The song "Let Her Know" by July Talk tells a story about a complicated relationship and the struggle to keep one's true feelings hidden. The lyrics caution against revealing too much about one's emotions and desires, implying that it may not be reciprocated or taken seriously. The protagonist is advised not to let the person they are involved with know that their feelings are not just a passing fling or something temporary. They don't want this person to know that their emotions are not exclusive and that they have feelings for others as well. The lyrics also highlight the importance of maintaining a facade and not letting the other person know that one's preferences or preferences change. The suggestion is to be quiet and comply, as if putting on a performance under the spotlight of the stage. The mention of stuntmen dying only when they're not in love implies that the person would rather have a dramatic end to the relationship, a metaphorical suicide, than to continue being with someone who is not in love with them. The chorus emphasizes the secrecy and the determination to keep the true feelings hidden. The protagonist admits that they will never let the person know their true emotions. The line "Watch her fall in line while we take our toll" could suggest that they continue to pretend and deceive, while the person they are addressing pays the price for their actions. The mention of the ex having a camera and losing control implies that past experiences have led to difficulties in the relationship. The lyrics also mention not letting the person be their favorite telephone, which could suggest not relying solely on this person for emotional support or companionship. Additionally, the mention of preferring to sleep alone implies a desire for independence and not relying on someone else for comfort. The latter part of the song acknowledges the presence of the person the protagonist is trying to hide their feelings from, indicating that they are still around. The phrase "July talks because of you" could mean that this person has influenced or changed the protagonist in some way, possibly making them more guarded or secretive. The repetition of the phrase "She's still here" suggests that despite the efforts to hide their emotions, the person's presence and impact on the protagonist's life is still significant. Overall, "Let Her Know" portrays a complex and secretive relationship where the protagonist is torn between wanting to express their feelings and the fear of being vulnerable or rejected. It explores themes of deceit, emotional unavailability, and the struggle to maintain a facade.
