As far as bracketed bit goes, I think you're close. Instead of "Leading lights on turn them off", I think it's "Leaving lights on, turn them off." There is a d sound which may indicate leading over leaving, but I think Tunde muffles the word a bit and it's leaving. That and leaving makes a hell of a lot more sense.

This was a tough, rewarding song to transcribe. Context and theme determined almost all of the ambiguity, but there's still one uncertain point.
Any ideas on the bracketed bit?

That's a good guess. I was thinking "Left the lights on . . . " because it makes more sense lyrically, but there doesn't seem to be enough of a pause.

My only hesitation is that the whole song is very lyrically tight, and all of these metaphors are flabby. I have no idea.

But a great song.
