Let Me Out
Breaking Free: Imelda May's Struggle Against Confinement
Lyrics
Poundin' down the door, drownin' out your name
Pounding forcefully on the door, trying to ignore or forget your name.
Stompin' through the floor,
Moving angrily and heavily through the floor.
Let me out boy I'm goin' insane
Expressing a plea to be released, feeling like losing sanity or control.
I'm hissin' like Eartha Kitt in a cage,
Comparing oneself to Eartha Kitt (known for her assertiveness), feeling trapped and expressing frustration.
I'm howlin' like a dog
Expressing distress or frustration, perhaps feeling like a caged animal.
You're evil what you're doin' to me,
Accusing the person of being cruel, despite trying to connect (kissing).
I kissed you but you're still a frog
Despite efforts, the person remains unchanged and undesirable.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Repeated plea to be set free from the situation.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
-Let me out, let me out, let me out
-Let me out, let me out
-You got me and you dangle the key,
Feeling controlled by the person and being tantalized with the idea of freedom.
Freedom in front of my rage
Warning that if not released, emotions will cause destruction.
You better let me out
Urging to be released, otherwise, there will be severe consequences.
Or I'm gonna break every bone in this human cage
Expressing the intensity of the desire for freedom, using metaphorical language.
Your holdin' too tight,
Feeling excessively restricted and controlled.
You're tyin' me down, this time you gone too far
Feeling pushed beyond acceptable limits, prompting rebellion.
You're evil what you're doin' to me,
Reiterating the cruelty of the situation, refusing to be held captive.
I'll be nobodys prisoner
Declaring independence and refusing to be under someone's control.
Oh I'm startin' to freak, I'm startin' to shake
Beginning to panic and tremble due to the situation.
Oh I can't breathe, but you're not gonna take
Feeling suffocated and desperate, resisting against being taken advantage of.
A lot of action,
Feeling overwhelmed and overwhelmed by emotions.
I'm near distraction,
Experiencing extreme distress or disturbance.
I'm goin' outta my mind
Feeling like losing one's sanity due to the situation.
Gonna rattle the bars, gonna break up the ball
Expressing determination to break free from confinement, metaphorically or literally.
Gonna tear out my hair, kick holes in the wall
Intending to show extreme frustration or distress physically.
My possession is your obsession,
Stating that the other person's fixation on control won't succeed this time.
You're not gonna win this time
Asserting against the oppressor, refusing to yield to their control.
