To Let You Go David Kushner Lyrics

Okay, let's talk about David Kushner's "To Let You Go." We've all heard it. It's, like, *everywhere*, right?

The lyrics? Deep. Emotional. Supposedly.

An Unpopular Opinion About Letting Go

Here's my hot take: are we sure David Kushner actually knows what he's letting go of? I mean, the song’s a bop, no doubt.

But the lyrics...sometimes I'm nodding, sometimes I'm just confused. Is it a relationship? A bad habit? His sanity? I honestly don't know.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Probably.

Decoding the Kushner Code

Let's dive into some lines, shall we? "I keep your picture locked away." Okay, makes sense. Moving on.

"I visit there most every day." Wait, what? Locked away, but you visit *every* day? Sir, that sounds exhausting.

And maybe a little unhealthy, don't you think?

Is that letting go, or just obsessive tourism?

Then there's the whole "I'm breaking free, I'm soaring high!" bit. Awesome! Good for you! Go get 'em!

Except…five seconds later, he's back at that locked picture. Soaring, or stuck in a revolving door of feels?

The Relatability Factor (Or Lack Thereof)

Look, I get it. We all have stuff we struggle to let go of. Old socks. Terrible exes. The dream of winning the lottery.

But at least *I* know what those things are. I can label them. Categorize them.

Kushner's lyrics feel...abstract. Like a modern art painting that everyone pretends to understand.

Maybe that's the point. Maybe the vagueness is intentional.

Maybe he's trying to capture the universal feeling of being vaguely sad about something undefined. Art!

A Call to Action (Sort Of)

So, what's the takeaway here? Should we all stop listening to "To Let You Go?" Absolutely not!

It's catchy! It's emotional! It's perfect for crying in your car while eating ice cream!

But maybe, just maybe, we can acknowledge that the lyrics are a *tad* confusing. A *smidge* melodramatic.

And that's okay! Music doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable. It just needs to make us feel something.

Even if that feeling is mild bewilderment.

Perhaps next time I'm going to write my own song called "To Let You Go" with even more vague lyrics! Who's in?

I just know I will be locking something away that I visit everyday...

It may or may not be pizza.

And maybe that song about pizza will even be better than David Kushner's, I am just saying...

What do you think about all this?
