Let Me In Lyrics

Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter
Promises are sweet
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up

Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in

I only wish that I could hear you whisper down
Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try

Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in, let me in

I had a mind to try to stop you
Let me in, let me in
And I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin

Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in

What is the Meaning of Let Me In?

Ever felt the longing to reach out and connect with someone just out of reach? This powerful track explores the deep emotions of loss, yearning, and the desperate need for connection. The imagery of stars and promises paints a picture of fleeting moments and missed opportunities, while the repeated plea "Hey, let me in" echoes the heartache of wanting to be heard and understood. The verses suggest a struggle with personal challenges and feelings of isolation, embodied by visions of tar-covered feet and mocking birds. Ultimately, it’s a haunting reflection on the human desire for closeness and the pain of separation.
