Tally Hall - Turn The Lights Off
[Verse 1]
Don’t go in there, you’ll become one
Freaky creatures, monster party
Eyes of yellow, scales and feathers
Tails and tethers, turn the lights off
Bend the nightmare, you control it
Artful dodger, easy does it
Shut the closet, get under the covers
Snakes and lovers, turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Everybody likes to get taken for turns
To see how bright the fire inside of us burns
And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light
[Verse 2]
Here’s the pinky, there’s the kinky
Everybody, complicated
Man and woman, baby child
Calm and wild, turn the lights off
Don’t remember (Day’s gone), what we look like (Night’s on)
Younger holding (Day’s gone), one another (Light’s passed)
Paper colors, (Day’s gone), dangle streaming (Night’s on)
Tangle screaming (Light’s gone), turn the lights off
"Turn The Lights Off" describes the path through puberty and adolescence. The animation for the song depicts an innocent youth discovering himself and his surroundings. Starting at 0:55, his tentacle arm and the mirror scene may be showing that he is uncomfortable or anxious about his body and the changes he is going through. The start of verse 4 describes the boy's acceptance for himself, and the introduction of love and relationships. The song's lyrics show that we still have insecurities, senseless fears or things that we think are embarrassing and actually aren't.
