Turn Off The Light
Kim Petras Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight
Under moonlight
Chills down your spine
Fear in your eyes
Feelin' malicious
Heard you like it vicious
All your dirty wishes
We were made to do it

C'mon
Are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it

If you're looking for a fright
And you wanna do it right
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

If you wanna take a bite
Wanna see the dark side
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

Hot stuff
Know you like it rough
When I put it on ya, you'll never get enough
Feelin' the pressure
The pain turns into pleasure
Ooh, I'm gonna get ya
Ooh, I'm gonna get ya

C'mon
Are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it

If you're looking for a fright
And you wanna do it right
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

If you wanna take a bite
Wanna see the dark side
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

Ooh, ahh
Ooh, ahh
Ooh, ahh
Ooh, ahh

Only in the darkness will you find your true self
Howl at the moon to awaken your spell
One cannot judge what the eye cannot see
Outside the realm of humanity
Embrace your fear, don't dare to run
Only then will you be what you're meant to become

If you're looking for a fright
And you wanna do it right
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

If you wanna take a bite
Wanna see the dark side
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light

If you're looking for a fright
And you wanna do it right
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light (turn off the light)

If you wanna take a bite
Wanna see the dark side
C'mon, turn off the light
C'mon, turn off the light (yeah, yeah)

Ooh, ahh
Ooh, ahh




Ooh, ahh
Ooh, ahh

I'm dying, she's bringing back the good days of pop and I'm living for halloween vibes, and it's with ELVIRA!!

@reinachrissy

the dark pop princess I love her!

@Diegrinch84

Why isn't there a music video of this song?????? The whole album is FABULOUS!!!

@LisaMarieParadee

Iwas thinking the same thing, especially since the song has Elvira in it. Just seeing her appear longing on her iconic black couch in a music video would be cool.
