To Let You Win
A · Minor Earth Major Sky [2000]
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn't strong enough
... To let you win
I knew the fight but I didn't know the cost
And how to stop the weheels when they're in spin
I thought you couldn't love a man who'd lost
No, I wasn't strong enough
... To let you win
It used to scare me to wake up wondering
If I'd forgotten what I was fighting for
You said that you were weak and I was strong
Well, I wasn't strong enough
... To let you win.
To Let You Win
A's 1990s electronic recording 'To Let You Win' appears on the album Minor Earth Major Sky [2000], though its thematic roots likely extend to the artist's earlier work such as How Ace Are Buildings. Situated within the electro-industrial genre, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of mechanical rhythms and atmospheric textures. The song reflects a period where A explored darker, more introspective sonic landscapes, moving away from the upbeat synth-pop of their early catalog toward a more complex, mood-driven approach. As part of the broader electro-industrial movement of the 1990s, the recording contributes to the genre's legacy of using industrial sounds to convey emotional intensity and psychological depth.
