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.
