The lights were too bright

When someone reaches for greatness with the intention of performing, but the moment becomes too big and they fold under the pressure. Used when someone can’t handle the spotlight once all the attention is on them.

“They called him the next superstar, but when the championship came, the lights were too bright.”

My lights were off

The website said I needed to pay by the 26th... They sent me something in the mail saying that I needed to pay by the 15th.... They shut it off on the 22nd while I was asleep. I woke up and saw that the light was off and I knew exactly what happened. And then I sat in the dark and tried to call them but once they turn it off the make you pay something up front and I'm like "I use the fucking website. I go and pay by what the fucking website says and it says the 26th" and this chick sounded like she was about to cry. And guess when I got paid. Guess... The exactly date of my pay day was the 26th. The day by which the website said I had to pay.

Hym "So my lights were off, fuckface. Do you like it? Do you like my little show I put on here? I do it either the lights off sometimes. I KNOW I posted to bitch about it when I happened. Remember that? Remember? I know I posted with about it. Did you laugh?"

Mickey Mouse Lights

The blue lights on top of a police car that stay on and do not flash.

That cop didn't light me up but he came up on me with his Mickey Mouse Lights on.
