Performed by
Emo Side ProjectAbout
The title of this song is a reference to the short story “A Clean well lighted place” by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway’s writings are highlighted by his takes on war and love and he uses day/night/natural light/artificial light and alcohol as themes very often as well.
A Clean, Well-Lighted Place Lyrics
Old man times are changing so fast
Your past loves are far gone and your thoughts on life have slowed down
The bottle is all that you've got now
But I can see myself in those bloodshot eyes and you were right
We all need to find our own ways to sleep at night
Anyway, I can make mistakes all on my own
I don't need your life to map out how self-pity and regret swallowed you up whole
All I need is for you to know is that it isn't you that keeps me up at night
