open
Lads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See you waiting through my window pane
Anticipating all my fears again
Been so long since I unlocked the door
Painful memories I cannot ignore
Where do I begin? Can I let you in?

Open up the door, step inside the hall
And welcome to the place that I call home
I've been scared to show, let anybody know
What's been going on inside for oh, so long

Standing in my living room you see
Deep into the very heart of me
Sacrifice my fear to have you close
This is where I know, I need you most
Where do I begin? It?s time to let you in





And now you're here and I know it?s all I needed
And I?d like you to stay, it?s a brand new day

Overall Meaning

In Lads's song "Open," the singer/artist is speaking of their vulnerability and fear of opening up to someone, specifically, a loved one. The song's opening line "See you waiting through my window pane, anticipating all my fears again" suggests that the singer sees someone they care about waiting outside of their window, but they have yet to open the door to let them in. The singer then mentions that it's been a long time since the door has been unlocked, which could suggest that they've been closed off emotionally for quite some time.


As the song progresses, the singer begins to express their desire for the person waiting outside to come in and experience their life. They admit that they've been scared to show anyone what's going on inside for so long, but now they're ready to open up. The lines "Standing in my living room you see, deep into the very heart of me" offers a glimpse into the singer's psyche. The living room is typically the place where people entertain visitors or spend time with loved ones, making it a fitting space for the singer to let this person into their life. The chorus repeats the phrase "Where do I begin? Can I let you in?" emphasizing their struggle to be vulnerable.


The song's final verse is a turning point, where the artist finally lets the person in, sacrificing their fear to have them close. They acknowledge that this is when they need this person the most. The final lines "And now you're here and I know it's all I needed, and I'd like you to stay, it's a brand new day" suggest that the artist is excited for this new chapter in their life and has newfound hope.
