Let Me In
KTJ & CARLY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't remember the loneliness
And it feels like that says something about you
Or something 'bout me
Performance and the after party
And it took a little time I guess
But I found that I'm not thinking about you
Or thinking 'bout us
Then we pack up, it's time to go
We'll do the whole damn thing tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, let's go
Driving all night to make that show
I'll be a whole new girl tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, eyes closed
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band
Just me and the boys in the band
Now and then a memory sparks
Like violins still break my heart
And I feel like that says something about you
Or something 'bout me
One day we will meet as friends
But I am not good at pretending
You were so good at pretending
Hey, but now I pack up, it's time to go
We'll do the whole damn thing tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, let's go
Driving all night to make that show
I'll be a whole new girl tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, eyes closed
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
So just take me to stage
It's been home from the start
Summer nights, summer days
I've got the summer fun!
So just take me to the stage
It's been lit from the start
I need the summer fun
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
Just me and the boys in the band
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah (hey)
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band (with the boys in the band)
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
So just take me to stage
It's been home from the start (hey)
Summer nights, summer days (just me and the boys)
I've got the summer fun (hey)
So just take me to stage
It's been lit from the start
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
On the road for half the year
And "Real Love" is just a song I guess
And it feels like that says something about you
Or something about me
The lyrics of KTJ & CARLY's song "Let Me In" paint a vivid picture of a musician's life on the road, filled with fleeting moments of connection and reflection. The opening stanza captures the whirlwind nature of touring, where the singer grapples with feelings of loneliness and detachment amidst the chaos of performances and after-parties. There is a sense of disconnection between the singer and their past love, as they find themselves engulfed in the transient thrill of the music industry.
As the journey continues, the lyrics shift to a scene of excitement and anticipation in a new city, symbolizing a fresh start and the promise of reinvention. The singer embraces the chance to become a "whole new girl" in this unfamiliar setting, suggesting a desire for transformation and self-discovery. The imagery of driving all night to reach the next show conveys a sense of urgency and determination to chase after their dreams.
Amidst the partying and revelry, the singer experiences moments of introspection and vulnerability, depicted in the emotional depth of the lyrics. There is a poignant acknowledgment of past memories and the pain they still evoke, highlighting the lingering impact of lost love and unresolved emotions. The juxtaposition of the carefree partying with the inner turmoil hints at the complexity of human emotions and the struggle to move on from the past.
The chorus brings the narrative full circle, emphasizing the sense of camaraderie and unity found among the bandmates. The stage becomes a symbol of belonging and purpose, a place where the singer feels at home and alive. The repeated refrain of "Just me and the boys in the band" underscores the bond and shared experiences that define their journey. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a bittersweet reflection on love, loss, and the transformative power of music in navigating life's ups and downs.
Line by Line Meaning
On the road for half a year
Traveling for six months
And I can't remember the loneliness
Loneliness is a distant memory
And it feels like that says something about you
Suggesting something about your character
Or something 'bout me
Or perhaps it reflects on me
Performance and the after party
The show and the celebration afterward
And it took a little time I guess
It took some time, I suppose
But I found that I'm not thinking about you
I realized I'm not thinking of you
Or thinking 'bout us
Or dwelling on our past relationship
Then we pack up, it's time to go
We prepare to leave and move on
We'll do the whole damn thing tomorrow
We'll start fresh again tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, let's go
Exploring a beautiful new city
Driving all night to make that show
Traveling through the night to perform
I'll be a whole new girl tomorrow
I will be transformed by tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, eyes closed
Taking in the beauty with eyes closed in relaxation
We partied in the street last night
We celebrated in the streets yesterday
Got a little deep last night
Had some deep conversations
In our feelings, yeah
Emotionally vulnerable
And I got a little me last night
I connected with myself
I danced in the street last night
Enjoyed dancing outdoors
With the boys in the band
Alongside my bandmates
Now and then a memory sparks
Occasionally memories resurface
Like violins still break my heart
Sorrowful memories linger
One day we will meet as friends
Hoping to reconcile as friends one day
But I am not good at pretending
I struggle with pretending things are okay
You were so good at pretending
You were adept at putting on a facade
Hey, but now I pack up, it's time to go
Now I'm ready to move forward
Just me and the boys in the band (hey)
Enjoying moments with my bandmates
So just take me to stage
Lead me to the stage
It's been home from the start
The stage feels like home
Summer nights, summer days
Enjoying summer days and nights
I've got the summer fun!
Embracing the joy of summer
