Let Me In
Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time we talk, we lose, we're getting nowhere
Think about all that you feel
Think about all that you give
Think about all that we get
So let me in, we'll sort it out
But let me in, don't leave me out
So let me in
Every time we look at things it never seems to measure up
Every time we tore it down we lost so much
Think about all that I feel
Think about all that I give
Think about all that we get
So let me in, we'll sort it out
So let me in, I know your doubts
But let me in, don't leave me out
So let me in
So let me in, we'll sort it out
So let me in, I know your doubts
But let me in, don't leave me out
So let me in
The first verse of the song "Let Me In" by Beatsteaks highlights the frustration of the singer in a relationship where every attempt to communicate appears to be in vain. Despite discussing their disagreements or misunderstandings, they always end up where they began, with no conclusive or productive outcome. The singer seems to be at the point of giving up, acknowledging that every talk leads to a loss and a dead end.
The second part of the verse is a plea to the other person to introspect on their feelings, actions, and what they contribute to the relationship, asking them to focus on what they receive. The chorus's repetition of "let me in" reinforces the sense of exclusion and segregation that the singer's experience. The chorus suggests that if the other person allows them in, they can resolve their issues and doubts and move forward together.
The second verse continues the theme of discussing problems but never finding a satisfactory solution. The singer expresses their sense of loss at every attempt to take stock of the situation, leading to more harm than good. Once again, the chorus reiterates the plea to be let in, with the assurance that they can work together, understand each other's doubts, and provide solutions that will strengthen their relationship.
Overall, "Let Me In" talks about miscommunication, lack of trust, and emotional distance in a relationship. The song's theme relies on the symbols of exclusion, frustration, and loss, giving listeners insight into how relationships can break down when people refuse to listen and engage honestly.

Every time we talk, we lose, we're getting nowhere
Whenever we try to have a conversation, it feels like a competition where there can only be a winner and a loser, and we both end up losing.
Think about all that you feel
Reflect on your emotions and try to understand where you're coming from.
Think about all that you give
Consider all that you've put into this relationship and what you're willing to contribute to make it work.

Don't shut me out or push me away, let me be a part of your life and work through our struggles together.

Die ganze Zeit gehen wir durch, aber es kriegt uns nirgendwo
Die ganze Zeit reden wir, aber wir verliern und kriegen nichts mit
Denk nach über alles was du fühlst
Denk nach über alles was du gibst
Denk nach über alles was wir bekommen
Also lass mich rein, wir sortieren es aus
Also lass mich rein, ich kenne deine Zweifel
Aber lass mich rein und nicht draußen
Also lass mich rein
Die Ganze Zeit sehen wir Dinge, die sich nicht bemessen lassen
Die Ganze Zeit reißen wir Dinge nieder, doch wir verlieren so viel
Denk nach über alles was ich fühle
Denk nach über alles was ich gebe
Denk nach über alles was wir haben
Also lass mich rein, wir sortieren es aus
Also lass mich rein, ich kenne deine Zweifel
Aber lass mich rein und nicht draußen
Also lass mich rein
Also lass mich rein, wir sortieren es aus
Also lass mich rein, ich kenne deine Zweifel
Aber lass mich rein und nicht draußen
Also lass mich rein

Erinnert ihr euch noch daran als noch Rockmusik gemacht wurde und es teilweise sogar in die Charts kam?
Ich ging noch zur Schule als diese Musik herauskam und hab damals so dazu abgerockt und jetzt fast 20 Jahre später, ist es immer noch cool.
Man ich werd alt.
