The Uglylights
Lunic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the uglylights on, I'm tired of pretending
See what's really here in front of you
No one around
Lost and unfound
I'd like to go home, too
It's all make believe, a million little dolls
looking perfect in the shadow of your perversions
Black and white
Wrong and right
Our own lewd diversions
I'm so lost I can't see
Pretense is blinding (me)
And in the uglylights your conscience shines bright like a diamond in dirt
Reflections invading the weary eyes of those who thought it wouldn't hurt
But it burns a hole straight through
And at once it occurs to you that you're lost, but they're all lost too
Turn the uglylights on, blow the mystery away
with the smoke from your filthy lips
Figure out how I got here so the part of me that's gone numb
can finally be fixed
I'm so lost I can't see
Pretenses blinding (me)
And in the uglylights you give it away like a handshake to a stranger
The touch that connects the demon claws to more than just skin on a sultry angel




And it burns a hole straight through
And at once it occurs to you that you're lost, but they're all lost too

Overall Meaning

In the song "The Uglylights" by Lunic, the artist expresses the desire to reveal the truth and stop pretending. The opening line "Turn the uglylights on, I'm tired of pretending" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The artist wants to see things for what they really are and not hide behind false pretenses. The line "No one around, lost and unfound, I'd like to go home, too" highlights the artist's feeling of alienation and longing for a place of comfort and familiarity.


The song also touches on themes of perception and morality. The line "Black and white, wrong and right, our own lewd diversions" suggests that what might seem black and white, or right and wrong, to one person may be completely different for another. The artist feels trapped in a world of illusion and disconnected from reality. The line "Pretense is blinding (me)" highlights this feeling of being lost and unable to see clearly.


The chorus of the song takes on a more introspective tone, as the artist reflects on the consequences of living in a world of falsehoods. The line "But it burns a hole straight through, and at once it occurs to you that you're lost, but they're all lost too" suggests that the artist has come to the realization that everyone is hiding behind their own masks and struggling to find their way in the world.
