Nightlight Lyrics

When the wind, behind our eyes swell
Starring down all, who generalize well
A chemical change of the spirit
Will be the exchange for our visit

Putting more makeup on the masks that we wear
Turning our nightlights on in the daytime to scare

If we say that (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If it's a game, well (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out

If we enter, through the front door
With the keys we stole the night before
Now we have right to be the masters
Of the tingles of disaster

Ladies and gentlemen it's time to beware
If this is the moment now to ask do we dare?

If we say that (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If it's a game, well (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If we survive this (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
So dedicated (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out

Turning our nightlights on in the daytime to scare
If this is the moment now to ask do we dare?

If we say that (we want it)
If we say that (we want it)
If we say that (we want it)
If we say that (we want it, we want it)

If we say that (we want it)
If it's a game, well? (we want it)
If we survive this (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If we say that (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If it's a game, well (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
If we survive this (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out
So dedicated (we want it)
We only want it with the lights out

Cover art for Nightlight lyrics by Silversun Pickups

"It's a very devilish song, its sort of about facination with the fact that there are people in existence that all they really want is something that should easily be thought of as equality… and the only thing you need to be to attain that is a human and breathing. And I think it's very facinating that people ask for so little, and other people think that its so crazy and they have to slowly move with it when the real idea of it is... this is insane. Everybody should literally have the world. So this song is a little bit of play up on the fact people tend to demonize these things. So i had this idea of giving in to what they think we are, we're coming for you, and if you think that, then we will." Brian Aubert
