Kill The Lights
The Glorious Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have a last cigarette and leave one out for the mornin'
Kill the lights babe, I'm too damn tired
We can't fuck tonight, I work the double tomorrow
Kill the lights and baby shoot that gun
Kill the lights and baby write this wrong
We got married and I don't remember
Because I didn't want the summer to end
Her daddy had some money that he could lend us
So she took me to Paris
To try and make me a renaissance man
We were young bloods, searching for something
Spent youth on the dream of love
We were too close to see it coming
Now I'm running from the things that we were dreaming of
Kill the lights and put your nightdress on
Have a last cigarette and leave one out for the mornin'
Kill the lights babe, I'm too damn tired
We can't fuck tonight, I work a double tomorrow
Kill the lights and lady kill the fire
I'm coming undone, I'm not even here when I'm not gone
Kill the lights and baby shoot that gun
Kill the lights and baby write this wrong
We woke up when the summer had ended
Yeah the bed went cold
And everything was falling down
We spent so much of our time pretending
Now we're together alone
So it goes
We were young bloods, searching for something
Spent youth on the dream of love
We were too close to see it coming
Now I'm running from the things that we were dreaming of
Kill the lights and put your nightdress on
Have a last cigarette and leave one out for the mornin'
Kill the lights babe, I'm too damn tired
We can't fuck tonight, I work a double tomorrow
Kill the lights and lady kill the fire
I'm coming undone, I'm not even here when I'm not gone
Kill the lights and baby shoot that gun
Kill the lights and baby write this wrong
Kill the lights on me
Kill the lights on me
Darling, kill the lights on me
Kill the lights on me
Kill the lights on me
Kill the lights on me
Kill the lights on me, yeah
Kill the lights and put your nightdress on
Have a last cigarette and leave one out for the mornin'
Kill the lights babe, I'm too damn tired
We can't fuck tonight, I work a double tomorrow
The Glorious Sons' song "Kill The Lights" tells the story of a couple who got married when they were young and full of dreams, but as they grew older and reality set in, their relationship fell apart. The chorus "Kill the lights and put your nightdress on / Have a last cigarette and leave one out for the mornin'" suggests a sense of finality and a desire to move on from their past. The line "Her daddy had some money that he could lend us / So she took me to Paris / To try and make me a renaissance man" reflects their youthful naivety and ambition, but also hints at a sense of entitlement and a need for external validation.
As the song progresses, the sense of disillusionment and regret becomes more palpable. The line "Now we're together alone / So it goes" suggests a resigned acceptance of their situation. The repeated refrain to "kill the lights" can be interpreted as a metaphor for ending the relationship, and the line "I'm coming undone, I'm not even here when I'm not gone" suggests a sense of being trapped between the past and the future.
Overall, "Kill The Lights" is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of love and relationships, and the struggles that come with growing up and facing reality.

My love, turn off the lights on me
Kill the lights on me, yeah
