The Crane Wives - Turn Out The Lights (Lyric Video)

To celebrate the release of Foxlore AND Coyote Stories on vinyl, we'll be posting a series of lyric videos highlighting songs from both records!

Full Lyrics:

You don't have to believe every single thought
That tumbles through your head
Just 'cause it sounds like you talking

Sometimes all you can do is say goodnight
And tuck your demons into bed
'Cause they're not worth fighting

Turn out the lights on your racing mind
Turn out the lights on your racing mind

Keep a running list of all your doubts and your dead ends
And when you pull yourself out of bed
You'll taste them on the tip of your tongue

And in the morning when you're standing in the shower
With the water pouring down
You'll dwell on all you ever did wrong

Turn out the lights on your racing mind
Turn out the lights on your racing mind

What good has ever come of it
What answers will you find?
Turn out the lights on your mind
Oh, turn out the lights on your mind
Turn out the lights on your mind

You don't have to believe every single thought
That tumbles through your head
Just 'cause it sounds like you talking

I've never had a favourite band until YouTube blessed me with Curses a year and a half ago. Still jam to these songs

[Lexafied]

As someone who struggles badly with OCD, Intrusive thoughts, and anxiety, I really find this song comforting and helpful for me to listen to. Crane Wives, thank you for all the incredible and beautiful music you’ve made and for doing what you do. ❤

[yuurp.]

In moments of desperation, I hear this song.

[allikillion]

this song has done more to help me deal with intrusive thoughts than my therapist ever did

[pinkymii]

HOW ARE WE DOING OCD GIRLIES


But seriously you guys had a hand in saving my life when my OCD got to its worst, thank you <3

[dayna]

this song is so meaningful to me. i was just crying and feeling shitty and then i opened youtube to see this, great timing.

[dwanimations]

I was actually spiraling for the past 2 hours or so....and now this song completely snapped me out and u know what the song is right i am going to bed goodnight

[goyavoyage]

This lyrics version just popped up as my brain was painfully on overdrive and it's so soothing and fitting to suddenly see the words click into place.
It also feels good to dive back into your songs <3

[gundar-xp]

All the love to this band, just another song to help some of us keep living!❤

[mixitup]

Im so close to sobbing i didnt know yall made a song about intrusive thoughts and anxiety aaaa

[AnnikaPerez-tqhh]

I GENUINELY CANNOT FATHOM how y'all aren't more popular. IM LITERALLY SO OBSESSED w/ y'alls music.

[Joblessmoe]

Your songs make up the majority of my playlist, they are so intricate and meaningful.

[aceofblades]

This hits so hard in just the right way. Love the vibes and message of this one.

[alexderouen]

Every time I listen to this song i smile so big my face splits in half

[CetrouzOfficial]

Another The Crane Wives song I found myself deeply relating to. I hate how I end up having many bad days because of awful thoughts and situations my mind makes up, making me paranoid and anxious. Many nights I slept and many mornings I woke up with intrusive thoughts in my brain.

Saving this one for those bad moments that I need to calm myself down...

[clarab.]

aw yissss another crane wives lyric vid! now we can comment how much WE ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL!

[gudik]

This is genuinely so helpful for me 🙏 ty crane wives for making amazing music

[raisama]

It's wonderful how this music, after I was having some bad anxiety about social stuff, managed to pull me from my own head so easily.

It's the first time I'm hearing this one and I follow the band for years, I don't know how I haven't heard it before but I discovered it in the best way possible lol.

[kali]

Gosh I love this band so much. All of your songs are amazing, and the lyrics are always so full, if that makes sense. Yall are too underrated!

[jenniferbornick]

Of all your songs I've sung and cried since I started listening a few years ago, this first one remains my favorite. I still listen to it any time the voices get a little too loud and it really helps. I get to see you guys in Tampa in April and I just can't wait! I kinda want you guys to play it, but I'll be ecstatic just to be there hearing you guys live. Thank you for making such amazing music and sharing it with us, and I can't wait to see you live! :DDDD
