer serves us, even if it means facing the unknown.
