Time to Let It Go - Kheops One feat. Ailyn Mondragon

Time to Let It Go by Kheops One feat. Ailyn Mondragon

Time to Let It Go is an emotional rock song by Kheops One featuring Ailyn Mondragon on vocals, released on September 15, 2023. Written by Kheops One founder Goran Vedriš in 2010, the song addresses people who have experienced emotional pain, disappointment and difficult periods in their lives.

Its message is both compassionate and determined. Pain can feel endless. People may feel abandoned, misunderstood or trapped by experiences they cannot change. But the song encourages them to recognise their own strength and begin moving forward. At the centre of its message is a simple idea: Sometimes healing begins when we find the courage to let go. The recording later appeared on Kheops One's second studio album, A Second Chance, released in February 2025.

The Story Behind "Time to Let It Go"

The origins of “Time to Let It Go” go back to 2010, when Goran Vedriš first wrote the song. It would take thirteen years before the composition received its official release. In the original 2023 release announcement, Goran described the song as a personal and heartfelt tribute to the classic rock music that had influenced him.

The announcement specifically named Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and Whitesnake. These bands represent different sides of the classic rock and heavy rock tradition, from powerful guitar-driven arrangements to emotional melodies. But the song's subject is deeply personal.

Goran intended it for people who have been emotionally wounded and who struggle to move beyond difficult experiences. The lyrics acknowledge loneliness, broken trust and the feeling that life has become an endless burden. Yet the song does not remain in that darkness. It encourages listeners to recognise that their past does not have to control their future. After years between its original composition and release, Time to Let It Go finally became part of the Kheops One catalogue in September 2023.

Lyrics of "Time to Let It Go"

If you see no end of pain
When it seems all was in vain
If you feel like there is nothing left
In the dark you hide and wait
Then you take another chance
Cause you've learned from old mistakes
Why you feel like there is no one there
Just the sound of empty space

Too late for all just let it go
The pain must go just let it go
It's hard I know but let it go
The life goes on just let it go
It's time to let it go

Left alone to wear the burden
No one offering a hand
You safely hide behind your pride
But no one's there to understand
When the pieces of your heart
End up shattered from the blow
You take it all with your head held high
Cause it's time to let it go

Just another broken soul
Trapped inside the cage of time
Until you find a way to take control
And leave it all behind
Someone runs the biggest show
Don't you want to know
Who's your friend and who's your foe
Now is time to let it go

When the problems of tomorrow
Come knocking on the door
You will need someone to follow
Who has seen it all before
With the ticking of the hour
Troubles seem to grow
But now you know you have the power
The power to let go

If you see no end of pain
When it seems all was in vain
Why you feel like there is no one there
Just the sound of empty space

Too late for all just let it go
The pain must go just let it go
It's hard I know but let it go
The life goes on just let it go
