Light's On Lyrics
Somewhere there's a record of your whereabouts
Everywhere you go you leave a trace
You're curled up under the light
With shadows of the fallen
And everyone you've known that's been replaced
But the light's on
And you're waiting for the signal
The light's on
The light's your place to hide
The light's on
You don't know just who your friends are
The light's on
And its light you'll never know
Hanging from the rings around your finger
Hiding from the hammer holding fist
The light's on
Everywhere you go you leave a trace
You're curled up under the light
With shadows of the fallen
And everyone you've known that's been replaced
And you're waiting for the signal
The light's on
The light's your place to hide
The light's on
You don't know just who your friends are
The light's on
And its light you'll never know
Hiding from the hammer holding fist
The light's on

Being lost within urself
(somewhere theres a record of your whereabouts) --memories duh (everywhere you go you leave a trace) --you remember all sots of places (youre curled up under the light, with shadows of the fallen and everyone you know thats been replaced) --you try to stay positive but it doesnt help the ones youve lost (chorus) --but you keep trying to stay positive! it doesnt help cause now you didnt notice someones negativity, because you dont even know them, or your friends (hanging from the rings around your finger hiding from the hammer holding fist the lights on) --didd someone go mad and get a gun because they let all the negativity get to them at once? oh and ps secret machines are fucking amazingly goog, very pink floydish har har har....
As a touring rock band, they know every show they play leaves an impression on new listeners ("Everywhere you go you leave a trace"). Their role as a band is not new... they are only imitating what their influencers did ("You're curled up under the light, with shadows of the fallen, And everyone you've known that's been replaced"). Now it's their time to stand in the spotlight a be judged by the audience against everyone they've been inspired by (Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, Gilbert O'Sullivan, etc.)
