Lights Are Low
Injected Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's all go to the underground
Some kind of social lost and found
Check all your baggage at the gate
Makin' sense at six but I won't by eight
Pulled like a magnet to the door
The faces are new but you've seen them before
Spit out the truth that we're scared to say
That's why we come here anyway

I like to live where the lights are low
Sometimes I feel there's nowhere to go
Set you alight and I'll set you free
You never meant that much to me
I like to live where the lights are low

A couple shots and we're feelin' straight
We shoot it up 'cause I hate to wait
We're talkin' shit and we talk it loud
The seedy kids are my favorite crowd
Well write your number down for me
To end up on the floor
I guess it ain't meant to be
What's her name?
Well I'm scared to say
That's why I came here anyway

I like to live where the lights are low
Sometimes I feel there's nowhere to go
Set you alight and I'll set you free
You never meant that much to me
I like to live where the lights are low
Sometimes I feel there's nowhere to go
Set you alight and I'll set you free
You never meant that much to me

What's my game?
You don't want to know
I took too much and I'm feelin' low
Set me free 'cause I'm on my knees
It's such a bitch you're so hard to please

I like to live where the lights are low
Sometimes I feel there's nowhere to go




Set you alight and I'll set you free
You never meant that much to me
