Lights Off
Nocturnal Reflections: Unveiling Hidden Realities in Chris Stride's 'Lights Off'
Lyrics
Everybody knows about the money and the bitches and the way that we live but
Acknowledging public awareness of wealth, relationships, and lifestyle.
Aint nobody really talk about those late nights on your own when
Highlighting the unspoken lonely moments during late nights.
You just gotta
Expressing a need to be understood.
Feel me
Emphasizing the importance of being felt or understood.
Exist
Reflecting on existence.
Money do make it easier though I ain't gonna lie
Acknowledging the convenience of money while being truthful about it.
Listen
Encouraging attentive listening.
When the lights are off
Setting the scene of darkness, metaphorically or literally.
And you cant see diamonds all in my audemars
Referencing expensive jewelry in low-light conditions.
Tell me then baby am I the one you want
Pondering whether the speaker is genuinely desired.
Or am I just something that we was making up
Questioning the authenticity of the relationship.
Making up
Reiterating doubts about the relationship being genuine.
And when the lights are off
Repeating the scenario in low-light conditions.
And you cant see diamonds all in my audemars
Reiterating the presence of expensive jewelry.
Tell me then baby am I the one you want
Revisiting the question of genuine desire in a relationship.
Or am I just something that we was making up
Reiterating doubts about the relationship's authenticity.
Making up cause
Stating a reason for skepticism in the relationship.
I don't wanna be your last one
Expressing a desire not to be the last romantic partner.
Play with money all night
Indulging in financial activities throughout the night.
Play with money don't cry
Encouraging emotional resilience during financial endeavors.
Girl
Expressing a desire to tell more comforting lies.
I just wanna tell you more lies
Directing the listener to make eye contact.
Baby look me in my eyes
Asking not to cry and implying deception.
Baby girl don't cry cause
Reassuring against emotional distress.
You know you tell me you point it out then I buy maybe
Acknowledging a pattern of buying things when pointed out.
I know you hate it that I don't give you my time maybe
Acknowledging a lack of time given to the relationship.
I know you follow me where I go when I lie maybe
Suggesting being followed due to dishonesty.
You know the truth that you never part of my life baby
Acknowledging a hidden truth about the speaker's life.
I
Emphasizing a self-aware stance.
I don't wanna be the one to break your heart
Expressing reluctance to cause heartbreak.
I don't wanna be the one to make us fall apart
Expressing a desire to avoid relationship breakdown.
Baby don't ask and you never ever gotta know
Encouraging not to ask questions to maintain ignorance.
You see the money but there's some more you never know
Hinting at undisclosed aspects of the speaker's life.
In the night you know where I go
Describing undisclosed activities during the night.
I play with other hoes besides you
Admitting to involvement with other individuals.
Only loyal to god, family and pesos
Declaring loyalty to God, family, and money.
Only loyal to my boys and dracos
Expressing loyalty to friends and firearms.
When the lights are off
Repeating the scenario in low-light conditions.
And you cant see diamonds all in my audemars
Reiterating the presence of expensive jewelry.
Tell me then baby am I the one you want
Posing the question of genuine desire in a relationship.
Or am I just something that we was making up
Questioning the authenticity of the relationship.
Making up
Reiterating doubts about the relationship's authenticity.
And when the lights are off
Repeating the scenario in low-light conditions.
And you cant see diamonds all in my audemars
Reiterating the presence of expensive jewelry.
Tell me then baby am I the one you want
Revisiting the question of genuine desire in a relationship.
Or am I just something that we was making up
Reiterating doubts about the relationship's authenticity.
Making up
Stating a reason for skepticism in the relationship.
