let me in
Jay Ollero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want me to know you. But you're slow to reveal
Your dreams your secrets, and the way that you feel
But I can't read minds, I can't see through steel
We're wasting these moments, spinning our wheels

Im standing outside, you're running to hide
Im knocking as loud as I can
Won't you please let me in? If I promise, never to leave again

I'm running on empty, as days turn to years
You try to convince me baby, that your words are sincere
But I see it now. It's perfectly clear
Your holding back so much
Stricken by fear

Im standing outside, you're running to hide
I'm knocking as loud as I can

Won't you please let me in If I promise never to leave again

I promise you'll never be lonely
I'll be there to lighten your load
You need to let go of your worries
If you want me, if you want me
to carry on...

Won't you please let me in If I promise never to leave...

Won't you please let me in If I promise never to leave again

If I promise never to leave again





If I promise never to leave again

Overall Meaning

Jay Ollero's song Let Me In touches on the theme of emotional vulnerability in romantic relationships. The singer in the song is trying to connect with their partner who seems to be holding back and not fully opening up to them. The singer admits that they cannot read their partner's mind or see through their emotional barriers, but they are willing to listen and be there for them if they decide to let them in. The chorus repeats the plea for the partner to let them in and promises never to leave again.


The lyrics employ vivid imagery to convey the sense of separation and longing between the singer and their partner. The lines "I'm standing outside, you're running to hide" and "We're wasting these moments, spinning our wheels" suggest a sense of stagnation in the relationship and a frustration with the lack of progress. Additionally, the imagery of the singer knocking on a door and asking to be let in reinforces the theme of emotional barriers and the need for vulnerability in a relationship.


It's interesting to note that the song's official music video features actor Piolo Pascual and actress Alessandra De Rossi, who portray a couple going through a romantic rough patch. The video's director, Ian Galsim, described the song as "a cinematic ballad exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption" and aimed to create a visual narrative that mirrors the song's emotional content.


Overall, Let Me In is a heartfelt and relatable song that addresses the challenges of emotional intimacy and the need for vulnerability in romantic relationships.

Jay Ollero - Drown
[Verse]
I never wanted to fall in love
But you came in, swept me of my feet.
The way you looking into my eyes
It kills me.
It's something about the way you smile
And I can't help but love the way you laugh
The playful way you call me out
It's everything
[Pre-Ref]
Yeah you took me by surprise
Caught up in the rising tide
Lost at sea no coast in sight
I'm terrified
With nowhere to hide
[Refrain]
Love is deep like an ocean
And your waves throw me around
Hurts my heart when we're apart
It feels like, It feels like Im gonna drown
It feels like, It feels like Im gonna drown
Im gonna drown
[Verse]
I've liked being the one in control
Always afraid of letting go
The day you came into my life
You changed me
[Pre-Ref]
Yeah you took me by surprise
Caught up in the rising tide
Lost at sea no coast in sight
I'm terrified
With nowhere to hide
[Refrain]
Love is deep like an ocean
And your waves throw me around
Hurts my heart when we're apart
It feels like, It feels like I'm gonna drown
It feels like, It feels like I'm gonna drown
[Bridge]
I take my last breath
I'm in over my head
As a calm comes over me
I'm sinking slowly
Love is deep like an ocean
And your waves throw me around
Hurts my heart when we're apart
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
Yeah It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
YEAH!!!
[Refrain]
Love is deep like an ocean
And your waves throw me around
Hurts my heart when we're apart
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
And It feels like, feels like, I'm gonna drown
