Lights Out
Far East Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you in the dark
I see you hi-hi-hiding away
I can feel you in the dark mist
I know the little games you play

I can read your dirty mind
Thinking you got sh-t, won't fly with me
Boy I'm on ya like a polygraph
Love too hard still
This is what I see

I know you when you can't lie
No baby you can't lie
You run but you can't hide
I see you when you're pulling
The world over my eyes
The world over my eyes

Lights out!

(Go crazy, go go go, lights out, go crazy, go go go, go crazy)

Boy I got a PhD
I got a masters in boy-ology
My sidekick psychi call her
What you wanna, but more
I'm on ya
Made you think that she's the one
And she'll wake up and there's you'll gone
You got the matrix in your head
Run it, run over, gather up, play it
But I know you when you can't lie
No baby you can't lie
You run but you can't hide
I see you when you're pulling
The world over my eyes
The world over my eyes

Lights out!

(Go crazy, go go go, lights out, go crazy, go go go, go crazy)

Hide and seek
Made you peek
Put you to sleep, like Quashi
Wrapped by tie around your neck
That's what I call a freak on a leash
Help yourself, got my belt
Torn my pants, straight to hell
All my guns tired of kills
This must be how heaven feels

I know you when you can't lie
No baby you can't lie
You run but you can't hide
I see you when you're pulling
The world over my eyes
The world over my eyes

Lights out!





(Go crazy, go go go, lights out, go crazy, go go go, go crazy)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Far East Movement's song "Lights Out" featuring Junior Caldera and Natalia Kills describe a situation where the singer is able to see through someone's façade and knows what they're really like. The singer can see the other person's true intentions and understands the games they play. The person may think they're fooling others, but the singer sees right through them. The singer even compares themselves to a polygraph, implying that they can detect when this person is lying.


The chorus, "Lights out," adds to the overall ominous tone of the song. It could be interpreted as a warning to the person who the singer is addressing or a declaration that the singer has power over them. The rest of the lyrics contain sexual undertones and aggressive language, indicating a potential romantic or sexual relationship between the singer and the person they are calling out.


Overall, "Lights Out" is a dark, slightly sinister song that explores ideas of power and control in a relationship. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it's clear that the singer knows more than they're letting on.
