Let Me In
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Vulnerability in Aaron Sprinkle's 'Let Me In'
Lyrics
On my own volition
Expressing a personal choice or decision to act independently.
I pound my head against the wall
Symbolizing frustration or distress by physically hitting the wall.
And I don't hear it when you call
Indicating a lack of responsiveness to a call, possibly emotional or metaphorical.
Tumbling down the stairway
Describing a descent, possibly metaphorical, with challenges along the way.
I still try to make the phone
Attempting to reach out despite difficulties, possibly in communication.
I call you back but your not home
Encountering an absence or unavailability when trying to connect.
Full of good intention
Having good intentions but facing personal struggles or challenges.
I read the paper to myself
Engaging in self-reflection through reading, possibly to escape reality.
I try to act like someone else
Attempting to adopt a different persona, possibly to cope with difficulties.
Barely past the headline
Recalling a significant event or statement from the past.
I still remember what you said
Retaining a memory and struggling to express emotions.
I'll hold it in until I'm dead
Suppressing emotions until a breaking point or death.
I best be getting on with this
Acknowledging the need to move forward despite emotional challenges.
But I can't get you out my head
Expressing difficulty in forgetting or letting go of someone.
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
Requesting divine intervention or guidance through prayer.
I ask that you would let me in
Seeking inclusion or acceptance, possibly in a relationship.
Beading on the window
Describing tears or raindrops on a window, indicating emotional turmoil.
The weather underneath my eyes
Questioning the source of emotional distress, whether internal or external.
Is it rain or am I crying
Uncertainty about the emotional state, questioning tears or rain.
TV in the distance
Noting the presence of a distant distraction, possibly representing reality.
Am I awake or still asleep
Questioning the state of consciousness, blurring the line between wakefulness and sleep.
I feel a hand against my cheek
Feeling a comforting touch against the cheek, possibly a comforting presence.
I best be getting on with this
Reiterating the struggle to move forward despite lingering thoughts.
But I can't get you out of my head
Expressing the persistent nature of thoughts about someone.
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
Repeatedly seeking divine intervention or connection through prayer.
I ask that you would let me in
Reiterating the desire for inclusion or acceptance through prayer.
Like every time before
Committing to using metaphorical expressions to convey inner thoughts.
I'll sing a metaphor
Expressing the intention to use metaphorical language for introspection.
To try to shed some light inside my mind
Acknowledging the limitations of metaphorical expressions.
A lot of good that will do
Expressing frustration at the inability to fully understand someone else.
I can't get inside of you
Expressing difficulty in understanding or connecting with someone deeply.
To take back the back the past and make things ne
Reflecting on the impossibility of changing the past or making amends.
I best be getting on with this
Reiterating the struggle to move forward despite persistent thoughts.
But I can't get you out my head
Expressing the difficulty of forgetting someone despite attempts to move on.
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
Continuing the pattern of seeking divine intervention through prayer.
I ask that you would let me in
Reiterating the plea for inclusion or acceptance through prayer.
