The Making of Light Them Up
Lyrics
LIGHT THEM UP
I don’t know how I’m alive. They hunt me down. I’m feeling like a deer that’s in their sights. Here I sit alone, I lay in wait. They say it’s in my mind but their eyes are on me, I can feel them. They won’t have me alive without a fight, I’m gonna light them up.
Leave me alone. You invade my mind. Try to pry me open. Feeding my fear inside. Call me crazy. I feel so alone and anything could happen. I’m clinging to life here. I can solve this, gonna light them up. Give me silence, gonna light them up. I’m taking you with me. Just know, I’m taking you with me.
I’m gonna light them up.
I don’t know who I can trust. They circle me, the vultures all just waiting to collect, and they’ll soon be on me, I can feel them.
Leave me alone. You invade my mind. Try to pry me open. Feeding my fear inside. Call me crazy. I feel so alone and anything could happen. I’m clinging to life here. I can solve this, gonna light them up. Give me silence, gonna light them up. I’m taking you with me. Just know, I’m taking you with me.
I see you in the rain. In my life, I’m insane. In my mind, end it soon. Feel their eyes, every room. In the dark, in the light, all around, they won’t leave me alone. These voices, they echo and run at me, tell me everything, whisper you’ll take me away. A silence is all that I’m asking for. It’s worth fighting for. Soon we will all be no more. The pain of you, and the fear of you, disappear with you. This is all that I need.

Comments & Reviews
Overall, ‘Light Them Up’ is pure excitement and energy. There’s no hectic feel present, it’s as if the track knows exactly what it is doing. As if it all was said and done long before the track even started.
I really like this ever-knowing wisdom connected to the tune. Circling around the theme of a paranoid schizophrenic who’s convinced that he is being watched and hunted, the track manages to transmit this exact uncomfortable feel, but with an overwhelming pressurized undertone.

Neon Fields light the touch paper in standout debut release. ‘Light them up’ is the standout debut from South West UK band Neon Fields. It is 6 minutes 40 seconds in length but unlike some Netflix series, at no point does this seem overstretched or lack periods of quality. It feels like the band take us on an epic journey from start to finish. It doesn’t follow the scripted patterned format that you see in many songs and it holds intensity throughout, evoking anticipation in the masses.

Tonight’s highlight goes to “Bleak”, the third single from Brits Neon Fields. The vocals was what most caught my attention in “Bleak”. Ed Barrett is overwhelming in his interpretation, which shines brightly and breaks through the darkest and most doomed environment, like a ray of hope. Everything is delivered with emotion, and above all, is entirely real. The ever overlapping instrumental accompanies all of this, growing and decreasing in intensity at the right times.
