Song Meaning of “Latchkeys” by White Fence
‘Latchkeys’ by White Fence conveys a sense of loneliness and a longing to be accepted for who we are. The song talks of having a key to ourselves, locked away in our hearts, hidden away from the outside world. It speaks of not being able to let anyone in, out of fear of what may happen if we do. We experience a fear of what those around us may think or what the consequences might be should they reject us for who we truly are.
Yet the song also conveys a sense of hope – of someone believing in us and wanting us to open ourselves up to the world. We hear an invitation to unlock our hearts, to bring out who we really are, and to let someone in without fear of rejection. Finally, we feel a sense of liberation, of letting go of our key, of releasing all our secrets, of stepping out into the light – and of being accepted and embraced just as we are.
