1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

Let Somebody In
Magnum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep in trouble, endlessly
Just like a ghost across the water
You disappear quietly
Now every day seems too long
And everything just goes wrong
So when did you start to live again?
You'd better let somebody in
You don't open up to anything
You'd better let somebody in
The time's growing shorter
Let somebody in
You're going to lose it all again
You'd better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
Now you get lost in your own time
Hide your secrets far away
Don't count the cost when you're falling
Don't have the answers, so you say
When every day brings you down
You're just a face in the crowd
'Cause you don't try, you don't pretend
Oh, what a way for this to end
You'd better let somebody in
You don't open up to anything
You'd better let somebody in
The time's growing shorter
Let somebody in
You're going to lose it all again
You'd better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
I thought that I really knew you
But that can't be right
And no one could ever find you
Lost in the night
You'd better let somebody in
You don't open up to anything
You'd better let somebody in
The time's growing shorter
Let somebody in
You're going to lose it all again
You'd better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
Let somebody in
You're going to lose it all again
You'd better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
Magnum's song Let Somebody In is a poignant plea to a person who has lost their way and shut themselves off from the world. The opening lines ask, "When did you stop looking homeward?" which suggests that the person is no longer seeking connection to those around them, and as a result, they are "deep in trouble". The image of "disappear[ing] quietly" is haunting, and it paints a picture of a person who has retreated into themselves so much that they are almost invisible. The refrain "You'd better let somebody in / You don't open up to anything" repeats several times, emphasizing the importance of breaking down walls and letting people into one's life. The urgency of the message is heightened by the line, "The time's growing shorter", which implies that time is running out for the person to turn their life around.
The second verse explores the consequences of being closed off to the world. The person is "lost in [their] own time" and has "hidden [their] secrets far away". They don't "count the cost when [they're] falling" and "don't have the answers", which suggests that their isolation has left them incapable of coping with life's challenges. The line "When every day brings you down / You're just a face in the crowd" drives home the point that by keeping themselves separate, the person has reduced themselves to a mere cog in the machine of life. The line "Before your blood turns to water" is a powerful image, suggesting that the person's life force is draining away as they remain closed off from the world.
Overall, Magnum's Let Somebody In is a song about the importance of connection and the consequences of isolation. It's a reminder that we all need people in our lives, and that shutting ourselves off from the world can have dire consequences. The repeated refrain of "You'd better let somebody in" is a call to action, urging the person to break free of their isolation and embrace the world around them.
Line by Line Meaning
When did you stop looking homeward?
At what point did you cease searching for a place to call home?
Deep in trouble, endlessly
You find yourself in dire straits with no end in sight
Just like a ghost across the water
You come and go without a trace, leaving no tangible impact
You disappear quietly
You make a subtle exit without explanation or closure
Now every day seems too long
You struggle to find joy or purpose in your daily routine
And everything just goes wrong
You face constant setbacks and hardships, no matter what you do
So when did you start to live again?
When did you begin to truly experience life instead of simply existing?
Oh, what a way for this to end
It's a disappointing way for life to conclude
You'd better let somebody in
It's in your best interest to open up to others and let them help you
You don't open up to anything
You keep yourself closed off from those who try to reach out to you
The time's growing shorter
There's not much time left to make a change and avoid negative consequences
Let somebody in
Allow someone to get close to you and offer their support
You're going to lose it all again
Without opening up and seeking help, you're bound to repeat past mistakes and suffer consequences
Before your blood turns to water
Before you become completely apathetic and unfeeling, losing the essence of what makes you human
Now you get lost in your own time
You become absorbed and stuck in your own thoughts and worries
Hide your secrets far away
You keep your issues to yourself and refuse to confide in anyone
Don't count the cost when you're falling
You disregard the negative consequences of your actions, even when you're heading towards failure
Don't have the answers, so you say
You don't know how to fix your issues and refuse to admit it
When every day brings you down
You're constantly facing negativity and disappointment
You're just a face in the crowd
You don't stand out or make an impact, blending in with everyone else
Cause you don't try, you don't pretend
You don't put in the effort to improve your situation or put on a facade of happiness
I thought that I really knew you
You weren't the person I thought you were
But that can't be right
There must be something else at play that I'm not aware of
And no one could ever find you
You're impossible to locate or reach out to
Lost in the night
You're trapped in your own mind and emotions, wandering aimlessly in the darkness
