Let Me Know
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't see
I couldn't hear
Shut me off when you were near
Like a cloud
A dusty mirror
Disappear, you disappear

All of a sudden
All alone
I'm calling out
I'm calling love's gonna let me know
Like the day you took me home
We counted every minute left to go
My love's gonna let you know

Time without you drags me down
It all feels right with you around
It all feels light with you around
Like that night we hit the ground
And all the lightning sends a chill
Can't forget about you still
All of a sudden all alone
I'm calling out
I'm calling

Love's gonna let me know
Like the day you took me home
We counted every minute left to go
My love's gonna let you know

Calling love's gonna let me know
Like the day you took me home
We counted every minute left to go
My love's gonna let you know

I'm calling out I'm calling
I'm calling out I'm calling
I'm calling out I'm calling




I'm calling out I'm calling
I'm calling out I'm calling out

The opening lines of "I couldn't see, I couldn't hear, shut me off when you were near" suggest that the singer feels disconnected from the person they are addressing. They describe this person as disappearing, which could be interpreted as them feeling abandoned or ignored.


The chorus of the song revolves around the idea that love is going to provide clarity and understanding. The repeated phrase "Love's gonna let me know" suggests that the singer is hopeful that love will help bridge the gap between them and the other person. The bridge of the song talks about how time without this person "drags me down" and how things feel "right" and "light" when they are together.


Overall, the lyrics in "Let Me Know" paint a picture of someone who is struggling to connect with someone they care about. There is a sense of longing throughout the song, but there is also a glimmer of hope that love will ultimately prevail.


Line by Line Meaning

I couldn't see
I was lost and blinded without you


I couldn't hear
I couldn't find my way without your voice


Shut me off when you were near
You ignored my presence and shut me out


Like a cloud
You hovered over me, but I couldn't touch you


A dusty mirror
My reflection was blurred and unclear without you


Disappear, you disappear
You left me behind and vanished into the distance


All of a sudden
Out of nowhere, I'm alone


All alone
I'm left in my own thoughts and emotions


I'm calling out
I'm reaching out for you


Love's gonna let me know
Love will guide me to the truth


Like the day you took me home
The memories of our love are still vivid and strong


We counted every minute left to go
We treasured every moment we had together


My love's gonna let you know
My love will make you feel my absence


Time without you drags me down
The passing of time is unbearable without you


It all feels right with you around
Everything falls into place with your presence


It all feels light with you around
Your love brings light into my life


Like that night we hit the ground
The night we fell in love and surrendered to each other


And all the lightning sends a chill
The intensity of our passion still gives me shivers


Can't forget about you still
I can't erase you from my memory


I'm calling
I'm desperate to hear your voice


I'm calling out
I'm shouting out to the universe for you


I'm calling out
I'm expressing my love for you


I'm calling out
I'm longing for you


I'm calling out
I need you to hear me

Nadia


on "date with the night"

I got a date with the night
Burnin' out my finger
Gonna catch the kids dry
Gonna walk on water
Buyin' out the fight
We're sweatin' in the winter
Both thighs squeeze tight

Choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke...

Don't tell me to fix her
Don't tell me to fix her
Just take a bite
No hangin' no picture
Flyin' out my sight
Droppin' brides at the altar
Both thighs squeeze tight

Choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke choke...

I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off

I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off off

Buyin' out the fight
Gonna walk on water
Gonna catch the kids dry
Gonna bend my finger
Flyin' out my sight
We're sweatin' in the winter


Both thighs squeeze tight
Both thighs squeeze tight
