Simple substitution. No letter stands for itself. X is T. H is E.

Simple substitution with X as T and H as E, no letter standing for itself, word lengths printed. ROT13 of the same Gulf idea sitting underneath. Two cribs, then the lights. A cryptogram that tells you the title is also the answer is still fair if the first pass makes you work.
