Let Go
Aaron Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby girl, walk around like it's made of gold, yeah
It's all mine
Oh, yeah
I could take off the handcuffs just to crawl back
I can come right back
You turnin' the tables
Trying to talk and you say you're not able, girl
But I am not angry, girl
I know that this is your world
Me, I just live in it, access is limited
But I need to go home
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you, let me let you go
Let me let you go
But quickly
I know you have something that you could give me
And you know
I lose control so let's move slow
You turnin' the tables
When you dance on the table
Trying to talk and you say you're not able, girl
But I am not angry, girl
I know that this is your world
Me, I just live in it, access is limited
But I need to go home
Let me
Let me
I need to go home
Let me
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you, let me let you go
Let me let you go
Go!
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you, let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you go
Let me let you—
Go, go, go, go
The lyrics to Aaron Carter's song Let Go tell a story of a man who is in love with a woman who seems to be in control of the relationship. She walks around "like it's made of gold" and he acknowledges that "this is her world" and he just lives in it with limited access. However, he acknowledges that there is something about her that he can't resist and he loses control when he's around her. He recognizes that he needs to let her go and even though it's hard for him, it's the right thing to do.
Throughout the song, Aaron Carter repeats the line "Let me let you go" as if to convince himself that he needs to move on. The woman he loves is turning the tables and dancing on the table which signifies her dominance in the relationship. He's trying to talk to her but she tells him she's not able, which further demonstrates her control. At one point he says "I could take off the handcuffs just to crawl back" which shows that he feels stuck in the relationship and can't seem to break free.
The chorus of the song is very repetitive but it emphasizes the need to let go of someone that's not good for you. The song ends with a final "Go!" which solidifies the idea that he needs to move on.

Oh, yeah
Acknowledging the situation
Baby girl, walk around like it's made of gold, yeah
You walk with confidence and pride
It's all mine
You belong to me
I could take off the handcuffs just to crawl back
I could give you all the freedom, but you'd still come back to me
I can come right back
I will be here when you come back
You turnin' the tables
You are changing the power dynamic
When you dance on the table
Your actions are rebellious
Trying to talk and you say you're not able, girl
You are avoiding conversation
But I am not angry, girl
I'm not upset with you
I know that this is your world
I understand your perspective
Me, I just live in it, access is limited
I know my place in your life
But I need to go home
I need to move on
Let me let you go
I want to release you
But quickly
Before we get too involved
I know you have something that you could give me
I know you have something to offer
And you know
You understand our dynamic
I lose control so let's move slow
I can't handle the intensity, let's take things slower
Go!
A call to action, to end things quickly

I met him while he was on tour for Another Earthquake and got a huge bear hug and kiss, so cute. He was such a nice kid, too. He seems very open and honest and that's one thing i've always noticed and liked about him. Hope all the best for him :)
