Discover the story of the song > Kill the Lights – Set It Off

The song is about someone pretending to be someone they're not, trying to escape reality and hide behind lies. The singer is asking this person to stop pretending and be themselves, even if it means they won't be popular anymore. They're saying that everyone is tired of the fake persona and it's time to "kill the lights", either metaphorically by abandoning the act or literally by ending their own life. The bridge talks about the singer's own struggles but ends on a hopeful note that even death couldn't stop them.
