Let Me Know
Lou & Peter Berryman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't be all you've got too
There's not enough room in here for all of you
I'll give you more whenever I'm ready
I didn't ask to give up my privacy
I'm just one girl
Don't wanna rule the world
I just wanna make, make my own
Let me
I've given my time and love to so many
But I don't have enough to give what you expect me
I'm going out alone
Alone feels just right
Let me
My shoulders are tired from holding such weight
I'm putting it all down
Taking it off
Letting it drip down
I will not be around
I will be somewhere that I can only reach
Not open to the public
Not open to anyone
Not open, not open
Let me
The lyrics to "Let Me Know" by Lou & Peter Berryman might seem simple, but they convey a message that can resonate with many people. At its core, the song is about the importance of setting boundaries and maintaining one's identity, even in the context of a relationship.
The first few lines of the song seem to reflect the singer's frustration with feeling like she is the only one making an effort in the relationship. She acknowledges that she is all she's got and implies that it's not fair for her partner to rely on her entirely. The singer seems to be asking for some space and time for herself, acknowledging that there isn't enough room for everyone in her life at once. She wants to take things at her own pace and not be rushed or pressured to do more than she's ready for.
The chorus is perhaps the most powerful part of the song, as it repeats the phrase "let me" several times. The singer is asserting her independence and asking for permission to be herself. She doesn't want to rule the world or be responsible for anyone else's happiness; she just wants the freedom to make her own choices and live her life on her terms. The final stanza suggests that the singer is ready to let go of the burdens she's been carrying and find some peace and privacy.
Overall, "Let Me Know" is a thoughtful and introspective song that encourages listeners to think about their own boundaries and needs in relationships.
