Let Me In Lyrics

They said "you'll feel better in the morning, take some of these".
And now I can't feel a thing.
I dreamt I was an addict, and I woke up in a panic,
Dying to get back to sleep.

In the waking world I wander around
Wondering where to go...
In my dreams I'm running
Right into your door.

I got a little headache, why should today be any different?
It just screams, go home, go home, go home.
So I tried to find the subway, but then someone tripped and unplugged me.
Now silent and still I lay here until, she comes and turns me on.

Out here I'm a mess,
I'm a ghost who overslept on Halloween.
I've been stood up twice, and she seemed so nice,
I think her name was destiny...

Let me in, I don't wanna leave here ever again
It's an ugly world, where beautiful
Doesn't mean much of anything...
Let me in.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think that in this song, as with a lot of the songs he's written as Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room, he's talking about his wife and/or daughter. Without his family, "it's an ugly world where beautiful doesn't mean much of anything". So when he's out in this ugly world, maybe while on tour, he just wants to be back with his family where things are much better. I think this interpretation is reinforced when he says:

"In the waking world I wander around Wondering where to go... In my dreams I'm running Right into your door.

I got a little headache, why should today be any different? It just screams, go home, go home, go home."

Man, I love this song, though. The guitar riff, the lyrics, and the driving, upbeat instrumentals all combine to make a deliciously addictive song.
