Don't Let Go
The Warriors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreams to remember
A night so far away
It's time that we listened
to the broken hearts and this love we lay

Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let you go
Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go
Can I be the one to let go

Breathe through the lesson
And don't hold on to fate
This night reach forgiveness
Or else decide to fall away from love

Oh baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let you go
Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Somehow Some way somehow some way
Can I be the one to let go

Should we let go
Can I somehow some way
Can you help me baby
Can I be the one to let go
Can I be the one to let go
Can you help me baby




Can I be the one to let go
Can I be the one to let go

Overall Meaning

The Warriors' song "Don't Let Go" appears to be about a relationship that isn't working out, and the two partners are trying to decide whether or not to end it. The singer is asking for help in making this decision, wondering if they should let go of the relationship or hold on and try to work things out. The chorus repeats the phrase "Can I be the one to let go?" multiple times, as the singer struggles with the decision to stay or go.


The lyrics also mention "broken hearts" and "forgiveness," indicating that there may have been some past hurt or betrayal in the relationship. The repeated plea for help in letting go suggests that the singer isn't certain about how to move forward, potentially indicating a reluctance to let go of the relationship despite its problems.


Overall, "Don't Let Go" presents a raw and emotionally honest exploration of the difficulties of ending a relationship, and the inner turmoil that can come with letting go of someone you once cared for deeply.

I thought it was pretty juvenile and if someone were to use this tactic to try and scare me,I would laugh at them.
Not Brilliant






Lame,especially with the clanging glass bottles,this is brilliance to you?
If it were a comedy spoof then it would be brilliant but that's not what they were going after here.

Even out of context this scene is amazing.
You feel the threat of the antagonist, the position they in and the bravery of the protagonists.
Dope scene, dope movie, dope game.

I remember hearing they were gonna scrap this scene because the Director Walter and Writers could not figure out what to do. It was originally them doing a staredown but felt it was too bland.

They were rushed on set and were low on money around the end. Until David brainstormed an idea and gathered midget bottles on the shore. They were confused and he went on set with them on his fingers, and did this scene in one go. They were holding back laughter on set but tried to keep serious. Walter thought this scene was genius and kept it in.

David thought of the idea because when he was a kid, he had Bullies who would knock on his window and yell "DAVID, COME OUT TO PLAY-YAY!"

I wouldn't say all that, but of you think that by all means

@Big Bay you don’t have to….I already did .
I do think that, that’s why I wrote it.
