Led Zeppelin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Senses taking over
Thought you set me free
I've tried to get up
But it was pouring down on me
Keeps on burnin' deeper
Desperate for you to be
Seven psychiatrists couldn't drag it out of me

[Chorus]
Ooh, this is what I need
Ooh, tell me you're allowed to let it show

[Verse 2]
Just like it was magic
I was far enough to see
Better than to get just what
A stranger did to me
Is it 'cause I lie?
Is it 'cause I don't?
Well, I just don't know
Keep on asking me
Darling, let me see (keep on asking)
I'd give anything to let it go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Tame Impala say about "Led Zeppelin"?
Genius Answer

On October 29, 2012, in an interview with Álvaro García Montoliu of PlaygroundMag, Kevin Parker stated:

Just to make a really fun song. It has a really cool groove and I love the guitar, it has something that really makes me think about Led Zeppelin, so that’s why I decided to call it that. I get a kick out of making songs that have kind of the same things as Led Zeppelin. Each part of Led Zeppelin’s songs is really amazing: the guitars, the drums and the bass… So I decided it would be fun to make a song that would be like a homage to Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant is probably not the best thing about Led Zeppelin, as singing it’s not that inspiring. I really like the drum sounds, John Bonham playing, and the bass.
