Put Your Lights On

I always imagined a serial killer (one of those who somehow feel entitled to "do justice") getting out to kill, warning all the sinners and talking about the voices in his head (the monster under his bed) I've seen plenty of those fanatic nutters.

Beautiful song about the soul, torn between good and evil. My easily frightened 7 year old loves it b/c the imagery of an angel helping her is both powerful and comforting. And it ends with the Arabic words, which mean, there is no god but the One God. Very cool, one of my favorites.

I think Lori kinda got it. The more I listen to it, the more it seems to be talking about the things inside we're afraid or ashamed of. We all have to put the lights on inside us and look at who we are and see if this is how we really want to live and be. Religion tells us that we have nothing to fear because God (or whoever you pray to) will be there for us, but regardless it's so tough and scary to look at who we really are. Children are already innocent from sin in this song, so they leave their lights on, everyone else can't help but sin, we need to turn our lights on and repent for who we are, put light on the monster inside each of us. -Under his bed has the imagery of a place that rarely sees light, the monster/ sins in us, don't get thought about cause we don't like to think about it. -Everlast must have been thinking about how it took a near-death experience to really see how we need to look at our life, so why now write a song to tell everyone body about it. -"hey now" we need to take responsibility and repent for our sins instead of ignoring and hiding the light from them.

this song is freeeakin awesome, love it. i fall asleep to it :]
