Lights On
Kev.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coat I'm wearings blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mists along the coast
City lights close down
Your empty station there
Train line cuts the ground
Train line cuts the ground
[Chorus]
Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Good is even passin' by, dying not received
Like a fool I hit that road, took my time to see
Life was only foolin' there
Locust Berry burns my love, find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates, I can't get me no peace
Weaker people stand and scream, stumble in the road
Close my eyes, turn off the lights
Timeless, found a dream, timeless found a dream
[Chorus: x2]
The first verse of Kev.O's "Lights On" paints a picture of the setting in which the story of the song takes place. The singer is standing by the roadside, holding a view (possibly a camera or a pair of binoculars), and he's wearing a coat that's blowing in the cold wind. He turns his back to the wind, indicating that he's trying to find some shelter from the harsh weather. He then describes the winter mists that are hanging along the coast, and how the city lights are closing down. He spots an empty train station and observes how the train line cuts the ground, possibly indicating that he's in a rural area where trains are a common mode of transportation.
The chorus of the song talks about a "crystal light" shining bright, and how it should shine down on the singer. He's implying that he's going through a difficult time and needs some guidance. He adds that good things are passing him by, and he's not receiving them. He admits that he hit the road like a fool and took his time to see that life was only fooling him. The second verse talks about how the locust berry (a type of plant) burns the singer's love, making it hard for him to breathe. He then talks about how the hospital shut its gates, not allowing him to have any peace. Weaker people are stumbling in the road, and the singer is forced to close his eyes and turn off the lights. He then finds a dream that's timeless, possibly indicating that he's finding some solace in his dreams.

We're seeing an "Out of Range" message before a green flash of the gateway LED, or anything else on two phones (one iOS, one Android). Factory reset the gateway?

I don't see Kevo Plus as an option in the current version of the Kevo App. Is configuring a Kevo Plus no longer an option?
martygearbox
Deleting the iOS app and reinstalling solved the issue
