Lights brighten a house, but when it comes to not a soul, they stay unnoticed. Dwellings without person presence remain without light. Nobody to greet the lamp, absence of people's home to lighten up. Uninhabited dwellings remain void of illumination, leaving the lights meaningless. Illumination seeks individuals, but in not a soul's dwelling, there's not a soul to illuminate.
