Let Me In
Avi Zee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
take me home now
I can't forget any words that you've said
but they're gone now
Trying my best to keep up with your pace
but you're too fast
Trying my best to get off of this fence
for I won't last
Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time
I'm just a speckle of dust
in this gigantic world now
And I'm going only where the wind will take me
bring me down now
And my smiles turn to tears
and I'm facing my fears
can't you see me
trying my best to reach out for your hand
you won't let me in
and I've done what I can
you keep changing your plans
do you need me
Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time
so let me in
let me in
let me in
let me in
let me….
The lyrics to Avi Zee's song "Let Me In" depict a longing for connection and acceptance in a relationship that seems to continuously elude the singer. The opening lines, "Bring me a lily and one loaf of bread, take me home now," suggest a desire for simple pleasures and the feeling of being welcomed and wanted. However, the next line, "I can't forget any words that you've said, but they're gone now," implies that the singer has been hurt or neglected by their partner, and despite their attempts to remember and hold on to those words, they have disappeared.
The following lines reflect the singer's struggle to keep up with their partner's pace, emphasized by the metaphor of being on a fence that they can't stay on for long. This implies that the relationship is moving too quickly for them to fully grasp or adapt to. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, a suggestion that maybe things can be better this time, a plea to strive for improvement.
The second verse portrays the singer's feelings of insignificance in a vast world, comparing themselves to a speckle of dust. They express a willingness to be carried by the wind, indicating a willingness to go wherever the circumstances take them. However, their smiles turn to tears as they confront their fears and anxieties. The plea to be seen and understood is strongly voiced in the line, "trying my best to reach out for your hand, you won't let me in." The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and frustration as the singer feels ignored and rejected, despite their efforts to make things work and support their partner. The repetition of "let me in" in the final lines serves as a final plea for acceptance and understanding.
