Let Me In Lyrics

Cover art for Let Me In lyrics by R.E.M.

~I've got tar on my heels...~ Being stuck in a slow death a la the dinosaurs who got stuck in tar pits

~And I can't see all the birds look down and laugh at me~ Being buried, in a coffin, ostracized from the world above you.

Both are about being stuck in death - unable to get to the heavens above (Let me in)
