Let’s Eat Grandma are an experimental duo from Norwich, Norfolk. Best friends since the age of four, multi-intrumentalists Rosa and Jenny create imaginative and original music that crosses the worlds of pure pop and progressive weirdness.
‘LEG’s music is neither ‘inside’ nor ‘outside’ – neither Space Lady nor Jessie J but instead exists in a liminal zone where untutored weirdness crashes up against canny pop nous, where id and superego are locked in a wildly fluctuating battle and at no point are the psychically vampiric notions of ‘cool’, ‘authenticity’ and ‘tradition’ sticking their unwanted beaks in.
They could head off in almost any direction and that’s rather thrilling.'
Their band name is taken from a grammatical joke meant to emphasize the importance of comma placement.
Falling Into Me
Let's Eat Grandma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cross the gap between the platform and train (falling into me)
Violet strip lights I try to dissipate my focus (falling into me)
But I realise I can't keep hiding my emotions (falling into me)
I can't just lay or let be
When all the words you say are hanging onto me
You occupy my mind by every which way
There is no reason to doubt myself here
My thoughts were pouring down with the rain
But now I see that it's so crystal clear
We got this
You, me, this
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need to be restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say
You, me, this
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need to be restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say
When we were like night bloom violets
Our handprints pressed to my window
I was feeling quite right like this as the lightning glitched
And it echoed in your eyes
Beating right through the denim
You left a dent in my home screen
We're in so far, but we need it
You know I'd
Bite my hair as I tried to justify
You know I, I
You know I
We got this
You, me, this
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need to be restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say
You, me, this
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need to be restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say
No hesitation at the traffic lights
Beneath the black in my windscreen
We drive
I think they caught it on camera
Can't help but feel it again
It's just the necessary price you pay
If you listen to your instincts
And I don't wanna cast it in concrete
And then it hits me again
We're so illuminated in the night
Alight together down the fireline
Fireline
Beat, beat, beat, beat
Beat, beat, beat, beat, beat
The beginning of "Falling Into Me" depicts the singer crossing the gap between the platform and the train while paving the backstreets with the mist of their brain. The violet strip lights serve to distract them and shift their focus away from their overwhelming emotions. But as they continue to reflect on their thoughts, they realize that they cannot continue to hide their feelings any longer. The words that they have been hearing cling onto them, making it impossible to ignore the emotions that they feel. The singer acknowledges that it's time to be honest about their feelings, and that they can't simply lay and let things be.
The chorus of the song is essentially about embracing one's feelings and being honest about them. It's about being present in the moment and enjoying the present, and not holding back on expressing oneself. It's about not being restrained and about accepting the feeling of falling into love or intense emotions. The singer is suggesting that with their partner, it doesn't matter where they go because wherever they go is the best place. They are urging their partner to be honest with their feelings and not hold back. As the song continues, the singer describes the feeling of reluctance to accept their emotions at first, but ultimately completes the transition into emotional openness.

I don't want to define our love, I want it to grow naturally
And then it hits me again
Suddenly it becomes clear all over again
We're so illuminated in the night
Our love shines brightly in the darkness
Alight together down the fireline
We're united and unstoppable
Beat, beat, beat, beat
Our hearts beat as one
Beat, beat, beat, beat, beat
Our love is strong and constant

Honestly, just had a look and discovered the whole range of their songs today, because my wife is a huge Cyberpunk Edgerunners fan. Fantastic stuff! I've decided to get tickets for London in October. I'm sure that should be a great birthday present. Looking forward to see you!

still to this day, 3 years after hearing it for the first time, having heard it hundreds of times, no other song has been more impressive or impactful to me than this. Favorite song of all time, favorite duo of all time, love them and this song with all my being
