Keep The Lights Down Low
Lights Down Low enters like a night walk through a city that has forgotten how to glow. The guitar stays close to the ground, steady and unembellished, letting the listener feel the dimness that settles over everything. The lyrics do not panic or plead. They simply say what so many know in their bones: the world has lowered its lights and we are losing sight of one another in the dark.
As the song unfolds the voice gains strength. It speaks with the calm authority of someone who has endured long enough to stop whispering. The rhythm thickens. The refrain turns into breath, first gentle, then insistent, repeating the simplest ritual of survival. Not a plea to be saved, but an invitation to keep breathing together. The song understands that connection is not something granted. It is a choice carved again and again against the grain.
The final verse erupts like a signal fire seen from miles offshore. The vocal breaks open, raw and shaking, not because salvation has arrived, but because hope has finally appeared on the horizon. Choirlike layers bloom in the closing choruses, voices widening into a kind of dawn. By the end the darkness has not been defeated. It has simply been named, faced, and walked through. Lights Down Low is a song about the moment you realize the night does not end on its own. You end it by breathing, calling out, and moving toward the light.
Thank you.
