Light Up Mississippi Lyrics
The silence never changes
In the city with no name
Would you come down after midnight
Leave the rest of us to shame
Why don't we talk to the dead
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies
Why don't we light up anyway
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
You grow up fast and lonely
With the lines to mark your face
Bet you never felt so empty
Have you wasted all your days?
We're you born from the seed of disguise?
Do you pray to become undone?
You're the best of all that you know
So uncover me in the big lights
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Why don't you come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Why don't we talk to the dead
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies, baby
Why don't we light up anyway
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
In the city with no name
Would you come down after midnight
Leave the rest of us to shame
Why don't we talk to the dead
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies
Why don't we light up anyway
As we all watch under big lights
With the lines to mark your face
Bet you never felt so empty
Have you wasted all your days?
Do you pray to become undone?
You're the best of all that you know
So uncover me in the big lights
As we all watch under big lights
Why don't you come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies, baby
Why don't we light up anyway
As we all watch under big lights
As we all watch under big lights

I don't understand what this song means does anyone understand it..help??!!
The songwriter said that it was kind of like the story in 'secret life,' and that 'mississippi' was referring to a girl. When he says 'Come down, mississippi, tonight,' he's telling Mississippi to come out of her shell. Go scott jason <3

A typical Thriving Ivory song about escaping the place you live in and trading it for something more. I love Thriving Ivory
meant to have a period at the end of that sentence

The lead singer said that this song was written about a girl named Mississippi (a fictional girl) who kind of grew up in a bad place and is trying to break free of that. One of my favorite songs.
His coming out song.
