Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more you try to resist the more I keep wanting that
You got that ADT on your heart you keepin stoppin' before we start
Givin' me the run around, feelin' like I'm on a track
How long you're gonna keep me knockin at your door, how long
How long you're gonna keep on treatin' me like I'm the one
That hurt you before
How long before you let me in your soul
Let me in, won't you let me in,
Let me in, let me in
Tell me when you gonna, let me
Let me in, let me in.
Seems there's always a mountain to climb,
Seems like I'm always telling myself it's gonna take a little more time,
Sending mixed signals and it's keeping me in confusion,
Please don't keep making excuses,
How long you're gonna just let time sleeping away, how long
How long you're gonna keep our* future from being the day
How long you're gonna let our flight keep getting delayed, how long
How long you're gonna keep us from having it made,what do you say?
Let me in, let me in,
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in.
See it on my face, I can't even hide it baby
What is gonna take for you to make your mind up girl
Should I walk away and my wastin' time baby
I don't wanna wait* forever.
Won't you let me in, won't you let me in?
let me in, I've got to have you baby
My wastin' time baby, don't you let me in
Don't you see it in my face baby
Let me in, tell em how long
Just want to love you
Let me in, won't you let me in
David Anthony's Let Love In is a song about a person who has been trying to break through the walls of someone who seems to have been hurt before and has been keeping a distance from love. The first verse tells about the person's difficulty in winning the other's heart. The lines 'You got that ADT on your heart you keepin stoppin' before we start, Givin' me the run around, feelin' like I'm on a track' describe the barriers the person has put up, making it challenging for the other to get close. The chorus repeatedly asks the question 'how long', signifying the other person's hesitancy to open up to love. The person is confused by mixed signals and the excuses that they have been giving, and feels that time is slipping away. The song pleads for the other person to finally let love in and stop wasting time.
Anthony's Let Love In beautifully captures the struggle between two individuals and their internal barriers to love. It highlights the challenge of trying to break through someone's walls and the frustration that can come with it. It shows the importance of communication when it comes to love, and how important it is to be vulnerable and open in order to make a connection. The song is a gentle reminder that love is a two-way street and both parties need to be willing to take risks and allow themselves to be loved.
