Keep The Light On Lyrics

Haven't seen her, she hit the wall last night
Bumped his head low, a cause-effected fight
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(golden ring around her finger)
But she won't ever set him free
(golden ring around his finger)
Come to find out, she'd been with someone else
So it's a bitch now, he sees it in himself
Long before we, teachers of our game
On a bent lord, it tends to get insane
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(golden ring around her finger)
But she's not gonna set him free
He keeps the light on, prepare for war
Severed past gone, it's all the same today
Cannibalistic, eating themselves away
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(golden ring around her finger)
But she's not gonna set him free
'Cause he keeps the light on, prepare for war
He keeps the light on, prepare for war
(golden ring around her finger)
He keeps the light on, prepare for war
(golden ring around his finger)
Fill me
Kill me

Perhaps this is about a marriage gone sour and turned into a perennial grudge match? However the fact that neither will stop the fight perhaps implies they want it to work out? Did you ever know that couple where every time they try to talk things out it just becomes a blame throwing shouting match?

I think it’s about domestic abuse in like the 50’s back when the men had jobs and the women were housewives. He treats her like shit but she doesn’t want to leave him because then she would be homeless.
