LYRICS
Faith alone
Can’t get me where I need to go
‘Cause I should know
That you don’t wanna get better
When we collide
The worst and darkest parts of me
Come back to life
They weigh me down now I’m tethered
I’ll take your fall and lose it all
You write the narrative
‘Cause you won’t see reality
For what it really is
Suffocate and compensate
’Til I’m empty in the end
And you still take
When I got nothing left
But all I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Now all that I could ask for is for you to f ck ng let me be
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me why we cant just let this be?
Faith alone
Holds all the strings that dangle me
Now I don’t know
What dances in my mirror
As time moves on
I say you’re gone but it feels the same
It’s ink that shows
Your toxicity in my veins
I’ll take the fall and lose it all
For what I’ll never know
And you can’t find the nerve to wish me well
The memories and promises
Were they all just for show?
Your photographs they show somebody else
How much further underwater can I sink?
I’ll never know
Now I can barely to hold on
What I need is strength to let go
Take all you want
‘Cause I’m devoid of anything
You don’t contain no empathy
I’m starved for anything
That makes me feel alive
Drain me of every memory

HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THE NEW TRACK! Pre-save the 3rd original album NOW - ffm.to/toletgo
-
I personally like his non fandom tracks like this, we get to hear him on full display as himself, not behind the lense of another character, and it feels so raw
-
I like how this song has a couple parts where it seems like a verse or chorus repetition is gonna be in a soft/saddened/pensive tone, but it immediately goes back to power singing.
-
This song is like a punch to the face (emotionally speaking). That feeling of wanting someone's approval so bad, of pushing yourself beyond your limits just to impress them, only to get nothing in return, and how you need to push yourself even harder to cut them from your life. I might be trying to relate it to stuff in my personal life too hard, but that's what I took away from it anyway
-
I'm gonna stream the hell outta this song when it comes out. Gonna be on repeat for at least a few hours.
-
Don't think I haven't noticed those callbacks! Great stuff! I am so happy to be here for a few original album! "You don't contain no empathy" - Callback to Take Me Anywhere "A thousand whitened smiles, but none contain no empathy" "You can't find the nerve to wish me well" - Callback to Manipulate "Maybe you could find the strength, to smile and wish me well" "I'll take the fall and lose it all" - Callback to We Are Ignited "Don't look before you take the fall Who knows when you could lose it all"
-
As Nate said once in his instagram, to let it go is about a attempt to forget past traumas and such, this year i started to suffer with anxiety and depression due to something to me (make me remember some past traumas) and this song is a good way to help me
-
So much emotion. Incredible vocal delivery. I love how he hits that distortion on the end of the word "be" at the end of the chorus!
-
Unfortunately I'm JUST going to miss the premiere, because I'm "only human" and need to do things like "sleep", but the first thing I do when I wake up is going to be blast this as loud as I can, because I already know it's going to be a certified banger. Can't wait. EDIT: I was right.
-
The vocals are so raw with emotion. I just KNOW this whole album is gonna hit different.
-
I'm here to honor Nate's last original album (for now I believe) and it's titular song, as well as his music in general, after his retirement was annouced today. Thank you Nate for all of the wonderful tunes over the past decade. It was a good battle while it lasted.🎵🎶
-
What an amazing song! I'm so excited for this album, I've been hoping for a new original album for years.
-
The line “Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go” has literally been getting me through these past weeks. The full album releases on Monday and I literally CANNOT WAIT. Nate, you’re incredible. Always appreciate what you do, man.
-
NGL, the fandom songs are great and all but this? THIS is what I'm here for! Can't wait to hear the full album!
-
I seriously didn't expect him to drop this today! I was literally counting down the days until the 24th. This song sounds so unbelievably amazing! Please keep up the good work Nate and always remember that you have an amazing community that has and will continue to support you always!!! Keep on rockin!
-
This is honestly the best song you have written nate. As a huge music nerd and a big fan I honestly say this song hit all the points and passed with flying colors. Thank you Nate for helping me make such amazing memories with your amazing music! Love you!!
-
Now that's a good surprise.
-
HIS BELTING IS SHIVERING I LOVE IT If this was live at a concert, I'D BE IN THE FRONT ROW.
-
I’m so excited!!! We missed you Nate!!! 💖
-
this honestly feels so much more inspired than his fandom songs, this makes me excited to hear his future albums
