The lyrics to DJ Snake's song "When The Lights Go Down" appear to be about a person who is waiting for someone they care about to return. The repetition of the line "You been gone, I wait in vain" emphasizes the singer's sense of loss and longing. The use of "hold on" and "I'll be right there" implies that the person they are waiting for will eventually return, but the repeated lines suggest that this waiting has been going on for some time.
The lyrics are somewhat ambiguous, leaving open the possibility of multiple interpretations. It could be about a relationship that is on hold due to distance or circumstances, or it could be about someone who has passed away and the singer is waiting for them to return in spirit. The line "When the lights go down" could refer to a specific time or situation associated with the person they are waiting for.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of hope and persistence despite the singer's feelings of loss and uncertainty. The repetition of the lines creates a sense of rhythm and urgency, reinforcing the message that the singer will continue to wait for the person they care about.
