Let Me Know
Crawdads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance so close, all around me is my home
Oh-oh
I won't go, until your hands back in my own. Oh oh
Spin and glow, your the roof that makes my home
Let me know, before my hand slams in my door, my do-or
Your shining fears, dropped to your knees, filled up with beers, tears
Pull me along, with the hope that we're on the run, we'll ru-un
Your broken hair, sit in my arms and we'll watch you stare, we'll stare
I've said enough, but it won't change that you like the fun, fu-un
The Crawdad's song "Let Me Know" is a passionate plea from the singer to their lover to give them clarity about the state of their relationship. The singer wants to know where they stand and where their relationship is headed. The repetitive chorus, "Let me know, where I stand and where I go oh-oh," emphasizes this sentiment. The singer doesn't want to leave the dance where they are "dancing so close" to their lover until they have their hands back in their own.
The verse that follows the chorus seems to be addressing some conflict or misunderstanding between the singer and their lover. The singer acknowledges that their lover has "shining fears," but also seems to suggest that their lover has been drinking a lot ("filled up with beers, tears"). Despite their lover's doubts or fears, the singer wants to be "pulled along" with the hope that they are on the run together. The verse also includes some striking imagery, such as the idea of a "stolen hand" and the singer's lover's "broken hair."
Overall, "Let Me Know" seems to capture the intense emotions and confusion that can come with being in a complicated romantic relationship. The singer wants clarity and wants to be drawn closer to their lover, but also recognizes that there may be some obstacles in the way of that.
