Set It Off – Kill The Lights lyrics

Set It Off – Kill The Lights lyrics

You reside in grand disguises
Just to get, get away from it all
Falsify the life you're hiding
Just to get, get away from it all
But the truth we pursue as we all beg you to

Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up
Whoa, whoa oh

Shut your mouth, you make me sick with
All the lies, all the lies that you spill
Slip and fall, I'll watch you drown in
All the lies, all the lies that you spill

As you're tongue-tied, did you believed it?
False pride never existed
Now I am cutting ties clean off
And I can breathe at last

So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call
And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to

Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up
Whoa, whoa oh

Don't even think about it
Don't even think about it, no
We're begging you
To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
Or kill us all

Stop there and peer inside of me
You'll find a man once lost at sea
But all the while I would think to myself
It's not the end, it's not the end at all

So sick of nothing going right
Sail on along into the night
Not even death could stand in the way
You never even tried in the first place

Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up
Whoa, whoa oh

Don't even think about it
Don't even think about it, no
We're begging you
To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
Or kill us all
Or kill us all
Or kill us all

I’ve been the person the song is about. It’s about someone who pretends to be better than everyone else and hides their past to deal with their pain, to the point where they become too full of themselves (the spotlight drives you up.) The singer is either a partner or friend/family member who can’t deal with this behaviour anymore.

I think this song does have different meanings but in my experience I think it means that a person is begging someone to cut the act because they're so sick of that person being toxic to them that they're just begging them to stop 'cause they can't deal with the 2-sided facade to the person they're singing to.

to me this song is about how being in the spot light can corrupt a person. But, there might be a different meaning. It might also be a song about someone dealing with a liar. Someone who lies and abuses, putting on a constant show. Perhaps like an abusive parent? .Or just an overall toxic person and breaking free while asking them to quit the act.
