Let Me In
Foxes and Peppers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the way you always told me that they could
You get so sick of things so easily
The fact you lasted this longs pretty good
You say you're fine and that's alright
I've learned to love the little ways you lie
So it won't hurt so bad when you leave
At least then I'll expect it
I'll tell my heart accept it
When you fall out of love with me
All the promises of calling
Start to feel like if you wanted to you would
I get every message sent to me
I can read the room you're understood
You say you're fine, and that's alright
I've learned to love the little ways you lie
Let me know when you fall out of love with me
So it won't hurt so bad when you leave
At least then I'll expect it
I'll tell my heart accept it
When you fall out of love with me
(Fall out of love with me)
Let me know when you fall out of love with me
The song Let Me In by Foxes and Peppers deals with the painful subject of being in a relationship where one partner is slowly falling out of love with the other. The first verse paints a picture of a relationship in decline - all the dominoes have fallen, and the singer acknowledges that their partner is easily sick of things. Yet despite this, they've lasted a decent length of time. The second verse continues along the same vein, with the singer picking up on their partner's subtle signals and getting the sense that they might not be as invested in the relationship anymore.
The chorus reveals the singer's fears and desires. They want their partner to let them know when they've fallen out of love so that it won't hurt so much when they inevitably leave. The singer hopes that by being forewarned, they can prepare themselves emotionally and learn to accept the breakup. The repeated line "let me know when you fall out of love with me" is a plea for honesty and transparency from their partner.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the delicate balance of love and loss, and the fear of being blindsided by a breakup. It shows the pain of a relationship that is slowly coming apart at the seams, and the longing for some kind of closure or resolution.
