Let Me In
[14 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has the darkness finally taken over?
I look inside for answers I have to find
Living through everyday is my only bind
Can't find a reason for living - there's nothing keeping me in
Just want to stop all the giving - Just want to give it all in
All the help, all the laughter, no more left in me
Does anybody know me, anybody care?
Anyone who'll miss me when I'm not there?
Are people really friends or one big act?
I want to die but want to see how they'll react
Can't find a reason to fight - there's nothing keeping me here
Used every inch of my might - I've cried my very last tear
All the love, all the trust, the happiest I could be
All the help, all the laughter, no more left in me
All the hate, all the anger, all I ever see
All the love, all the trust, there's no more left in me
Who the hell am I, who's the real me?
I can't see an end to this misery
No one can help me, I'm broke beyond repair
Forever drowning in this pit of despair
Must find a reason to die - and end the pain right now
Given up questioning why - there's nothing stopping me now
All the love, all the trust, the happiest I could be
All the help, all the laughter, no more left in me
All the hate, all the anger, all I ever see
All my life, all the living, all drained out of me
All the reasons, all the tears, no one could ever see
Oh to die, oh to die, there's no more left in me
In the first stanza of the song "Let Me In" by 14, the lyrics delve into a deep exploration of the internal struggles and doubts that the singer is facing. The opening lines, "Who's inside my head, is it really me? Has the darkness finally taken over?" express a sense of confusion and inner turmoil. The singer questions their own identity and whether they are being consumed by negativity and darkness. There is a sense of introspection as they search within themselves for answers, highlighting the constant battle they face each day just to keep going.
As the song progresses, the feelings of hopelessness and despair become more pronounced. The refrain "Can't find a reason for living - there's nothing keeping me in" illustrates a profound sense of emptiness and a desire to give up on everything. The singer expresses a longing for an end to the struggles they are facing, wanting to stop the constant giving without receiving anything in return. The repetition of these sentiments underscores the depth of the singer's despair and the feeling of being utterly alone in their pain.
The lyrics then shift to questioning the authenticity of relationships and connections in the singer's life. The lines "Does anybody know me, anybody care? Anyone who'll miss me when I'm not there?" reveal a sense of isolation and a fear of not being truly understood or valued by those around them. There is a poignant contemplation on the nature of friendships and whether the support and love they have received are genuine or merely superficial. The internal conflict between a desire to end the pain and the curiosity about how others will react adds a layer of complexity to the singer's emotional state.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics intensify as the singer grapples with the overwhelming weight of their suffering. The verses "Must find a reason to die - and end the pain right now / Given up questioning why - there's nothing stopping me now" convey a sense of resignation and a bleak acceptance of their circumstances. The repeated references to the depletion of love, trust, laughter, and life from within the singer further emphasize the sense of emotional and spiritual exhaustion. The final plea to be released from the agony encapsulates the profound despair and longing for an end to the torment that pervades the entire song.
