The lights are on but nobody is at home definition and
Lamps illuminate a dwelling, but when it comes to nobody, they stay unseen. Properties without human presence remain dull. Not a soul to acknowledge
the light, no one's property to brighten. Empty houses stay void of light, leaving the lamps without a role. Lamp searches people, but in nobody's dwelling, there's no one to light up.
