Albatross, as in Samuel Coleridge's famous poem 'Rime of Ancient Mariner', is usually used as a symbol of reminder one's sins. I think the song's about the fact everyone of us has an albatross around our necks. There's always something that we regret, something that we'd wanna' change if we had a chance. The song says to "Shoot it down" and "Let it go.." symbolizing the fact that it's time we let it go. It's time we forget the past, shed our regrets and look for the future, shoot the albatross....
Just an interpretation...
