Light
Belle and the Bone People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t let him catch you when the lights go out
Little Red
Don’t let him get you alone
Lure you away
From the stepping stones
Hideaway little Red
It’s the devil you know
Too late little red
Little Red left home
Oh all the better he said
Bang Bang
Kill the voices
In your head
Brick by Brick
Blow me down
Brick by brick
Throw me to the ground
Lay down, face down
You know you want it
Don’t you
Don’t make a sound
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
Brick by Brick
Blow me down
Brick by brick
Throw me to the ground
Lay down, face down
You know you want it
Don’t you
Don’t make a sound
Goodnight Moon
Goodnight Sky
Goodnight I
Say Goodnight
Oh why’d you have to go
And take away my light
Can’t escape from my demons baby
They still rock me to sleep
Rockabye
Living lost in a memory i'm still
Seeing him in my dreams
Louder and louder and louder and loud loud
But they can’t hear me scream
Watching from the ceiling
Begging pleading getting hard to breathe
I know what happens when the lights go out.
I know what happens when the lights go out
I know what happens when the lights go out
I know what happens when the lights go out
Bang Bang
Baby take me away
Bang Bang Bang
Baby take me away
Bang Bang Bang
Can’t feel the pain
Bang Bang
Kill the voices in my head
Brick by Brick
Blow me down
Brick by brick
Throw me to the ground
Lay down, face down
You know you want it
Don’t you
Don’t make a sound
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
It always happens when the lights go out
Brick by Brick
Blow me down
Brick by brick
Throw me to the ground
Lay down, face down
You know you want it
Don’t you
Don’t make a sound
The lyrics of Belle Andrew's "All Those Pretty Lights" talk about a moment that the singer wants to remember forever. She describes someone walking down the street, while the wind blows through their hair and people stare. There's a beating in her chest, that seems to suggest that something good might happen that day. She sits back and writes a sweet story about a boy, a girl, and a never-ending stretch of scenery, like falling on her knees before a stranger on the street. She feels that her words never came out right, but her patience keeps her alive, just like all the pretty lights in the sky. The colors in her head mix to form the perfect shade of sadness.
The verse "And I remember we stayed up way past your bedtime. Up on the 2nd floor, down by my sliding door. Just innocent kids in a victimless crime. Trapped in a metaphor hoping for something more" is about the memory of staying up late with someone, the innocence of childhood, and the hope for something more. The person she's with is someone special and important to her, and she wants to treasure this moment forever.
Overall, the song talks about the importance of cherishing moments and memories that we want to remember forever. It's about hope, patience, and finding beauty in the world around us, with all its pretty lights.
Line by Line Meaning
The wind blows through your hair
As you walk, the wind ruffles your hair.
As you're walking people stare
People notice you as you pass by.
Up the block and down the street
You traverse different areas.
To north kings highway
This is one of the places you go to.
And there's a beating in my chest
Your heart is racing.
And it's seeming to suggest
It seems to point to something happening.
That before this day is through
Something might happen within the day.
It might go my way
Things may turn out in your favor.
So I sit back in my seat
You relax in your seat.
I scribble down something that's sweet
You quickly write something nice.
About a boy, a girl, an endless stretch of scenery
The subject of what you're writing is about two people and a long stretch of land.
'Cause it's like falling to your knees
Writing is like being humbled.
Before a stranger on the street
It feels as if someone unknown is reading your words.
I did it just the other day
You wrote something recently.
You should have seen me
You are proud of what you wrote.
Oh and I wanna remember this night
You want to remember this evening.
And how my words never came out right
Despite trying to write something nice, it didn't come out as perfect.
It's just my patience that keeps me alive
Being patient helps one endure.
Just like all those pretty lights
Patience is like the beautiful lights one sees in the sky.
There's something to be said
There is a message to communicate.
About the colors in your head
Your thoughts and emotions have different colors.
And how they mix to form
These colors blend and create.
The perfect shade of sadness
The emotion you feel is sadness that is perfectly expressed.
Not because of things I've done
Sadness is not caused by anything in particular that you've done.
Or any of the songs I've sung
Nor is it caused by any song you've sung.
It's just the story of our lives
Sadness just seems to be an expected part of life.
We wish we had this
You wish for some things in life that you didn't have.
And I remember we stayed up
You remember staying up for some reason.
Way past your bedtime
You stayed up far later than usual.
Up on the 2nd floor
You were on the second level of a building.
Down by my sliding door
You were close to a sliding door.
Just innocent kids
You were young and innocent.
In a victimless crime
Whatever you were doing, nobody was hurt.
Trapped in a metaphor
What you were doing was akin to being stuck in a metaphor.
Hoping for something more
You wanted something more out of what was happening.
Just like all the pretty lights in the sky.
You cling to hope, just like the beautiful lights in the sky.
