Turn The Lights On
Faded Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there anything left for me to lose?
I try to cut back on the cigarettes.
But God knows I still drink the booze.
Just put me in the ground.
I know I’m gonna die on you if I keep living this way.
I’m still standing in the dark.
Turn the lights on. Turn the lights on.
Don’t leave me alone in here.
You never know what I might do.
I wouldn’t leave me when I say.
My whole life is through.
Just put me in the ground.
I know I’m gonna die on you if I keep living this way.
I’m still standing in the dark.
Somebody turn the lights on.
Turn the lights on. Turn the lights on.
Turn the lights on. Turn the lights on, yeah!
Just put me in the ground.
I know I’m gonna die on you if I keep living this way.
I’m still standing in the dark.
Somebody turn the lights on.
Turn the lights on. Turn the lights on.
The lyrics to Faded Hope's song Turn The Lights On, convey a sense of longing for a guiding light to show them the way out of a dark, perhaps self-destructive, cycle of living. The singer feels that they have been sitting in this same spot for a while, and they wonder whether there is anything left for them to lose. They recognize their vices and the harm that they are doing to themselves, and they try to cut back on some of those behaviors like smoking cigarettes. But they confess that they still drink alcohol, which is having an adverse effect on their well-being. The singer has a desire to be helped, to be shown the light, but nobody is there to listen or help, which can make them feel scared and lost.
The singer's ultimate solution is death, as they say, "Just put me in the ground. I know I'm gonna die on you if I keep living this way." This line suggests that the singer is aware of the consequences of their ongoing behavior, which could be harmful, even deadly. They are seeking help to turn their life around to save themselves before it's too late, "Somebody turn the lights on. Turn the lights on. Turn the lights on." The repetition of the phrase "Turn the lights on" emphasizes the need for guidance and salvation from their situation.
In summary, Faded Hope's song Turn The Lights On is sung from a perspective of someone who is struggling and needs guidance to step into the light. They are aware of their vices and want to change, but are unable to do it alone. They feel trapped in the darkness, and the only solution they see is death. However, they are seeking help and hope for someone to turn the lights on and guide them through their difficult time.

I grew with this song.
I wrote this poem cuz I’m bored
The life in your childhood never fades,
As it lives in your childhood.
Your childhood never fades,
As it lives in your heart.
Mistakes have been made.
Hearts have been broken
Friends have been lost.
Haters have hated.
Yet here you are,
YOU survived through all of that and more
YOU have achieved all your goals
YOU changed your life
AND YOU. are enough.
