Ted Atkatz's departure from the Chicago Symphony in 2006 to pursue NYCO raised a few eyebrows. Dan Wakin's article in the New York Times in February of '07 chronicled Ted's move to make NYCO his main profession. Since then, the band has toured the midwest and both coasts, as well as participating in the 2007 St. Barts Music Festival, 2011 South by Southwest, and Ted performed as a guest artist at the 2013 Coachella Music Festival.
NYCO has released three full length albums: Two (2005), Realize (2008) and Future Imperfect (2012). The soulful "English Song" has already garnered significant attention, and has even been dubbed a pop classic by WXRT DJ Richard Milne. NYCO's "Let Me In" was featured in Volkswagen Motor's 2007 Auto Show Podcast. NYCO's music was featured in MTV's "Cribs" in 2010.
Onstage, Atkatz is joined by Leo Budirihardjo, Seth Murphy, and Hubie Wang, and is now based in Los Angeles, California

Let Me In
Nyco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Again and again, try again
Knowing this can't be the end
But then, oh I can't understand
How the world is spinning
How it keeps on turning
Down to earth and starry eyed
Yet I am still a child inside
Can somebody hear me
Teach me to be carefree
I am slowly losing sight
Chase away the darkness
Tell me it'll be alright
Please don't let me go
I have yet to know
Which way is the right, the wrong
And which way I should go
Please don't ask me why
How I still deny
Drowning in my mind
I'm fine, I'm not, I just don't know
But please don't let me go
Only poison in my head
Don't do this, don't do that
I'm a mess
Beating myself down to shreds
It's my fault, it's my fault
I'm useless
Please don't let me go
I have yet to know
Which way is the right, the wrong
And which way I should go
Please don't ask me why
How I still deny
Drowning in my mind
I'm fine, I'm not, I just don't know
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go
I have yet to know
Which way is the right, the wrong
And which way I should go
And please don't ask me why
I will still deny
Drowning in my mind
I'm fine, I'm not, I just don't know
Please don't let me go
I have yet to know
If there's any at all
Which are the ways that I can't go
The lyrics of Nyco's song "Let Me In" convey a sense of confusion and desperation as the singer struggles to understand their place in the world. In the first stanza, the singer alludes to having made mistakes in the past, but expresses a desire to try again and to keep going despite not fully comprehending what is happening around them. They feel both grounded in reality and lost in their own mind - a childlike quality that speaks to their uncertainty and need for guidance.
The second stanza continues this theme of feeling lost and overwhelmed, with the singer describing the "poison" in their head that tells them what not to do and beats them down with self-blame. Despite this internal struggle, they beg for someone to help them, to teach them to be carefree, and to chase away the darkness that threatens to consume them.
The chorus repeats the plea for someone to not let them go, as the singer admits that they don't know which way is right, which way is wrong, or which path to choose. They are drowning in their own mind, unsure of what to do or how to move forward. Ultimately, the song expresses a desire for connection and support, a recognition that even in our darkest moments we all need someone to reach out and help us find our way.
