Discover the story of the song > Lights Out – Royal Blood

The song is about a person (the protagonist) who is in a toxic relationship with a partner (her). The partner is described as someone who is always bringing the protagonist down, but also has the power to uplift him. However, the protagonist recognizes that being with her is like being trapped in a cage and wishes to be let go. Despite this, he still feels the pain of the breakup (his eyes burning red) but believes that he can move on from her if he turns the lights out and forgets about her.
