I don't wanna be your angel
You're hypnotically my type
When you get a little oh
Won't you slip into my thighs?
Help me get a little mental
Go 'head, whip the goldmine
I like it when it coming, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Rushing round, tie me down
Take it off with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get me blind, hypnotized
Don't be shy with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
You say I'm loud, screaming out
Shut ya mouth with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get to know, you let me show you
What I know with the lights on, lights on
I don't care 'bout what you like
If you're willing and you're able
There's no need to cut the ties
You put electric in my cable
Oh, your pride, it gets me high (gets me high)
So pin it on me like a label
No, I don't care 'bout what you like
(Ay, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Rushing round, tie me down
Take it off with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get me blind, hypnotized

You say I'm loud, screaming out
Shut ya mouth with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get to know, you let me show you

Ooh, beautiful chaos
Why does the pendulum always swing right back to you?
Am I a quick fix?
Up to your old tricks
Shelter in the storm (ah)
Rushing round, tie me down
Take it off with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get me blind, hypnotized
Don't be shy with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
You say I'm loud, screaming out
Shut ya mouth with the lights on, lights on (lights on)
Get to know, you let me show you
What I know with the lights on, lights on
The lyrics of Izzy Bizu's song "Lights On" appear to be about a sexual encounter between two lovers who want to indulge in their desires with the lights on. The singer, presumably Bizu, is confident and unapologetic about what she likes and is willing to take control by commanding her lover to "slip into [her] thighs" and "whip the goldmine." She revels in the sensation of being tied down and blindfolded and wants her lover to experience everything with the lights on.
The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the importance of keeping the lights on during their time together. The singer wants to feel seen and exposed because, as the song suggests, it might be something they're not used to. Furthermore, the bridge of the song brings up the doubts and questions about the relationship, such as whether the singer is just a temporary pleasure, but the overall emphasis of the song remains on the physical connection between the two lovers in the moment.
Overall, the song speaks about enjoying oneself in the moment without worrying about the consequences of one’s actions. If nothing else, this track is a straightforward testament to the sensual and thrilling experience of sex.

I don't care ’bout what you like
I don't wanna be your angel
You're hypnotically my type
When you get all that and, oh
Won’t you slip into my thighs?
Help me get a little mental
Go 'head, whip the gold mine
