Aries is also Spanish musician Isabel Fernรกndez Reviriego. By the time she launched her solo project, Fernรกndez Reviriego had already staked out a solid career for herself. Then we discovered that inside her head there was a melodic, kaleidoscopic, punk and unpredictable universe. A world in which Brian Wilson โin the melodiesโ and Leon Tolstoi โin the law-breaking final messageโ could happily walk hand in hand dancing to electronic rhythms. She called this personal project Aries (her zodiac sign) and under this identity she has already produced four albums. Aries creates an orchestra that generates an exciting mixture of free-jazz, soul and folk rhythms, melodies from the girl groups of the 60s, sunshine pop and experimental electronics.

When the Lights Go Out
Aries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woo, woo
Hmm, yeah
Put my phone on fire, I'm oblivious
I could wear this smile with experience
Tell you everything you like, it'll be a while
Got your head on fire, nothing serious
FaceTime whenever I'm gone out the city
It's a birds-eye sitting on my head like Jimmy
Gone in the dome with you, how you not see me?
When I was young I wanted to bag 'em all
Like her skinny or tall, a race to take them off
Search like a hound when you haven't seen me yet
Put my body in the ground, she's a necrophiliac
I think I had butterflies for a while now
You say you want it for the time
When the lights go ou-ou-out (ooh)
(When the lights go out)
When the lights go ou-ou-out
Raisin' my stakes, paint on my face
Walkin' out slow, leanin' sideways
Tens, twenties, in advances
I been the man, who made it out of Kansas
But she's a west side kitty, bumpin' this ride with me
FaceTime whenever I'm gone out the city
It's a third-eye sitting on my head like Tiana
Lotta foes, lotta friends, blowin' smoke like chimneys
Maybe I could teach you all the difference
Follow me, I'll take you any distance, oh
This my family, my coalition
Who's gon' fuck with me no matter the conditions
(How you not go?)
Yeah, when it's okay mama
Figured I'd stay longer
When I crawl back tomorrow
When the lights go ou-ou-out (ooh)
(When the lights go out)
When the lights go ou-ou-out
Always talkin' 'bout the sun
What does the sun even mean to you? Huh?
You're inside all day, you don't even see it
In the song "When the Lights Go Out", Aries explores the complexities of modern relationships characterized by physical distance and emotional ambiguity. The opening lines narrate the singer's insensitivity to his phone, putting it on fire, which signifies a kind of detachment from the outside world. He appears to have had his fair share of experiences with love and relationships as the singer says, "I could wear this smile with experience." However, he believes that his love interest is worth trying, and though it may take some time, he is ready to tell her everything she likes. Still, her head is on fire, which could mean that the girl is confused and toying with his feelings.
The girl is introduced as a "west side kitty" who accompanies him in his rides and job-related travels. They are connected even when apart, and he can communicate with her through FaceTime. Aries seems to imply that he is in love with this girl, but she is not giving him enough attention, as he says, "How you not see me?" He admits to having a promiscuous past, where he wanted to pursue relationships with any woman he found attractive. He also makes a joke about "necrophilia," a fetish that involves persistent attraction to the dead, implying that the girl has no interest in him sexually.
Throughout the song, Aries repeats the phrase "when the lights go out," which could be a metaphor for the end of the day or the end of life. The artist explores themes of isolation, detachment, and self-discovery in relationships. He expresses a desire to stay longer and enjoy the present while clinging to a sense of longing for his love interest. In the end, the song portrays the idea that relationships are challenging but worth pursuing.
