Turn Out the Light

The Music

Turn out the light

Turn out the light
Tell me a story
Does it feel right
We all hate our own lives
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah

How does it feel
When I'm not there
Does it feel right
If he doesn't care
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah

You owe me girl
What you are given
Now his time is up
Used to see
Watch this love fall down
Do you feel it
Well his time is up
You to see
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah

Turn out the light
Tell me a story
Does it feel right
We all hate our own lives
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah
Baby baby baby baby ba ba ba yeah

Give it away [Repeat: x7]
Give it away yeah yeah yeah yeah
Give it away yeah

    Loooooove this song! I'm appalled at the tiny amount of comments for The Music's songs - but this song deserves more than just my recognition. Not really sure what it's about, but theories are very very welcome!

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
