Let Me Go
Nickelback ft.Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember, the pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not that you meant to me
Thought we were meant to be
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I let it go, and now I know
A brand new life, down this road
Where it's right, you always know
So this time, I won't let go
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late
I've broken free from these memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes, lend you this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
The song "Let Me Go" by Nickelback, featuring Avril Lavigne, is about letting go of a past love and moving on to a better life. The first verse talks about how love, which used to hold a significant meaning, has lost its importance and is now meaningless. The echoes of the love that once existed are now gone, but the pain and memories still linger on, particularly the pain that was felt in December. The persona then addresses their past love, saying that there is nothing left to say or do because it is too late to fix things.
The second verse addresses the past love's attempt to reconnect with the persona, only to find out that they are now gone. The place where the persona used to be is now empty, leaving a hole in their past love's life, just as they left a hole in the persona's life when they parted ways. The persona recognizes that their past love didn't mean to hurt them, but they also acknowledge their belief that they were meant to be together. However, they ultimately conclude that it is too late to try to reconcile things.
The chorus is a declaration of the persona's decision to let go of the memories and pain of the past and move on to a new life. They say goodbye to the past and set it all on fire, symbolizing their willingness to burn bridges and not look back. The persona is confident that they will find a better life down a new road as they embrace the present moment and refuse to hold on to the past.

But now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember
The pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go

Gotta let it go, just let it go
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty
Like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to me
I thought we were meant to be
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry is too late
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

A brand new life (is down this road)
And when it's right (you always know)
So this time (I won't let go)
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late
I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Oh, Oh
Oh (don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go)
Won't let you go
Don't let me go
