T-Pain ft. Bali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My love you must not know what I'm about
Cause you hold me down though my time's over
You hold me down
Swiftly swiftly swiftly swiftly
Swiftly swiftly swiftly swiftly
The first verse of the song Let Me Thru by T-Pain Feat. Lil Wayne evokes a sense of vulnerability and desperation. The lyrics “Hangman, is it me you're looking for, I don't think I'm ready to leave” suggest a person who is afraid to face death or is trying to evade it. The line “Crushed by society, I don't understand, Victim of reality, I crawl back in my shell” indicates the singer’s sense of isolation and disconnection from the world.
The second verse explores themes of mortality and the human condition. The line “Nobody lives forever, everything begins where it ends” suggests a sense of futility in life, with everything coming to an eventual end. The line “Confusion in my own desperation, I'm the chosen one to suffer” suggests that the singer feels like they are the only one experiencing such desperation and that it is their fate to suffer.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines “Are you really gonna leave me crying? Are you really gonna leave me drowning? Are you really gonna leave me dying? Are you really gonna let me down?”, which suggest a plea to be saved or rescued by someone or something. The final verse of the song shows the singer’s inner turmoil, with the lines “I am a perfect death, I'm on the edge, I am the freak, and no one cares” indicating a sense of hopelessness and despair.
