Lyrics
My-my-my-my friend
Addressing a friend
You and I can sit and spend
Suggesting spending time together
All our time in here together where the fun and play are never ending
Describing a place of endless fun and play
I-I-I-I have
Indicating possession or emphasis
A rule so simple even you can't break it
Introducing a simple rule
You won't like me if the lights go down
Warning about potential dislike in the dark
There is only one rule
Stating the only rule: keep the lights on
Keep the lights on
Reiteration of the importance of lights
I'm coming for you
Expressing a threat or pursuit
I'm good during the day, but I'm something else at night
Highlighting a contrast in behavior between day and night
Don't say I didn't warn you
Forewarning of consequences
I can keep my cool if you keep on all the lights
Suggesting maintaining composure with lights on
I'm coming for you
Reiterating the pursuit or threat
The dimmer that it gets, the less I am myself
Linking self-identity with brightness
Don't say I didn't warn you
Repeating the warning
Why-why-why-would you
Questioning a questionable action
Go and do a thing like that
Expressing fear about the consequences of darkness
I am frightened at what happens now that everything is black
Reflecting on the potential aftermath
Bad, bad kid
Labeling someone as disobedient
Take a look at what you did
Pointing out the consequences of actions
There are consequences when you disobey and I must execute them
Emphasizing the need for executing consequences
Nighty-night
Signal of approaching nighttime
I'm coming for you
Reiteration of pursuit or threat
I'm good during the day, but I'm something else at night
Repeating the contrast between day and night behavior
Don't say I didn't warn you
Repeating the warning
I can keep my cool if you keep on all the lights
Emphasizing composure with lights on
I'm coming for you
Reiterating the pursuit or threat
The dimmer that it gets, the less I am myself
Reiterating the link between self-identity and brightness
Don't say I didn't warn you
Repeating the warning
The lights out
Announcing lights out
Like it's night out
Comparing the situation to nighttime
I am the blue moon
Describing oneself as the blue moon
Sit tight now
Instructing to stay in hiding
In your hideout
Warning or trying to alert
I tried to warn you
Repeating the warning
Light is fading
Describing fading light
La la la da da
Singing or playful sounds
I'm good during the day, but I'm something else at night
Reiterating the contrast between day and night behavior
La la la dee da
More singing or playful sounds
I can keep my cool-my cool-on all the lights-lights
Emphasizing maintaining composure with lights on
La la la da da
More singing or playful sounds
The dimmer that it get-get-gets, the less I am my
Reiterating the link between self-identity and brightness
La-da da da da
More singing or playful sounds
La-da da da da
-La da da
Concluding with a musical phrase
I'm good during the day, but I'm something else at night
Repeating the contrast between day and night behavior
