Night Vision
Electric Six Lyrics

You can come and see me
The singer invites the listener to visit them.

But I don't glow in the dark
The singer does not possess a natural luminance in a dark setting.

So you're gonna have to learn to use a little night vision
The listener will need a tool to see in the darkness if they wish to visit the singer.

Then you must decide
The listener must make a decision.

Who resides in your heart
The listener must discern who or what their heart truly desires.

And baby I know that's not an easy decision
The singer empathizes with the difficulty of the listener's decision.

Oh, I went bananas
The singer became highly emotional.

When I spoke with you on the telephone
The artist had an intense conversation with the listener over the phone.

I feel you lie telling me you're all alone
The artist suspects that the listener is lying about being alone.

'Cause there's demons in you
The artist believes the listener has inner demons.

And there's demons in me
The singer admits to having inner demons as well.

Is it too dark for you to see?
The artist questions if the listener can perceive the truth in the darkness around them.

Now you don't want to hear it
The listener is reluctant to receive a particular message.

But it's time that you realize
The singer thinks the listener needs to come to a realization.

That your eyes aren't being properly utilized
The listener is not fully utilizing their sight or perception.

You can turn off the television
The artist recommends turning off the TV.

You can turn off the lights
The artist recommends turning off the lights.

But you can't hide from the darkness of your lies, woah
The singer believes lies cannot be hidden from the truth, even in darkness.

There is a lunatic who lives in the center of your mind
The singer hypothesizes that the listener has an irrational or illogical aspect to their personality.

He's eating you and leaving this insanity behind
The irrational part of the listener is causing them to become insane.

And he's taking over you
The irrational part of the listener is becoming more dominant within them.

And he's taking over me
The irrational part of the listener is also affecting the artist.

Is it too dark for you to see?
The singer questions if the listener can perceive the negative influence within themselves and the singer.

You can come and see me in the dark

(If you use night vision)
The listener will need to use night vision to visit the singer in the dark.

Don't need no fire and no spark
The singer suggests that a romantic gesture such as lighting a fire or providing spark is unnecessary.

Give this love a kick start
The singer wants to revitalize their relationship with the listener.

(If you use night vision)
The listener will need to use night vision to visit the artist in the dark.
