let me in
Forget Tomorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't do another day in this life
In this rut stuck in this nine to five
I never thought in a million years
This is how I'd spend my day to day
I can't sew another mile in these shoes
Living like I've got nothin' left to lose
But I now that I could prove myself if I had the chance
I have put my heart and my soul on the line
When will I catch a break
Sick of feeling like I'm wasting my time

When you give your all
And you work so hard
And you grind all day
When all you do just doesn't matter
And nothing seems to change
You say

I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
I'm bang bang banging down the door to try and change my life
I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
So let me in or I'm breaking in tonight

I never thought that this is how my life would be
I need to know if this is all that's left for me?
Need reassurance because I don't believe that
my life is over
This ain't it for me, fuck it
I want more

When you give your all
And you work so hard
And you grind all day
When all you do just doesn't matter
And nothing seems to change
You say

I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
I'm bang bang banging down the door to try and change my life
I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
So let me in or I'm breaking in tonight

This isn't it for me
This isn't it for me
And if you feel like I feel
Put a fist in the air and
Bounce

This ain't it for me
I'm not done yet
I'm not don't yet

When you do what you love
You won't work a day
It won't be like this forever
You don't have to live this way

I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
I'm bang bang banging down the door to try and change my life
I'm knock knock knocking on the door and I can't seem to find my way inside
So let me in or I'm breaking in tonight





Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in

Love the progression in this song, and really strong vocals (clean and unclean)! Absolutely filthy breakdown at 2:31

Haven't listened to them in a while. This is better than their older stuff. Impressive!

@mr420quickscops2

Clean vocalist has improved a heap since the older stuff, not that he was ever bad or anything. Screams are way better now too
