Turn off the lights, turn off the lights Turn on the show for me tonight I've got my heavy heart to hold me down Once it falls apart my head's in the clouds So I'm taking every chance I got Like the man I know I'm not So sick of wasting all my time How in gods name did I survive I need a little sympathy To sore my insecurities Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos I set my expectations high So nothing ever comes out right So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight I think I'll figure it out with a little more time But who needs time. ![]() I got so sick of being on my own Now the devil won't leave me alone It's almost like I found a friend Who's in it for the bitter end Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos I set my expectations high So nothing ever comes out right So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight I think I'll figure it out with a little more time But who needs time. He did get a whole lot of sympathy and shit from people after Jon and Ryan left, I think this part is just saying that he wanted all the sympathy he could get to hide all the insecurities he had.Turn Off The Lights lyrics song lyrics music Listen Song lyrics Turn Off The Lights lyrics lyrics But this could be a range of people such as ex band members (Brent, Ryan, Jon), Maybe Pete (DecayDance) and FueledByRamen (he could feel that the band breaking up was caused by himself and feels that he has disappointed them) but maybe more importantly the fans (I think its more about the fans than anything)Ĭould be him thinking about his big expectations for the band in its infant stage (just signing, first album, fists tour and all that jazz) and he feels that it all gone wrong now that two members are gone. General CommentI wouldnt go as far as saying this is strictly about his dad but I think it really is about how he has let down people, which yes would include his dad. This interpretation may not make the most sense, but I hope you understand how I see it. but to me this song is about expectations, loneliness, and takings chances. Seems to mean that hes going to take chances and he what he wants because afterwards he may go insane or a less dramatic form because he'll be back where he started. "how in god's name did I survive?" seems to be obvious as to how did he survive my past actions.Īlso the part of: "Once it falls apart my heads in the clouds and even though he's taking them now to, he thinks and believes just wont live up to the expectations. He (like most of us) sets his expectations high and because of that he always failsīecause of this he stops caring, he'll take all the chances he wants (like being with this girl:Īnd by the line: "like the man I know I'm not"Ī "man" in his view would take these chances. His consequences are literally worse than his ego because his ego got him there and the consequence is affecting things now. He's at one point so desperately alone he turns to "the devil". My InterpretationI believe this song (in general) is about being alone. Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah ![]() ![]() ![]() Once it falls apart my heads in the cloudsĪ heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, oh I think I'll figure it out with a little more time Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos
