Help Let Me Go
Danny Gonzalez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴He was just a dolphin
Swimming in the sea
With his dolphin friends
Happy as can be

Until one day he went
And ventured onto land
And he got bitten by

A radioactive man

Now he's Dolphin Man
Half dolphin, half man
Hear him screech at night
'Cause he just wants a friend

He'll be quite a fright (Jesus Christ)
If you run into him
In the dark abandoned house where he lives
Oh

You know he may come off strong
But he's not what he seems
If he ever catches you
You can bet that you'll scream

Like
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Let me go tonight"

You'll scream
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Stop kidnapping me"

She was just a lady
Not a care in the world
'Til she saw some grown men
Kidnapping a girl

She said
"Help, let me go"
So she sprung into action
Then she looked right at a necklace
And became Scarlett Johansson

Then she kicked all their asses
Varli, savior of the masses
Don't know where that necklace came from
"Love more, hate less", that's the message

Dolphin Man saw her on TV
And gave her a call
They formed the best crime-fighting team in the world
Oh

Then they saved the president
From an alien race
It was all over the news
He was screaming in space

Like
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Let me go tonight"

He said
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Stop kidnapping me"

"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"
"Let me go tonight"

He said
"Help, let me go"
"Help, let me go"

"Help, let me go"
"Stop kidnapping me"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Danny Gonzalez's song "Help Let Me Go" tell a story of a dolphin, who after being bitten by a radioactive man, becomes half-dolphin and half-man. He becomes lonely and desires a friend, but his appearance scares people away. The dolphin man also lives in a dark, abandoned house which adds to the eerie vibe of the song. The listener is warned to beware of him if they run into him in the dark.

The second story introduced in the song is of a girl who witnesses a kidnap attempt and springs into action. Miraculously, she transforms into Scarlett Johansson upon looking at a necklace. She then goes on to defeat the kidnappers and becomes the hero named Varli, who promotes the message of "love more, hate less." The song then takes a dramatic turn when Dolphin Man and Varli join forces to save the President from an alien race.

The theme of transformation and the search for companionship runs through the song, with both Dolphin Man and Varli looking for friends. The song can be interpreted as a fun, imaginative story or a clever social comment on belonging and being accepted.
