Let Me In
Greta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will not let this pass me by
Even when the sky cracks open and pours its sorrows down on us
I'll wade my way to you, through rivulets and ruts
As the rain runs down our teenage skin, so thin the water covers us in cuts
But we will share a cigarette
And forget about the stinging, singing songs of our regrets and our wet feet
And we will find our song complete
And let it go, and like the snow

We will melt into the sea

And I will get to say fuck you to the people
Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end
Let me tie myself in knots
And I will let you keep me company
On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close
And stare into fading sky
I will not let this pass me by

I think tonight was made for us
We will walk down past the coffee shops
The bus stops and the buildings turned to rust
To the rooftop, or the river, or the sea
We will walk between the raindrops
Where the city keeps its conscience and its keys
And we will let ourselves be swallowed by the light
And I will raise you indie music to your Eliot and Wright
And I will hold you in my left hand, reach my right to all I see
For I've become so many things I swore I'd never be

And I will get to say fuck you to the people
Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end
Let me tie myself in knots
And I will let you keep me company
On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close

And stare into fading sky
I will not let this pass me by

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Greta expresses her determination to not let the moments of life pass her by, regardless of the difficulties that may arise. She starts by acknowledging that even when faced with challenges, symbolized by the metaphor of the sky cracking open and pouring sorrows down on them, she will still make her way towards her goal. The rain on their teenage skin, a metaphor for vulnerability, may cause them cuts, but they will find solace in each other by sharing a cigarette and forgetting about their regrets. The rain also represents the passing of time, and like the snow melting into the sea, they will let go and allow themselves to merge and become part of something greater.

Additionally, Greta expresses her desire to defy those who have betrayed her, saying "fuck you" to the people who she once considered friends but ultimately left her feeling lonely. She offers to tie herself in knots, metaphorically suggesting that she is willing to go through hardships as long as she has someone, presumably her partner, to keep her company. Their presence is important as they bring comfort and support, especially during sticky summer evenings, when the air is heavy and oppressive. Together, they find solace in each other's arms, holding on tightly and gazing into the fading sky while refusing to let opportunities slip away.

Greta feels that the present night is meant for them, and they venture through the city, passing by coffee shops, bus stops, and deteriorating buildings. They walk between raindrops, symbolizing their ability to find moments of joy amidst the chaos of life. They seek places where the city's conscience resides, places that hold the keys to their personal growth and understanding. Greta plans to celebrate the night by offering her partner indie music, connecting it to the literary works of T.S. Eliot and Richard Wright, suggesting that their time together is a fusion of cultural influences and personal connections. She emphasizes that she will hold her partner in her left hand and reach out to all she sees with her right, implying a desire for balance between personal relationships and the world around her. Finally, she reflects on how she has evolved as a person, embodying traits and experiences she once swore she would never have.

In summary, "Let Me In" is a song that highlights Greta's determination to live in the present, not allowing the challenges and betrayals she has faced to hinder her. She embraces her vulnerability and seeks solace in a deep connection with her partner. Together, they navigate through life and find beauty in the small moments, defying the expectations of those who have hurt them. Greta embraces her personal growth and seeks to find harmony between her individual experience and the world around her.

I will not let this pass me by
I refuse to let this opportunity slip away and be forgotten

Even when the sky cracks open and pours its sorrows down on us
Even in the face of hardships and emotional turmoil

I'll wade my way to you, through rivulets and ruts
I will overcome obstacles and challenges to be with you

As the rain runs down our teenage skin, so thin the water covers us in cuts
Even though we may feel vulnerable and hurt, we won't let it stop us

But we will share a cigarette
In moments of intimacy and connection, we will find solace

And forget about the stinging, singing songs of our regrets and our wet feet
We will escape the pain and regrets, focusing on the present moment

And we will find our song complete
Together, we will discover a sense of fulfillment and harmony

And let it go, and like the snow
We will release our worries and insecurities, just as melting snow disappears

We will melt into the sea
We will blend and merge with our surroundings, embracing life's flow

And I will get to say fuck you to the people
I will have the opportunity to express my anger and disappointment towards those who hurt me

Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end
Those individuals whom I believed would support me but ultimately abandoned me

Let me tie myself in knots
Allow me to navigate through complicated emotions and situations

And I will let you keep me company
I will gladly accept your presence and support

On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close
During warm summer nights, provide me stability, comfort, and closeness

And stare into fading sky
Together, we will gaze at the sky as it transitions from day to night

I think tonight was made for us
I strongly believe that this particular evening was destined for our connection

We will walk down past the coffee shops
We will stroll together, passing by quaint cafes

The bus stops and the buildings turned to rust
Observing aging infrastructure and public transportation stops

To the rooftop, or the river, or the sea
To various scenic locations, such as rooftops, rivers, or the ocean

We will walk between the raindrops
We will navigate through challenges and find a way to exist happily together

Where the city keeps its conscience and its keys
In the places where the city reveals its values and secrets

And we will let ourselves be swallowed by the light
We will surrender to and immerse ourselves in moments of brightness and positivity

And I will raise you indie music to your Eliot and Wright
I will introduce you to indie music as a tribute to your literary influences: T.S. Eliot and Richard Wright

And I will hold you in my left hand, reach my right to all I see
I will embrace and cherish you while also exploring everything the world has to offer

For I've become so many things I swore I'd never be
I have transformed into someone I never thought I would become
