Let's Go
Ministry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let�?�¢??s go to the edge of disaster
Push the pedal and go a little faster
Let�?�¢??s slam into a wall at ramming speed
Let�?�¢??s go to the edge of a mountain
Jump off and lets start countin�?�¢??
Hit the ground and tell me if it bleeds

Let�?�¢??s go insane
Let�?�¢??s go insane

Let�?�¢??s go to the edge of reality
Let�?�¢??s go for total insanity
Let�?�¢??s go for a government based on greed
Let�?�¢??s go for the final attack
Let�?�¢??s go for a war in Iraq
Let�?�¢??s go for starting up World War III

Let�?�¢??s go insane
Let�?�¢??s go insane
Make my reservation

Let�?�¢??s go for the ultimate crime
Let�?�¢??s go for the end of time
Let�?�¢??s go for an ethnic killing spree
Let�?�¢??s go for the final battle
Let�?�¢??s slaughter them all like cattle
Let�?�¢??s go to our graves in victory

Let�?�¢??s go insane
Let�?�¢??s go insane

Let�?�¢??s go!.....insane

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Let's Go" by Ministry are an appeal for complete and utter chaos. The song is a call to abandon all reason, to abandon any higher ideals or morals, and to embrace a culture of violence, destruction, and hellbent aggression. The singer's invitation to "go to the edge of disaster" is an encouragement to seek out the limits of what is possible and surpass them, to push the envelope of human experience to the very brink of destruction. The call to "slam into a wall at ramming speed" is a metaphor for the desire to crash and burn, to destroy oneself in an all-consuming fire of chaos.


The song's call for "total insanity" and "an ethnic killing spree" reveals a deep cynicism about the moral underpinnings of contemporary society. The desire for "a government based on greed" and the willingness to "go for a war in Iraq" suggest a political critique of the neoconservative push for war and hegemony in the Middle East. The song's final refrain, "Let's go!...insane", is a call to action for like-minded individuals to embrace the same spirit of chaos and nihilism, and to work together to bring about the end of the world as we know it.
