Behind That Locked Door
George Harrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them for you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So let out your heart please, please
From behind that locked door
It's time we start smiling
What else should we do?
With only this short time
I'm gonna be here with you
And the tales you have taught me
From the things that you saw
Makes me want out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
And if ever my love goes
If I'm rich or I'm poor
Come and let out my heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
The lyrics to George Harrison's song Behind That Locked Door speaks to someone who is in pain and crying. The singer is telling this person that their pain and sadness is over and to forget their tears. The world is waiting for the love they have within them, but it is hidden behind locked doors. The singer asks them to open their heart and let the love out.
The song goes on to talk about spending time with this person and learning from them. The love teachings they have given the singer makes him want to hear more from them. The singer then turns the attention to himself, saying that if his love were ever to go away, this person should come and unlock his heart from behind that locked door.
One interpretation of the song is that it could be about Harrison's own struggle with feeling trapped and isolated, particularly during the time he was with The Beatles. The song suggests that we all have our locked doors that prevent us from fully experiencing the love and joy in the world. It is only when we open up that door and let out our heart that we can truly connect with others.
