Lights
Teens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever since the lights came on I've been trying to find to find the sun
But the recent detainees think something has come over me
Since the Lights came on, I swear it's gotten darker
When its clear your never comin back and the dust covers up your tracks
Will I finally get some sleep without you, watching over me?
Since the lights came, I last saw you down by the liquor store
You said rough times were coming and something else i chose to ignore

They did not set fire to the rain but they succeeded in lighting their car on fire haha.

@CaptainDiarrhea9000

Me and my family came around a bad accident in Boone, Iowa today. There were also many burglaries in the north side of the town. 2 people were arrested.

@Eric345

Y'all should start a new series of y'all debunking fake videos made out to be real.

@lilag8850

Go to Bills Channel. Problem solved

@seaservalroyalty

on January 27 this year, can't say I witnessed it because I didnt see everything, but my dad hit a deer. I was so scared all I saw was the deer in the headlights and my bag flying forward. That and the pain from the being forced forward into a locked seatbelt.

@DocbritoFMF

So fake maybe, however if it is then the fire was real and they added them selves in the car. The let's call them thermal dynamics of the fire are extremely accurate, which makes me question the it's fake theory. The ceiling of that vehicle is sagging which would suggest an older vehicle, as that tends to happen with age. Materials used back then were poly blends and synthetics which are highly flamable and burn/melt like plastic under neath that fabric is a insulating foam also flamable. The fire starts burns threw burns under and then fully ignites which is accurate. Then you notice black material falling down onto the seats which would be the melting polycarbons that type of fire produces.. so the fire is accurate extremely accurate. As for if they were really in the car idk.. let's say for a second they were, the smoke would be toxic they'd be choking pretty quick and the heat would become intense they would definitely have received some burns.. as for getting trapped the potential scenario is the locks are automatic and the car is in drive so the electrical locks won't unlock even from the switch till the car was put into park, option two the doors where just locked an in the panic they weren't thinking straight enough to open them, and last theory friends that escaped were trying to help and at the same time they were trying to open the doors and fighting against each other, like when your shouting open the door but also holding the latch so its not unlocking... so the theory of it being real is possible but if it isn't then they did amazing work creating it.

@emleekitten

There was a car in flames in the middle on the road on the highway and we had to drive pay it really quick and you could feel the heat inside the car

@blossomskate2956

it wasn't supposed to be real but they actually got stuck in the car. they said it them selves. they even said the camera burned.

@gkiller8168

It's gotta be a slow news day, how did they miss the part where it's fake if they're a news crew?
