Something Glowing
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Indefinite and definitely dreamed about,
there's something
in my closet, under my bed, but mostly
outside my window.


There's something making noise.
Some terrible kaleidoskull
that ever so gently destroys
the minds of those who believe it.
And though I can't quite perceive it,
I can tell it's there
by the way it's not quite there.


Now there's a lightbulb at the bottom of the sea
that's glowing.
It's like sunlight, the upside-downness of it...
It's saying something.


There's something making light.
No sun, no moon, no weather balloon,
but something purely of the night.
Can't say I know what is in it,
or count the beats per minute.
But I know there's more
washing up upon the shore.


Indefinite and definitely dreamed about,
there's something.

something glowing
something glowing
something glowing

In my closet, under my bed, but mostly
outside my window.

something glowing
something glowing
something glowing

There's something making noise.
Some terrible kaleidoskull
that ever so gently destroys
the minds of those who believe it.
And though I can't quite perceive it,





I can tell it's there
by the way it's not quite there.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Something Glowing" by Lemon Demon are mysterious and intriguing, speaking to the unknown and the supernatural that exists just beyond our perception. The singer is aware of something that is present in their life, both under their bed and outside their window, and it is something that makes noise and emits light. However, the singer is unable to fully perceive or understand this entity, only sensing its presence and its power to influence those who believe in it.


The description of the glowing object as "something making noise" and "something making light" hints at a possible extraterrestrial or paranormal origin. The idea of a "terrible kaleidoskull" that destroys the minds of those who believe in it adds to its otherworldly nature. The singer seems to be both frightened and fascinated by this entity, searching for clues to its nature and purpose.


The mention of the lightbulb at the bottom of the sea is a surreal image that adds to the sense of the unknown and creates a dream-like quality to the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "something glowing" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's obsession with this entity and the mystery it embodies.


Overall, "Something Glowing" is a haunting and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to contemplate the mysterious and unknown elements in their own lives.
