Lights in the sky

"Lights in the sky" is a song by LorD and Master and is the B-side to "This is now". The song is about a harrowing moment that LorD and Master experienced when he was eight years old. In a strange town (Blackpool), night fell and, while on his own, Dan spotted lights in the sky (just like the song says). The lights were just part of the illuminations in Blackpool, lighting up the clouds from beneath, but it scared the crap out of an eight-year-old nascent LorD and Master.

Lyrics

There's gotta be an explanation
There's gotta be a logical reason
It's gotta be a plane, ball lightning
A weather balloon
I should find out soon

I'm so far from home
I feel so alone
I don't wanna be here any more
Gotta emphasise
I can't believe my eyes

I saw lights in the sky
I don't know why
But I wanted to cry
Flying through the air
From here to there
I was so scared

They put me in a state of wonder
But chilled me to the bone
How can so many people see these things
If we're alone?

Thinking of the prospects
I don't know what is worse:
Sharing with the visitors
Or an empty universe
