Lights Go Out
Midnight Revelations: Hidden Desires in Shadows
Lyrics
Sure okay, I’m the one in your hoodie
The speaker is wearing the lover's hoodie, missing their scent.
‘Cause I miss the smell your shampoo
Expressing longing for the scent of the lover's shampoo.
Yeah okay, I still feel what you do to me
The speaker still feels the impact of the relationship on them.
But I think that you feel it too
Suggesting the belief that the lover also feels the impact.
Yeah she’s the one you rely on, the one you rely on every day
Noting another person the lover relies on daily.
But how long we gon’ deny it, I’m on your mind, in some kinda way?
Questioning how long denial of the speaker's presence in the lover's thoughts will continue.
When the lights, the lights go out
Referring to a moment when darkness falls or when things become less clear.
I’m the one that you’re thinking about
The speaker is the one occupying the lover's thoughts in these moments.
In the light of day you got it all figured out
During daytime, the lover seems to have everything sorted out.
But when the lights, the lights go out
Reiterating that in moments of darkness or uncertainty, the speaker is on the lover's mind.
I’m what you’re thinking about
Confirming the speaker's occupancy in the lover's thoughts during such times.
When the lights, the lights go out
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's presence in the lover's thoughts when darkness falls.
When the lights, the lights go out
-I'm what you're thinking about
-Yeah I heard you were getting pretty serious
Awareness of the lover being in a serious relationship but still reaching out to the speaker.
But you're still hitting up my phone
The lover continues to contact the speaker without explicitly mentioning their new partner.
Won’t say her name, you’re acting all mysterious
Acting secretive or mysterious about the new partner's identity, though the speaker knows.
As if I don’t already know
The speaker already knows about the lover's new relationship.
Yeah she’s the one you rely on, the one you rely on every day
Reiteration of the person the lover relies on daily, hinting at the speaker's doubts.
But how long we gon’ deny it, can’t we just try it, can’t you just say
Questioning why they can't acknowledge the speaker's importance and give the relationship another chance.
When the lights, the lights go out
Reinforcing the idea that during moments of darkness, the lover thinks of the speaker.
I’m the one that you’re thinking about
-In the light of day you got it all figured out
-But when the lights, the lights go out
-I’m what you’re thinking about
-When the lights, the lights go out
-When the lights, the lights go out
-I'm what you're thinking about
-When your curtains close
Implies a time of privacy or intimacy.
Can’t stay awake no more
Expressing fatigue, the inability to stay awake.
She’s beside you but babe
Despite someone being beside the lover, the speaker knows they're emotionally alone.
I know that you’re alone
The speaker senses the lover's emotional distance.
You and me, I felt it right into my bones
Feeling a strong connection between the speaker and the lover.
Ohh
An exclamation indicating intense emotion.
When the lights, the lights go out
Repeated emphasis on the speaker being the lover's thought during moments of darkness.
I’m the one that you’re thinking about
-In the light of day you got it all figured out
-But when the lights, the lights go out
-I’m what you’re thinking about
-Hey yeah
-When the lights, the lights go out
-I'm what you're thinking about
-When the lights, the lights go out
The speaker tries to convince themselves of their significance in the lover's thoughts.
That’s what I’m telling myself
Conclusion where the speaker reaffirms their belief, attempting self-assurance.
