Red light
It don't matter
Spray it twice
Red light
Bitch just asked me do I wanna fuck her? I said damn right
Nigga you know you dead wrong
Lost the cops, I'm turning right
I done ran my money up and niggas holding money tight
I just got booted off X, she sent the text and I can barely type
Bitch I'm busy as fuck
Please don't call
I could barely Skype
I just got fifty
You just got five
Nigga we not alike
I ain't even mean to break this lil' bitch heart, but she just not my type
Told my young boy creep up out the window he got perfect sight
You ain't even seen no sticks before
You ain't even step outside
Said she ain't never suck dick before
Bitch why the fuck you lying?
Niggas be mice as fuck, 12 ask me? Can't say shit I'm blind
Bitch too nice, what's up?
I got that stick
Bitch I'll take your life
Bitch wanna fuck on young nerd, I told her to come over here
I got the bitch on all fours, now the bitch look like a deer
I gotta get to the drank', can someone go find me a seal?
Walk in the mall and I cop everything, nigga then I disappear
Red light

The lyrics of CUJO A.K.A. AMON TOBIN's song The Light are reflective of one's loneliness and how the moon serves as a solace to the individual. The verse describes the city and its hustle and bustle, burning loneliness away, and a quiet moon that shines its light on everyone. The singer takes a nighttime walk home alone, and as the darkness grows deeper, the moon's light illuminates the singer, creating a spotlight. The chorus repeats "The moon was bright tonight, Look at the moon, so bright, It's shining bright," emphasizing the importance of the moon in the singer's life.
In the second verse, the singer talks about hiding the words they cannot say and repeating them multiple times. The loneliness is still there, and the singer whispers to the moon their secrets, knowing it will keep them safe. Then, the third verse tells a story of a lonely Sunday afternoon, tossing and turning in bed, and randomly shedding tears while contemplating something on their mind. When the memories filling the head are too much to bear, the moonlight seems to knock on the heart to comfort and provide solace to the singer.
Overall, the song's lyrics convey the concept that even when one is alone, they find comfort in the night's sky and the moon. It's almost as if the moon serves as a protector, friend, or guide to provide comfort in tough times.

Moonlight
The illumination from the moon
Moonlight
The illumination from the moon
The moon was bright tonight, oh
The moon was shining brightly tonight
The moon was bright tonight (tonight, tonight)
The moon was shining brightly tonight
Look at the moon
Observing the illumination from the moon
So bright (so bright)
Extremely luminous and shining
It's shining bright (alright)
The illumination from the moon is powerful and illuminating
(It's shining bright, the moon was bright)
The illumination from the moon is powerful and illuminating
The bustling town that glitters everywhere
The town is full of activity and shimmering lights
Gathering sadness and burning in the noise
Feeling melancholy and overwhelmed by the loudness
The moon that quietly illuminates (moonlight)
The moon that gives off a gentle illumination
It's still dark (dark)
Although the moon is illuminating, it is still nighttime and the darkness remains
It's not warm
The temperature is not high or comforting
The way home alone
Traveling home independently
Gradually getting darker
The surroundings are becoming progressively darker
The light of the full moon pouring down
The bright light of the illuminated full moon is shining upon everything
Shining the spotlight on me alone
Directing all attention onto oneself
The words I couldn't say and hid
The unspoken thoughts and emotions that were concealed
Repeatedly whispered to illuminate loneliness
Whispering in order to illuminate the feeling of loneliness
Whispering to the moon
Speaking softly to the illuminating moon
Because it will keep my secrets
Trusting that the moon will safeguard one's secrets
On one Sunday afternoon
One specific Sunday
Tossing and turning on the repeating bed
Difficulty sleeping and feeling restless in bed
On such a day, loneliness sets in
During days like these, feeling emptiness and isolation
For no apparent reason, tears fell (lost in thought)
Unexpectedly becoming emotional and tearful
Just filling my head with gentle memories
Reminiscing and filling one's mind with happy memories
Yet, tonight the moon still floats in the night sky
Despite everything, the moon is still illuminating the sky and shining brightly
Gently knocking on my chest
Causing a gentle stirring in one's heart
The words I want to know
Curiosity about particular topics and questions
What I should already know
Things that one ought to be aware of
The unbearable weight on my chest
The intense heaviness and pressure felt within oneself
Just knowing and understanding
Finding solace in the knowledge that someone else understands
Praying to the moon
Seeking guidance and blessings from the illuminating moon
My wishes will be heard
Believing that one's wishes will come true, as if they are being heard by the moon
