Show Me What Your Lights Mean Lyrics

Cover art for Show Me What Your Lights Mean lyrics by Electric Six

It's about a guy that meets a girl he finds gorgeous, but can't really figure her out. He knows she's the one, but doesn't know how to act around her or what she's thinking. He's also not sure why someone like her is interested in him.

That's emphasized here:

"Asking everyone I know what's wrong with this picture How come it taste so good when it's such a rotten mixture It's not a visa But I'm willing to get flexible"

He's knows there's something wrong with the fact that she's with him. But can't figure it out and she's so perfect he can't say no.

Not sure what the visa line is suppose to mean (if that's correct). Maybe she doesn't have a visa and is using him to get citizenship, but that isn't really represented anywhere else in the song.

Another important aspect is that the girl is probably no good for the narrator.

"And when I heard the sound of the siren start to scream I was blinded by her death ray beam From the heavy metal sex regime"

He's getting signs that he should not mess around with her, because it will likely end bad. But he's blinded by her "death ray beam" light, which is based in her sexuality. She's too hot for him to avoid her.

@hornytheclown I don't think Electric Six lyrics have ever been so "deep." Occam's razor.

@hornytheclown Nah, I believe Dick on this one. You'll hear lots of references to 80s action films in his lyrics, as well as "geeky" sci fi, superhero, fantasy, D&D, etc.

@hornytheclown Sometimes a song is just what it says it is. Tyler is a Sci/Fi watching, D&D playing geek, and in this case, it's more of a Sci Fi short story than anything "deep."
