Lights Out
The Body Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting to hard to know ,if you've made a connection
Tell me how far you'd go when you starved for affection

Your gonna break soon
Locked in the bathroom
With all the lights out
Wait for the come down
You got your own life
You better start today

I know there's something I can do to take the pain away

Living from day to day with the wrong information
But you only talk to me when you're under sedation

You're on the wrong side
You gotta fight more
Not just a phone call
Something to live for
You got your own life
But there's a price to pay

I hope there's something I can do to take the pain away

You cry out, but they never listen





Nothing I can do to take the pain away

Overall Meaning

The Body's song "Lights Out" speaks to the universal experience of loneliness and the search for connection. The opening lines set the stage for the themes of the song, with the singer unsure if they have made a connection with someone despite their desire for affection. The second verse deepens the sense of isolation, with the mention of "living from day to day with the wrong information" suggesting that the singer is struggling to navigate the world around them. The line "But you only talk to me when you're under sedation" gives the impression that the other person in the song only opens up when they are in a vulnerable state, adding an additional layer of complexity to their relationship.


The chorus of "You got your own life / You better start today / I know there's something I can do to take the pain away" is both encouraging and somewhat defeated, with the singer acknowledging that they cannot solve the other person's problems but still wanting to help. The third verse reinforces the idea of needing to fight for oneself, but also suggests that there is a "price to pay" for doing so.

This episode had the perfect length to make a two-layer chocolate drip cake on a Friday night (European time), thanks guys ❤ Also I love this show even more ever since Austin joined, he has the exact level of scepticism that I have, and there have been so many times during episodes where I'm thinking "yeah but..." and then Austin says "yeah but..." and brings up the exact counterargument I had in mind 😂

Angela Molica
