Let me go
(Jagger/Richards) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm good for nothing, but to obey your commands
You never really love me, I know
So wind me up, let me go
I'm just your plaything 'til you see someone else A
nd then you'll leave me alone on the shelf
But even tin soldiers have hearts, don't you know
So wind me up, let me go
And teardrops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys So pick me up and hold me one more time
That's just consolation for this heart of mine
Whisper a sweet word to the one, who loves you so
Then wind me up, let me go
Then wind me up, let me go
Let me go
The lyrics of "Let Me Go" by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards explore the feeling of being toyed with in a relationship. The songwriter suggests that the singer is a "little tin soldier" in the hands of the person they love, and that they are good for nothing except obeying their commands. The singer is aware that they are not loved as they would like to be, so they ask their partner to "wind me up and let me go." This line can signify a desire to be released from the relationship or to feel free from the constraints of the partner's expectations.
The songwriter also explores the idea that even though they are just a toy to their partner, they have a heart and emotions that are affected by the relationship. The lines "even tin soldiers have hearts, don't you know" indicate that the singer feels that they are not seen as a living and breathing individual, but rather as an inanimate object. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation towards the situation, with the singer requesting their partner to "whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you so, then wind me up, let me go."
Overall, the lyrics of "Let Me Go" convey a sense of powerlessness and a desire for freedom in a relationship where one person holds all the control. The singer accepts their fate as a "little tin soldier" and asks for the release from it.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm just a little tin soldier in your hand
I'm powerless and under your control, like a toy soldier.
I'm good for nothing, but to obey your commands
I have no purpose but to do as you say, like a mechanical toy.
You never really love me, I know
I understand that you don't really love me, and I'm only here as a temporary amusement for you.
So wind me up, let me go
Just like winding up a toy, you can let me go when you're done playing with me.
I'm just your plaything 'til you see someone else
I know that I'm disposable and will be replaced as soon as you find someone or something better.
And then you'll leave me alone on the shelf
Once you're done with me, I'll be discarded and forgotten about.
But even tin soldiers have hearts, don't you know
Although I'm just a toy, I still have feelings and emotions.
So wind me up, let me go
Despite knowing that I'm just a toy, I still want to be set free.
You don't really need me, you've a hundred other toys
You have plenty of other options, and I'm not essential to your happiness or pleasure.
And teardrops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys
Crying doesn't suit a tough, brave image like that of a soldier.
So pick me up and hold me one more time
Give me one last moments of affection before you discard me.
That's just consolation for this heart of mine
Although brief, any attention or affection shown towards me is a balm to my hurt feelings.
Whisper a sweet word to the one, who loves you so
Acknowledge the person who truly cares for you, and not just the temporary toys like me.
Then wind me up, let me go
After you've had your fun, it's time to release me and move on.
Then wind me up, let me go
I'm ready to be set free and move on from being your plaything.
Let me go
I just want to be free from this cycle of being used and discarded.

"If I don't stop you I'll become an asshole like you" those words were so bitter, even after what his dad did he still cried for him, am really glad that Ben was there to comfort chopper I hope they have a happy ending.
The fact that Nueng didn't even think twice before signing the documents to save Palm's life that showed how much Palm is engraved in his heart and he is willing to risk it's all for him, It's really hurts seeing how Nueng was crying while shouting Palm's name Palm would rather die than see Nueng getting hurt and he proved that 🥺.

I can't believe it ends finally. No Neung, no Palm, no beautiful cinematography, no boss and bodyguard romance, no Never let me go, no PondPhuwin's chemistry in every Tuesday. Shit! It hits me so bad🥲
