Meaning Behind the Music

"Let You Go" by David Epps

Hey everyone, my name is David Epps; I am a college student majoring in Computer Science/Marketing, and I am also a singer/songwriter. This is the ending to my original song titled, "Let You Go".


The song I'll be breaking down in this article is a song I wrote about everyone, including myself, holding on to things that have been holding them back for too long, and prolonging their happiness. Whether the thing holding them back is a person, a job, an ideology, a lack of money, or really anything else is irrelevant, because it can be literally anything.

Excerpt from the song:

"You can't love me, I don't love me, no one loves me"

There comes a point in life when a realization occurs, and it's so clear that so many opportunities in life were missed, because of whatever it was that was holding them back. When a person isn't happy with their situation, how can they expect to, or how can anyone expect them to enhance anyone else's situation.

Excerpt from the song:

"You don't know me, no, not like I do, so... You can't love me, no.

I think I am right almost all the time, all you do is fight.

I make choices based on how I'm feeling, so..

I think I'm going to let you go"

This is the chorus and main idea of the song. When someone is unhappy, and they've been unhappy for years, then that's how everyone knows them, and it's normal. The only person that really knows they're unhappy is the actual person. When that person tries to make a change in order to be happy, others may criticize, fight with them, tell them they're doing the wrong thing, or even tell them they're crazy. But once that realization is found, and the person finally decides it's time to be happy, and lets go of the fear everyone has instilled in them, that person is unstoppable.

Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please share it!

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
