Cage The Elephant - Ready To Let Go Lyrics






Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
On both sides the vow was broken
Oh my my, I'm the one
Tryin' to hide this damage done
One day, all our secrets will be spoken

As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything
Like we were never close

Don't you worry baby
No sense tryin' to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go no
Was I foolin' myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go

Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
On holy ground our vows were broken
We met up we broke bread
I was blue, your dress was red, ain't it strange?
We both knew this day was comin'

As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything
Like we were never close

Don't you worry baby
No sense tryin' to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go no
Was I foolin' myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go

Don't you worry baby
No sense tryin' to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go no
Was I foolin' myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go

    [Verse 1]
    Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
    On both sides, a vow was broken
    Oh my, my, I'm the one
    Trying to hide this damage done
    One day, all our secrets will be spoken

    [Pre-Chorus]
    As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
    Times I wonder are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
    Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
    Like we were never close

    [Chorus]
    Don’t you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
    I'ma strike these matches, never had control
    I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
    I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
    I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go

    [Verse 2]
    Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
    On holy ground, our vows were broken
    We met up, we broke bread
    I was blue, your dress was red
    Ain't it strange?
    We both knew this day was coming

    [Pre-Chorus]
    As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
    Times I wonder are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
    Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
    Like we were never close

    [Chorus]
    Don't you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
    I'ma strike these matches, never had control
    I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
    I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
    I’m ready, I'm ready, I’m ready to let go

    [Chorus]
    Don't you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
    I'ma strike these matches, never had control
    I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
    I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
    I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go...

  35. r.... ....

    "matt doesn't do drugs anymore"

  36. F.... C....

    Anyone else think that melophobia, tell me I’m pretty and social cause is like the arc of Matt and Juliette’s relationship. Like some of the songs make more sense like that’s right.

  37. R.... D....

    I have been a fan of Cage the Elephant since they first broke out. Since then my musical tastes have shifted towards lesser known music, but Cage music has remained relevant to me. This band’s style has really matured over the years.

  38. R.... A....

    tamarrado

  39. O.... D....

    I hope Cage the Elephant band knows I am always here listening to this, and if my phone is charging, I turn on the stereo and there you are again doing my at most favorite beat and lyrics and melody. You rocked my world!

  40. M.... ....

    I love this fucking song

  41. �.... �....

    So underrated band :(

  42. r.... v....

    thanks instagram spotify ad!

  43. N.... 6....

    I swear Cage the Elephant music videos are just someone's first drug trip

    N.... 6....

    No, that's MGMT

  44. k.... ....

    🇧🇷🎶 impecável

  45. A.... B....

    Great song but the video is kind of creepy to my opinion.

  46. A.... F....

    Anyone else feel like the bridge at 2:28 could be extended? Like I’m not criticising I’m just saying it wouldn’t have hurt to extend a little further as it’s such a beautiful moment in the song.

  47. p.... ....

    Is this the visual representation of CHEATING ? IT is kek

  48. C.... C....

    Why the fuck are these guys going to be at #420fest they arent part of the scene at all

  49. j.... m....

    I heard this song at an airport twice and I looked up the lyrics and found this band which is now my favorite band

  50. l.... b....

    Meatloaf figures

  51. O.... D....

  57. C.... ....

    Mick Jagger much????

  58. M.... ....

    Algo tetrico, pero Matt dice que el rojo es por la navidad (espero que si XD)

  59. S.... G....

    Turning into Mick Jagger?? That's a fucking joke!!😂😂😂

  60. R.... G....

    What kind of artistry equates killing a dog? Weird, cringy video.

    R.... G....

    I think it's more of the sacrificial aspect of it. Art is subjective to interpretation. Just because one doesn't understand, doesn't make it any less art than something well known.

  61. R.... X....

    BRASIL curte ae

  62. t.... �....

    I’m going to almost acoustic Christmas today what should I wear. It’s my second concert

  63. a.... a....

    so if you ever wonder how to make a video that makes you feel disgusted, intrigued, aroused, uncomfortable and curious at the same time ... this is the perfect sample.

  64. T.... W....

    If you guys enjoy this, you should definitely check this out...

    https://youtu.be/lZdvOeYXvQU

  65. J.... S....

    this is sick, i mean totally cruel an spoiled. In fact this is satanic. We need righteous, straight and adult artists/musicians. This has nothing to do with a role model for young/people in generell. Do music that is creative and good and not cruel and ruined. This is disgusting sorry!

    J.... S....

    Bitch, not everyone believes in god and "satanic" things. Get your idiotic ass out and let people enjoy what they want. The thing I disagree with most is probably the "straight" part, let people love who they want and forget about gender. It's people like you that need to keep to themselves and think about the real "satanic" thing here(you). This comment is disgusting sorry!

  66. B.... S....

    Ok Peter Gabriel... you've met your match in Video weirdness.

  67. N.... V....

    "how weird of a music video do you want to do?"
    Cage the Elephant: "yes"

  68. S.... Z....

    10 years later and they still sound the same. I love it

  69. R.... M....

    Alguien de, somos la ola?

  70. A.... K....

    Hey Marilyn! They attempting to steal your vibe...

  71. C.... ....

    Somewhere down, somewhere down over Pompeii I let you get your pretty face in my way. Almost safe, your beauty became an escape..a cape I thought we both could fly away with. Enveloped by the ash, I learned too fast, you made me your fool..and I was on the edge but trying so hard not to chase you...just then the lust of our urges caught us..then the dust of volcanoes brought us into the dusk. From this we would never wake up...but " don't you worry baby"...

  72. M.... W....

    Hey , I'm 60 years old and I am so into alternative rock music it's not funny. I love a band like I love a lot of bands like Broken bells, Young the giant, the Killers and many more. It's all good to me. I was raised by musicians and have it in my soul. It's all good if you give it a chance.

  73. S.... ....

    I'm in love with another band

  74. M.... B....

    The lead singer is slowly turning into Mick Jagger

  75. s.... ....

    What the LITERAL fuck.

  76. L.... V....

    This is so scary.

  77. u.... ....

    Wow this song grew alot! I remember only being 125k views

  78. H.... s....

    Soy el unico que los conoció por borderlands? :V

  79. L.... M....

    My favorite song of 2019.

  80. J.... B....

    I’d prefer this. Not to have a music video but still a good song

  81. F.... R....

    Producers: How weird you want the video to be?
    Cage the Elephant: Yes.

  82. E.... _....

    "WE ARE THE WAVE"

  83. -.... C....

    I am very high watching this and the best way I can describe it is beautifully sadistic

  84. A.... B....

    0:28 Is that Nat from 3OH!3??

  85. m.... ....

    Wir sind die Welle❤

  86. W.... Z....

    This is so 2013

  87. B.... X....

    Yo!!! I'm Shooketh!

  88. s.... m....

    Pura Mala Vibra Por Todos Lados Muestra
    El Video.

  89. M.... T....

  90. m.... h....

    Kids , do not do acid .
