David Anthony Lyrics
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
In David Anthony's song Let Me In, the singer is reaching out to someone they care deeply about and asking for a chance to connect with them emotionally. The lyrics are about trying to break down walls that the other person has put up and get them to open up and let their love in. The opening lines suggest that the person is guarded and resistant, but the singer can't help but be drawn to them, even though it's difficult.
The chorus repeats the plea of "let me in," and the verses go on to explain why the singer is so frustrated and confused about the other person's reluctance. They express their feelings of confusion and uncertainty, wondering how long they will be left waiting and how much time will pass before they finally connect. The lyrics use metaphors, such as "sending mixed signals and keeping me in confusion," to convey the emotional barriers between the two characters.
The song captures the complex emotions and dynamics of a relationship that is struggling to gain traction. The lyrics are raw and heartfelt, reflecting the common experience of trying to break through someone's walls and get them to trust you.
