let me in
Cathleen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been corrupted from the inside out.
I left behind the person that I once was.
I've grown cold from the lies that have tortured me.
Nothing can bring me back.

I've been drained away,
Left with nothing only despair.
I've been drained away,
Compelled to see what was never there.

So I let you in.
I should've known, I should've known.
So I close my eyes.
I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind.

I've been tainted by the constant thoughts.
I've lost sight from the person that I once was.
I've grown numb to the agony that I felt.
There's nothing left inside.

Do you know what it's like to be locked in the dark?
Trap inside with nowhere to hide?
To have your soul ripped apart, so tell me,
do you know how it's like?

So I let you in.
I should've known, I should've known.
So I close my eyes.
I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind.
Blinded by the illusion, now I can see I was far to gone 'cause
I let you in
I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind.

The agony has just begun.
(The agony hast just begun)
I've been drained away, compelled to see what was never there.

So I let you in.
I should've known, I should've known.
So I close my eyes.
I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind.
Blinded by the illusion, now I can see I was far to gone 'cause




I let you in
I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cathleen's song "Let Me In" deal with themes of corruption, loss, and the struggle to regain oneself. The opening lines, "I've been corrupted from the inside out. I left behind the person that I once was," reveal a sense of internal decay, a loss of one's former sense of self. This feeling is compounded by the metaphor of being "drained away" and "compelled to see what was never there," suggesting a sense of being lost in a surreal or illusory world. The central conflict of the song is revealed in the chorus, with the admission that the singer "let you in", implying that their pain and suffering is the result of letting someone or something into their life that has caused them great harm. The repetition of "I should've known" suggests regret and a sense of responsibility for the decision to let this entity in, while the line "I'm drowning in time I've lost my mind" speaks to the overwhelming nature of this loss and the sense that the singer's life has been forever altered.


Overall, "Let Me In" is a deeply emotional song about the struggle to regain control of one's life after experiencing a traumatic event. The lyrics paint a stark picture of the singer's inner turmoil, while also exploring themes of regret, grief, and the difficulty of letting go of past pain.
