Panic! at the Disco - turn off the lights

주인공은 혼자 있는 것에 지쳐 고통과 불안을 안고 있으며, 높은 기대 오히려 현실과의 괴리를 만들어낸다
그는 시간을 투자하며 자신을 이해하고자 하지만, 동시에 내면의 불안과 대면한다
결국, 이 노래는 자기 성찰과 이해의 과정을 담고 있다

I got so sick of being on my own
Now the devil won't leave me alone
It's almost like I've 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?
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn on the charm 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've got
Like the man I know I'm not
Got so sick of wasting all my time
How in God's name did I survive?
(How did I survive?) I need a little sympathy
Disarm my insecurities
Our consciences are always so much heavier
Than our egos
I set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right
