Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I was up in my head
For everything I've said
Caught a million words
They're all made with lead
I bought a megaphone
You used inside your home
Forgot the batteries
But that's the old me

Shouting out of my windows
Roll down
'Cause I don't care anymore
Said I don't care
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

I'm standing on the top
Of a parking lot
I gave it all I had
Show me what you've got
There's some things I've found
That make so much sound
All these words, I don't need 'em now

Shouting out of my windows
Roll down
'Cause I don't care anymore
Said I don't care
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh, say what you wanna say
And make it mean everything
Say what you wanna say
You'll make it mean everything
Oh, say what you wanna say
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go)

Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh, say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Say what you wanna say
You'll make it mean everything
Oh, say what you wanna say
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matt & Kim's song "Let's Go" express a sense of liberation and a break from the limitations that held the singer captive in the past. The first verse speaks to this feeling, as the singer has caught "a million words" that are all "made with lead," suggesting they were heavy and difficult to carry. The following line explains that the singer had attempted to use a megaphone, but forgot the batteries, which seems to be a metaphor for the singer attempting to be heard but not fully being able to communicate.

The chorus then expresses the singer's newfound freedom, shouting out of windows and not caring anymore. The second verse describes the singer being on top of a parking lot, having given it all they had, but now realizing that they don't need all of these words and that certain things make so much more sound.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the singer breaking free from their past limitations and realizing that they don't need all of the words and noise they used to use. The repetition of "let's go" and the emphasis placed on it throughout the song likely signifies the singer's desire to move forward and leave the past behind.

Line by Line Meaning

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Opening instrumental

I was up in my head
I was lost in thought

For everything I've said
For all the words I've spoken

Caught a million words
I've said a lot

They're all made with lead
Words that are heavy

I bought a megaphone
I got something to amplify my voice

You used inside your home
That you only ever used inside your home

Forgot the batteries
I didn't prepare

But that's the old me
That's how I used to be

Shouting out of my windows
Yelling out of my windows

Roll down
Lowering my car windows

'Cause I don't care anymore
Because I don't care what people think anymore

Said I don't care
Reaffirming that I don't care

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's move on

I'm standing on the top
I'm standing on top of something high

Of a parking lot
Of a place to park cars

I gave it all I had
I gave everything I had

Show me what you've got
Show me what you're capable of

There's some things I've found
There are things that I have discovered

That make so much sound
That are very loud

All these words, I don't need 'em now
I don't need to use a lot of words anymore

Say what you wanna say
Speak your mind

Make it mean everything
Make it count

Oh, say what you wanna say
Say what's on your mind

And make it mean everything
And make it count

Say what you wanna say
Speak your mind

You'll make it mean everything
It will count

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's move on

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Chorus instrumental

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go)
Chorus instrumental

Say what you wanna say
Speak your mind

Make it mean everything
Make it count

Oh, say what you wanna say
Say what's on your mind

You'll make it mean everything
It will count

Oh, say what you wanna say
Say what's on your mind

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's move on

For the past 6 months it took me a long time to figure out this song. I work at a grocery store and just kept playing a lot. All I kept hearing was oooo o oooo oo ooo which my head was going to explode because I heard of it before. I talked to all of my friends and nothing. Finally today I found it.

Don’t you hate it when you don’t remember the lyric and finally found it after a very long time.

I'm amazed I was able to find this song after the fact.. only remembering the ooh ooh oohs. /
