Meaning
This points to release as a form of strength, not surrender. The line suggests that moving on becomes possible once a person stops holding tightly to what has already ended, and that there is relief in letting grief lose its grip. It lands after a breakup, a family conflict, or any ending that keeps replaying in the mind.
