Let Me Be Him Lyrics
I can see
Let me be
I can see
Let me Be
All this freedom we get, oh
it's not all its cracked up to be
(I can see)
(Let me be)
Only foes and rejects, oh
they are all we can see
(I can see)
(Let me be)
Oh it's over me, yet
we are made reality
(I can see)
(Let me be)
Only foes and rejects, oh
they are all we can see
(I can see)
(Let me be)
Oh, Let me be him, be him, be him
Oh, Let me be him
Oh, Let me be him
(oh oh, heyyy oh oh)
Let me be him
My soul, my love,
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
Work hard, play hard at work
Lend me your ideas
But not too fully formed
So we can't be ignored
Broken into pieces,
when he sang to me
(I can see)
Call my name, remember
what you mean to me
Let me be him, be him, be him
Oh, let me be him
Oh, let me be him
Let me be him
My soul, my love
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
My soul, my love
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
My soul, my love,
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
All this sense in me,
it's gonna be the death of me
Dying every evening,
without sleep happening to me
With all this sense in me,
you are really spoiling me
Rotten without reason,
without sense, where would I be
Starting with your treason,
you forgot to burn a tree
All this sense in me,
it's gonna be the death of me
Let me be
Let me Be
it's not all its cracked up to be
(Let me be)
they are all we can see
(Let me be)
we are made reality
(Let me be)
they are all we can see
(Let me be)
Oh, Let me be him
Oh, Let me be him
My soul, my love,
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
Lend me your ideas
But not too fully formed
So we can't be ignored
when he sang to me
what you mean to me
Oh, let me be him
Oh, let me be him
My soul, my love
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
My soul, my love
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
My soul, my love,
is running away with me
And I won't leave it all to you
it's gonna be the death of me
without sleep happening to me
you are really spoiling me
without sense, where would I be
you forgot to burn a tree
it's gonna be the death of me
Alexis Taylor, in an interview with Pitchfork: "Actually, with this album, I felt a freedom to use words without them having to have a logical meaning at all. That was partly inspired by listening to Joe's demo of the track 'Let Me Be Him' and really liking the sound of all the words, and wondering what the song was about. I asked Joe, and he said it was more like a phonetic thing, and then making out what those words were after. That made sense to me."
"All this sinsemilla is gonna be the death of me."
Forgot how much I love Hot Chip
