All of the Lights Lyrics

All of the lights (all of the lights)
(Lights, lights) all of the lights
Turn up the lights in here baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need
Want you to see everything
Want you to...

    Don't they say "until it's vegas everywhere". Isn't vegas sin city. And arent the illuminati about corruption?

    ("most") of you guys are wrong this is a song about fame fortune and w/e else goes along with being famous but if you listen and watch "carefully" satan is the one rapping in this song kanye quotes: "im headed home im almost there im on my way headed up the stairs to my suprise a ni**a replacin me" this means he was coming up in the inustry ignorant and once he got up them stair / is at the top of his game satan/illuminati brain washed him and they are now using him and many other artist as puppets to build satans so called army.
    and clearly its working for him judgeing by all the comments and views on you tube
    "most" of you are idiots cuz the devil is mocking u in your face but ppl are too ignorant to know tht hes mocking god through all these artist Lady Gagas music vid alejandro is proof satan has taken charge in the music industry also if u notice hype at the end quoting over and over im gettin mine u should go n get ur own meaning satans gathering his souls n god needs to get his own (also notice he pointing at the light which reps god)and did any of you guys maybe wonder why near the end all these other artists names start popping up? its cuz theyre illuminati puppets too (the easiest way to interpret satanic songs is imagine the devil is singing to you not the puppets)

    The "eye" nigga dead dude is wrong, he actually says "Our Nigga dead", true that the illuminati is the theme of the song, He might be telling us that the illuminati has a huge part in Michael Jackson's passing on "Something wrong....I hold my head, MJ gone...a nigga dead" the part about beating his girl is definitely a reference to Chris Brown and Rihanna, and probably that the fact that Chris might have rejected the illuminati or was not accepted into it and thus his career headed south after a conspiracy against him Rihanna as we all know is a protege of Jay-Z and is thus a member just look at her videos, the rest is about dealing with the fame and the struggles of leaving the illuminati, His album is basically an insight into the illuminati..."no one man should have all that power"..."everybody knows I'm a motherf**king monster" etc. Good luck leaving it Kanye, though he might not survive

    If all of that is true, kanye west must be a living incarnation of the devil!!!! I mean, lights must mean a negative thing instead of the demons he dealt with (aka alcoholism and drug abuse) before he came into the light ("no more drugs for me, pussy and religion is all I need"). Right? Cause light is scary and dark isn't. Wait a minute...

    Agree with the chris brown referencing. The first bit about MJ as well. We all saw him cry on stage during the funeral

    I believe the song must have some lyrically meaning towards Chris Brown, after he says "I hit that girl... I did my time, I spent that bread". Kanye hasn't hit any women lately and he is very close to Rihanna who is also a major vocalist in the track. Chris brown did also "do the time" as he was sent to prison for hitting Rihanna. There are several other references within the song but again this may all be coincidence :)

    Kanye is part of the illuminati, the song all of the lights refers to just that. When he says if you want it you can get it for the rest of your life, he is referring to those things the illuminati are aiming for which is to take over the world. To illuminate means to make brighter which is why he wants to turn up the lights....smh

    Heartbreaking, and yet a painfully realistic story of adultery and a family spiraling out of control because of it.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
