Neon lights
ZULAGE.K Lyrics

Neon lights
The bright lights of the city at night

She's headed to the neon lights
She is going to the city to escape her current situation

She's running from the spot lights
She wants to avoid the attention and pressure of fame

Body's glowing under strobe lights
Her body is illuminated by the flashing lights of the club

She's says she's from the south side
She comes from a rough area where danger and poverty are common

Where the scores low and risks high
The crime rate is high, and opportunities are scarce

Just trying to get by
She is working hard to survive in a difficult environment

She's not just flirting
She is serious about her goals and aspirations

She's got plans for the future
She is determined to succeed and make a better life for herself

She's not just twerking
She is not simply using her body for attention or money

Pastor's daughter got a dream now
She comes from a religious background, but has her own dreams and ambitions

She's trying to sing now
She has a talent for singing and wants to pursue it professionally

But she's blinded by the scene now
She is overwhelmed and distracted by the glamorous lifestyle of the city

She's making scenes now
She is creating drama and attracting attention

She said I'm gonna go out tonight
She is determined to enjoy herself and live in the moment

Out tonight
She is going out for the evening

Be wise
A warning to be careful and think about the consequences of her actions

Got to leave
She wants to escape the pressures of her current situation

But them neon lights keep drawing me
She is tempted and fascinated by the bright lights of the city

They make me free
She feels liberated and independent when she is in the city

But don't you bite the apple Eve
A reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, warning her not to fall into temptation

Don't be deceived
A warning not to be tricked or misled

I know you love the lights
She is aware of her own attraction to the bright lights of the city

But the bill ain't free
There are always consequences and costs associated with indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle

You keep running
She is constantly trying to escape her problems and find a better life

To your next man
She is using men to support herself financially

I ain't mad you chasing cash
He doesn't blame her for trying to make money

Yea you making bands
She is earning a lot of money

Just know them lights you standing in
She should be aware that the flashy, glamorous lifestyle she is living is not sustainable

Yea they not your friends
The partying and reckless behavior is ultimately harmful to her well-being

Don't want to see them strobe lights glow on you again
He doesn't want to see her get hurt or fall into the trap of the city lifestyle again

Is that selfish to be
He wonders if it is selfish to try to protect her from herself

Did the love turn to pain
He is questioning whether their relationship has become painful and problematic

Did that pain turn to grief
He is wondering if their problems have escalated to a point of deep sadness and regret

Are you hurting yourself
He is concerned that she is self-destructive

Just to get back at me
He suspects that she may be acting recklessly to spite or hurt him

Is this all in my head
He is questioning whether his concerns and fears are justified or imagined

Or is this reality
He is considering the possibility that his worries are based in truth and their relationship is in trouble

They catch your eyes
The bright lights of the city are visually striking

They tantalize
They are alluring and tempting

But do you know the price
She should be aware of the negative consequences that come with indulging in city nightlife

Yea you need to know the price yea
It is important for her to understand the costs of reckless behavior before engaging in it
