Flash Light Lyrics

Lyric discussion by superlou 

Cover art for Flash Light lyrics by Parliament

its a song about getting happy bro , analytically he says most of all he needs the funk.. help him find the funk. the flashlight is metaphor for finally seeing something out of total darkness i think.

Wrong.

The comic book inside the album cover tells the whole thing explicitly.

Super-villain Sir Nose D'voidofunk (devoid of funk) terrorizes the ghetto. He might be a pimp. He carries a sawed-off shotgun and hides behind a mask. Starchild comes down from space to change people like him and make them happy instead of being tough during the day and crying alone all night.

Starchild is Clinton himself, and that's how he sees himself when he brings music to the people. Liberating them from their own fear and need to put on a tough thug persona for his victims in...

Song Fact

@FayeKane How is it wrong when superlou stated that it might be about getting happy? You stated Starchild comes down from space to make them \'happy\'.... ????โ€โ™‚๏ธ
