Black Light
Tyler Glenn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wish we would, we could start now
Is it crazy that you're on my couch?
Everything you're saying's what I'm saying
Love and life and excommunication
I'll go and turn the lights
I like them low at night
I gotta tell you what I'm thinking
Oh, say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray I don't play the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light, baby
Stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light, baby
Lose my mind
Trouble seems to be a friend of mine
Could we keep the faith?
I really want to but I can't see straight
Everything you say is what I'm saying
Love and life and miscommunication
I'm ready for the real
Man, life is so surreal
I can tell you what I'm thinking
I'm gonna tell you what I'm thinking
Oh, say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray I don't play the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light, baby
Oh stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light, baby
Fortune favors the brave
Thing are getting weird but I like it
Please, please say I'm not insane
Thing are getting weird but I like it
Under the black light
Say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray I don't play the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light, baby
Stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light, baby
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
In Tyler Glenn's song "Black Light," the lyrics describe a desire for change and a newfound attraction to someone.

The singer is willing to let down their guard and be their authentic self, even if it means losing their mind along the way.

Medusa Hail
100% my favorite song on the album
Medusa Hail
midnight is a close second tho
beverly carlson
midnight is exceptional! I remember when I first took the huge step to remove my magic undies 50 years ago. I felt identical to how your music depicts my anger, my pain and my absolute joy in breaking those chains that had bound me for so long. thank you, Tyler, thank you!
Rosa Douglas
I'm in love with you Tyler Glenn your such an amazing singer !!!!!
ChrisVigilante
This really might be my favorite album of the year.
carloscream
This DEMANDS a video. Sexy, full of religious references (crosses, pentagrams, candles), full of black and white furniture and clothes...
minxymoo232

Gustavo Zavala
This should get a heck of more recognition! So artistic and inspiring
