Turn Out The Light
Embracing Darkness: Love, Loss, and Self-Realization
Lyrics
Here we are sitting so close yet you're turning away
Despite being physically close, there's emotional distance as the person turns away.
Wishing that you could avoid what you're now gonna say
Wishing to avoid an impending conversation or revelation.
Outside the city is burning with life
Contrasting the liveliness outside with inner emotional coldness.
Inside it's cold, am I dead or alive
A question about feeling emotionally numb or disconnected.
I don't wanna hear anyone just hold me, hold me and
Seeking comfort and closeness, desiring emotional support.
Turn Out The Light
Desire to turn off external influences or distractions.
Leave all senses behind once more
Escaping from sensory input, perhaps to focus on internal feelings.
Just Turn Out The Light
Reinforcing the need to switch off external stimuli for intimacy.
And love me like you used to love me before
Longing for past affection and closeness in the relationship.
And don't say our love has become just a chore
Concern that love has become a routine or obligation.
So Turn Out The Light
Repeating the desire to shut off external disturbances for emotional connection.
Who needs the light
Rhetorical question challenging the necessity of light in the situation.
I've heard that silence is golden it's not always so
Questioning the value of silence, hinting it doesn't always solve issues.
'Coz we have not had it out with each other at all
Admitting a lack of open communication or resolving conflicts.
Scared of dissent we laid words on the shelf
Fear of disagreement or confrontation, leading to unspoken words.
Hoping a change soon would come by itself
Hope for change without direct effort or communication.
Oh, how could we be so naive
Regret for being naive about losing something valuable.
Just losing the true thing
Expressing the loss of something genuine or authentic.
Turn out the light... a.s.o.
Repetition of the desire to turn off the light to seek resolution.
Truth can be scary, oh how will I get through this blues
Fear of facing the truth and uncertainty about handling emotional difficulties.
Closing my eyes but I must realise that it's true
Acknowledging a need to face reality despite reluctance.
When you say it's too late for us
Recognizing a perceived point of no return in the relationship.
Outside the city is burning with life
Reiteration of the contrast between external vibrancy and internal detachment.
Inside it's cold, am I dead or alive
Repeating the question about feeling emotionally disconnected or numb.
I don't want to hear anyone just hold me, hold me and
Expressing the need for comfort and closeness amid emotional turmoil.
Turn out the light
Repeating the desire to switch off external influences for intimacy.
