Lyric discussion by scandor 

This song does make sense about God watching over us. But there are two things that prove the songs is written about a light, The first being, My name is blue canary one-word spelled l-i-t-e" It spells it out there "LITE" Of course it's spelled wrong, but it flows which is probably why it's spelled that way. The other part, "There's a picture opposite me, of my primitive ancestry, which stood on rocky shores and, Kept the beaches shipwreck free" He is refering to a lighthouse. Well thats my opinion on the song.

@scandor He always of course says he's plugged into an outlet.

I like to think he misspells "light" because he's a nightlight so of course he doesn't know how to spell very well.

@scandor It’s spelled “l-i-t-e” because commercial products frequently misspell words (think “froot loops”), and “lite” is a pretty common one.

Here’s a link to a set of nightlights with that misspelling: amazon.com/Westek-NiteLite-Automatic-Incandescent-Plugin/dp/B0026SP4GO

@scandor I agree that the blue canary nigh light was referring to lighthouses being its' "primitive ancestry." I've though thought of it beling anything else.
