Lights On (feat. Corey Wilder)

Kyle Allen Music's 'Lights On (feat. Corey Wilder)' presents a playful yet eerie narrative that delves into themes of childhood innocence, fear, and the dichotomy of light versus darkness. The song uses a setting reminiscent of a children's daycare or play area, where the lights staying on symbolize safety and comfort, while darkness brings fear and danger. The lyrics personify the light as a protective figure, urging the children to keep the lights on to avoid the lurking dangers that come with the night.

The song cleverly uses the setting of a daycare to explore deeper psychological fears. References to parents being distracted (the mother at the bar and the father playing golf) suggest a lack of supervision or protection, leaving the children vulnerable to unseen threats. This scenario taps into a universal childhood fear of abandonment and the monsters that seem to appear when the lights go out. The repeated chorus, 'Lights on, keep them up or I'm gone,' serves as a haunting reminder of the need for vigilance.

'Lights On' also touches on themes of rebellion and the consequences of not following rules through the ominous warnings about the 'man in the Moon' and the final declaration of being banned from the daycare for rule-breaking. This adds a layer of moral storytelling, common in children's tales, about the importance of listening to guidance and staying within safe boundaries. The song's playful tone juxtaposed with its darker undertones creates a chilling yet engaging listening experience that resonates with both younger audiences and adults.
