The Sensation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Whee-ooh, whee-ooh, hoo-ooh-oop-whee-ooh, whee-ooh)
I can see the dancin' (let me in)
The silhouettes on the shade
I hear the music (music), all the lovers on parade
Open up (let me in), I want to come in again
I thought you were my friend
Pitter patter of those fee-ee-ee-ee-eet
Movin' and a-groovin' with that be-eat
Jumpin' and stompin on the flo-o-o-o-oor
(Lemme in) Let me in!
(Open up) Open up!
Why don't you open up that door? (let me in)
I-uh (open up) hear music let me in (music)
I want to come in again
Let me in (let me in), a-well I heard it just then
I thought you were my friend
(Whee-ooh, whee-ooh, hoop-whee-ooh)
(Whee-ooh, whee-ooh, hoo-ooh-oop-whee-ooh, whee-ooh)
Pitter patter of the fee-ee-ee-ee-eet
Movin' and a-groovin' with that be-eat
Jumpin' and stompin on the flo-o-o-o-oor
(Lemme in) Let me in!
(Open up) Open up!
Why don't you open up that door? (let me in)
I-uh-I-uh-I (open up) hear music, let me in (music)
Oh I heard it just then
Let me in (let me in)
I want to come in again
I thought you were my friend

The Sensations' song "Let Me In" is a classic doo-wop track that revolves around the theme of unrequited love. The lyrics describe a man who is outside of a room watching people dance and have fun. He desperately wants to be a part of the festivities, but he's locked out. He can see the shadows of the dancers and hears the music, which only makes him feel more left out. He begs his friend to let him back in, but it's unclear why he was kicked out in the first place. He's confused by his friend's behavior and feels like he's being excluded for no reason. The repetition of the phrase "let me in" underscores his desperation and longing for the connection he's lost.
The song's catchy chorus and upbeat melody belie the sadness and isolation depicted in the lyrics. The pitter-patter of feet, the grooving beat, and the stomping on the floor all speak to the joy of movement and the desire to be part of a community. At the same time, the repetition of the phrase "let me in" creates a sense of urgency and longing that is palpable. The ambiguity of the situation is also interesting - we never really find out why the singer was kicked out or if he is ultimately able to reconnect with his friend and the partygoers.

Lyrics:
If only time could disappear
We would be this way until the end (yeah)
'Cause the speed of sound can hit when we would miss.
Without our heart and soul we don't exist
No, we don't exist...
So let me see, let me feel
Let me breathe you without a sound
It's the only thing I'm waking up for now, up for now
Let me see, let me feel,
Let me breathe you without a sound
It's the only thing I'm waking up for now, up for now.
If only I could hear you say that in a little while
You and I would meet (yeah)
'Cause the speed of sound can hit when we're missed.
Without our heart and soul we don't exist
No, we don't exist...
So let me see, let me feel
Let me breathe you without a sound
It's the only thing I'm waking up for now, up for now
Let me see, let me feel,
Let me breathe you without a sound
It's the only thing I'm waking up for now, up for now
