let me in
Myrrh Larsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I forgot how hard it is to start, or carry on.
I forgot the ocean, I forgot the salty breeze.
I forgot how it feels to be down upon my knees.
I forgot the sun, forgot the moonlight in your eyes.
I forgot the way you'd turn to me in such surprise.
I forgot the note upon the counter by the door.
Oh, let me in. Oh, let me in.
I forgot the words, forgot the pattern of this song.
I forgot how hard it is to start, or carry on.
I forgot the melody, the passion in your eyes.
I've forgotten everything that once kept me alive.
Oh, let me in. Oh, let me in.
Let me in, let me in. Let me in, let me in.
Let me in, let me in.
The lyrics of Myrrh Larsen's "Let Me In" speak to a sense of forgetfulness and longing for connection. The repetition of "I forgot" in the first verse creates a sense of disorientation and confusion, as if the singer has lost touch with their own sense of self and purpose. This is emphasized by the phrase "forgot how hard it is to start, or carry on," which suggests that the singer has lost momentum in their own life, and is struggling to keep going.
The second half of the first verse shifts focus to the outside world, with the singer reminiscing about the ocean and the "salty breeze." This could be taken as a metaphor for the sense of renewal and rejuvenation that comes from being in touch with nature, or it could simply be a way to contrast the emptiness the singer feels inside themselves. The second verse repeats the same pattern of forgetfulness, with the singer forgetting "the melody, the passion in your eyes," which suggests that they have lost touch with those close to them as well.
The refrain, "Oh, let me in," is a plea for connection and understanding. The singer is essentially saying that they feel lost and alone, and that they need someone to help them find their way back to themselves. The repetition of the phrase "let me in" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is afraid that they will never be able to re-establish the connection they have lost. Overall, the lyrics of "Let Me In" speak to the universal experience of feeling disconnected and alone, and the need for human connection to give our lives meaning.
