Lights Out
Hollywood Undead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out
You're talking too loud
So just shut your mouth
Who the fuck are you now?

Lights out
Can you feel it now?
We're calling you out
Who the fuck are you now?

Lifestyles of the young and the reckless
Checked in the real world that don't ask questions
Dodging on bullets like a fucked up western
Dragged you on a rope til you're choked out senseless
Kings or crown we're the best around
Got an underground army yeah we holding it down
We built our base and what we found
It takes blood and sweat and always moving the crowd
No skill then you're going the fast way
Let me see you dance on from the AK
Bullshit now he's dropping names,
Who you know, what you doing all sounds the same
A piece of advice quit dropping mine
You're be done way before it even it is your time
Like a stripper in a cage making minimum wage
You're be done like a dollar bill hitting the stage

Lights out
You're talking too loud
So just shut your mouth
Who the fuck are you now?

Lights out
Can you feel it now?
We're calling you out
Who the fuck are you now?

I'm gonna wake your ass up 'cause you ain't got what it takes
You crews ridin' my nuts so tell you how my dick tastes
Yeah I'm shit faced and all black looking creepy
It's Charlie Scene this shit is way too easy
I'm gonna give it to you quick going straight to your throat
Put the burner in your mouth and turn you in to a ghost
All these people making music with nothing to show
Who doesn't have a band? Shit I don't know
What kind of sane person drops his own name
What kind of sane person boos his own band off stage
What kind of sane person drops a verse like this
Damn this ain't working I'm just too damn sick
Just you coming out here has gotten me provoked
I'm gonna cut your ass up like a line of coke
I'm gonna roll your crew up like a fat ass roach
Put you in my ashtray 'cause you just got smoked

Lights out
You're talking too loud
So just shut your mouth
Who the fuck are you now?

Lights out
Can you feel it now?
We're calling you out
Who the fuck are you now?

Another classic case you crash and burn
And it's true you're dead now
It's light out, your last song
The world has turned it's face you'll never find
And it's true you're dead now
It's light out, your last song
Walls are closing in, their falling down

Lights out
You're talking too loud
So just shut your mouth
Who the fuck are you now?

Lights out
Can you feel it now?
We're calling you out
Who the fuck are you now?

Lights out
You're talking too loud
Who the fuck are you now?
Who the fuck are you now?
Lights out

Overall Meaning

The song "Lights Out" by Hollywood Undead is a scathing critique of the music industry, glittering lifestyles of those who obtain fame, and the effect of it all on those who aspire to be famous. This song talks about the shallowness of the industry and how it favors those who are famous over those who have real talent. The repeated refrain 'Lights Out' is a warning to those who are on the path to ruin, who think that fame and success is easy to achieve.


The verses of the song explore the idea of being young and reckless, dodging bullets in a fucked up western world, and building an underground army. The lyrics mention how it takes blood, sweat, and always moving the crowd to be successful in this tough industry. The initial lines suggest that the singer is confronting someone who is taking shots at them, trying to provoke them, or presuming superiority.


The overall message of the song seems to warn the listener to be aware of the music industry's shallowness, to not be carried away by the glitz and glamour of fame, and to remind them that what appears to be success won't necessarily last. The chorus serves as a warning of impending doom, telling those who are talking too loud to shut their mouth, as they will be called out and left in the dark.
