Let Me In
Bareda aka Mr. Wrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a vegetable on the bathroom floor
Amphibious creatures come and go
You're the type to hide it within
It's been far to long since I've seen the dawn
I'm devoid of light and I'm devoid of song
The walls we paint with our misery
Light the night unfurl
In this dangerous world
For the chemical boys
And the chemical girls
Let me go, let me go
(Let me go, let me go)
You're a dangerous toy for a chemical boy
Let me go, let me go
(There's just no way to slow)
This dangerous world for the chemical girls
Your action's secondary
To your pointless commentary
No matter what
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
Wear your crown, your planetary halo
Go put on your face, go put on your show
Transmit your degraded audio
Paint the town red, orange and yellow
Go and see the worlds, the moons, the seas
Unhinge your bones with your skeleton keys
Close your eyes so no one else can see
A part of you in your secrecy
Light the night unfurl in this dangerous world
For the chemical boys
And the skeleton girls
Let me go, let me go
(Let me go, let me go)
You're a dangerous toy for a chemical boy
Let me go, let me go
(There's just no way to slow)
This dangerous world for the chemical girls
Your pride has left me aching
(Left me aching)
From a soulless undertaking
(More hearts are breaking)
No matter what
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
No matter what
I'm the king of the world inside
No matter what
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world inside
I'm the king of the world
The first verse of "Let Me In" creates a vivid image of the singer being overwhelmed by the sights and sounds around them. The lines "Light and sound is making me dizzy/ Like a vegetable on the bathroom floor" suggests that the singer is feeling disoriented and perhaps even incapacitated. The following line, "Amphibious creatures come and go" adds to the surreal nature of the scene, as if the singer is experiencing a hallucination or dream-like state. The second verse reveals that the singer is feeling trapped and isolated, as if they are hiding from the outside world. The lines "Fold the blinds so no one else can see/ The walls we paint with our misery" suggest that the singer is dealing with personal struggles and trying to keep them hidden. The chorus "Let me go, let me go/ You're a dangerous toy for a chemical boy" implies that the singer is trying to break free from an unhealthy relationship or situation, and that the other person is like a drug that they need to escape from.
The third verse adds another layer to the complexity of the song by referencing the idea of broadcasting. The lines "Wear your crown, your planetary halo/ Go put on your face, go put on your show/ Transmit your degraded audio" suggest that the other person may be projecting a false image of themselves, perhaps for the purpose of gaining attention or validation. The fourth verse continues with the theme of exploring new worlds and experiences, but with a sense of danger or recklessness. The lines "Unhinge your bones with your skeleton keys/ Close your eyes so no one else can see" suggest a willingness to take risks and push boundaries, but with a sense of secrecy and paranoia. The repetition of "I'm the king of the world inside" throughout the song suggests a sense of inner strength and resilience, even in the face of external challenges.

Fold the blinds so no one else can see
I want to keep my struggles hidden from others

Close your eyes so no one else can see
Sometimes we need to keep our struggles and pain to ourselves
A part of you in your secrecy
Keeping some aspects of yourself private can be a way to protect yourself
The walls we paint with our misery
We can become trapped in our own pain and suffering
Your pride has left me aching (Left me aching)
Your arrogance and unwillingness to understand my struggles is causing me pain
From a soulless undertaking (More hearts are breaking)
Your lack of empathy and understanding is hurting others as well
I'm the king of the world inside
I am the only one who truly understands my inner world and struggles
