Let's Go
Hymans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song

Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

I let a song go out of my heart




Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Let's Go by Hymans are a lament on lost love and the emptiness that ensues when something deeply cherished is no longer present. The singer in the song longs for the return of the "sweet music" that was lost when their lover left. The metaphorical language of the song adds to the emotional intensity, emphasizing the idea that the missing presence was not just any person, but something as critical and inherent as a vital melody.


The opening line, "I let a song go out of my heart," is a potent and poignant image. This image suggests that the song that used to be inside the singer's heart disappeared, and with it, they also lost their capacity to feel joy, happiness, and purpose. The singer then goes on to say that this lost melody was the "sweetest" they ever experienced, implying that this lost love was a rare and beautiful occurrence.


The second stanza's lines, "Life doesn't mean a thing to me / Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong," shows a sense of deep regret and self-recrimination. The singer recognizes that they have made a mistake by pushing away the person they loved, and they hope that it's not too late to make amends. The song's final lines, "I won't know sweet music until you return someday" fully centers the song's message of regret and desire for reconciliation.
