"Humans May Safely Graze" was apparently over 4 years in the making. The quality and care taken is obvious, right down to the final mastering sheen applied at the famed Abbey Road Studio in London. (Yes, THAT Abbey Road.) Oh, sure, you'll find yourself feasting on the irresistible hooks on your first listen through this album, but you'll come back again and again for the emotional hook… secrets revealed and the truths identified. Indeed, it's not just a clever name: humans may safely graze.

Let Me In
Cosmicity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I dare not go alone
I need a hand to guide me
When I'm on my own
Memory like a dark cave
A place I can not hide
It really is frightening
The way I feel inside
Something about the way
You say things to me (Won't you)
Keep me in mind, you know what I'm thinking
Can't be without you, you know how I feel
No where to hide, you know what I'm thinking
I feel you inside, you know how I feel
I can not hide the way
I feel about you
There are no secrets
When it's between me and you
Take me where you're going
We just can't be apart
The feelings I have are stronger
Than just my bleeding heart
Take me to a place
Only you and I can go (Won't you)
The lyrics of "Let Me In" by Cosmicity express a deep need for companionship, both physical and emotional. The singer confesses to having been to dark and frightening places alone, and acknowledges that he needs someone to guide him through life. The use of the metaphor of a memory as a dark cave creates a sense of unease and danger, as the singer seems to be struggling to keep his emotions under control. The refrain of "keep me in mind, you know what I'm thinking" highlights the importance of being understood and accepted by the person he loves.
The second verse reinforces the idea that there are no secrets between the singer and his beloved. He is willing to follow her wherever she goes, and cannot bear to be apart from her. The lines "the feelings I have are stronger than just my bleeding heart" suggest a depth of emotion that goes beyond mere infatuation or physical attraction. The final request to "take me to a place only you and I can go" is a plea for intimacy and exclusive connection.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability and a need for love and acceptance. The honesty and intensity of the lyrics make it a poignant and memorable tribute to the power of human connection.
