Turn out My Lights
Embracing Solitude: Nightly Conversations with Long Lost Memories
Lyrics
Same old blue coming round again
Reflecting on recurring emotions or situations represented by the color blue.
Every night about this time
Referencing a specific time each night when a familiar feeling emerges.
And it's calling me like a long lost friend
Describing the emotional pull as if it's a connection to a long-lost friend.
When I turn out my lights
Symbolizing a moment of introspection or solitude by turning off lights.
I can see you in my dreams
Expressing the presence of someone in the dream world, possibly a lost love.
Every time I close my eyes
Highlighting the recurrence of the person's image when closing eyes.
And just like I knew you'd be to
Anticipating the comforting nature of the person's presence during the night.
Give me through the night
Expecting the person to guide and support through difficult times.
I can feel the darkness fall
Sensing the arrival of a metaphorical darkness or challenges.
Like the rain against the wind blows
Drawing a comparison between the falling darkness and the wind-blown rain.
And I can hear your memory like a
Describing the persistence of the person's memory like a dream.
Dream outside my window babe
Visualizing the memories outside, possibly emphasizing their impact.
Even though I know you're gone
Acknowledging the person's absence but feeling their companionship.
I don't have to be alone now
Rejecting the idea of loneliness due to the lingering presence of the person.
You're here with me every night
Affirming the person's continuous presence during the night.
When I turn out my lights
Reiterating the significance of the moment when turning off the lights.
When I turn out my lights tonight
Anticipating a comforting experience when looking into the person's eyes.
And look into your eyes
Emphasizing the visual connection and reassurance through eye contact.
I know it's gonna be alright
Expressing confidence that everything will be okay in that moment.
When I turn out my lights
Reaffirming the positive experience associated with turning off the lights.
'Til it's them same old blues coming round again
Reintroducing the recurring theme of the "same old blues" in the narrative.
Every night about this time
Recalling the specific time each night when the familiar emotions resurface.
And it's calling me like a long lost friend
Reiterating the emotional pull as if reconnecting with a long-lost friend.
When I turn out my lights, turn out my lights
Affirming the significance of the moment of turning off the lights.
