Discover the story of the song > Keasbey Nights – Streetlight Manifesto

The protagonist is reminiscing about a time when they accidentally cut their finger while doing something in the backyard. They recall feeling like they'll never hurt themselves again, but things didn't turn out how they thought it would. They also reflect on their youth and how people didn't care about them back then. The protagonist appears to be contemplating taking their own life, as they sing about sitting at their desk with a gun and a bulletproof vest, knowing they'll die by the end of the night.
