The song that most directly references the album title, Black Light is Tyler’s exploration of exposing ones true self – either forcefully through religious tribunal (in which case the ‘black-light’ is the one used to expose hidden misdeeds and imperfections – think CSI) or willingly through uninhibi...
[Verse 1]
Change is good, we're not touching, but I wish we would
We could start now, is it crazy that you're on my couch?
Everything you're saying's what I'm saying
Love and life and excommunication
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll go and turn the lights
I like them low at night
I could tell you what I'm thinking
I gotta tell you what I'm thinking
[Chorus]
Oh, say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray, I don't pray the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light baby
(Under the black light, black light)
Oh, stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light baby
(Under the black light, black light)
[Verse 2]
Lose my mind, trouble seemed to be a friend of mine
Could we keep the faith? I really want to but I can't see straight
Everything you're saying's what I'm saying
Love and life and miscommunication
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm ready for the real
Man, life is so surreal
I can tell you what I'm thinking
I'm gonna tell you what I'm thinking
[Chorus]
Oh, say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray, I don't pray the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light baby
(Under the black light, black light)
Oh, stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light baby
(Under the black light, black light)
[Bridge]
Fortune favors the brave
Things are getting weird but I like it
Please, please say I'm not insane
Things are getting weird but I like it under the black light
[Chorus]
Say that you're feeling what I'm feeling too
Pray, I don't pray the way I used to
Oh, something's taking over me
You got me under the black light, baby
(Under the black light, black light)
Oh, stay, come and be my daily ritual
Play, we'll break the rules like back in school
I want you under, under, under me
I want you under the black light, baby
(Under the black light, black light)
[Outro]
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
