So you came like a missile
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Then you came with your breeze blocks
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
- <i>In the daylight</i>
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
With the best of intentions
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
So you came like a missile
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
- <i>In the daylight</i>
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
You keep me falling over
- <i>In the daylight</i>
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
You keep me falling over
- <i>In the daylight</i>
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away

"this song has some of the worst metaphores i have ever heard."
Well, that's probably because it's a simile, rather than a metaphor. Similes generally make dreadful metaphors.
This song is amazing, &the music video good. LOVE THIS SONG!
I love this song It is sad and that is why i love it
hahahahaha. :)
love this song.
LOL, it's not "in the daylight" but "in broad-daylight" which means "in the middle of the day" ;) AND I LOVE THIS SONG, IT'S AMAZING....!
Well, broad daylight kind of suggests there's someone else to see, sort of in public.
i love this song. i think it has a really poignant sadness. perhaps, googoogoo, the 'metaphores' was the one, and actually the only metaphor, cos i agree the rest are similes - suffice to say 'leaving me the whole world in exile' is hyperbolic - was about the ocean. but i think that's quite good; no one can give an ocean direction, it's there, its huge and it goes its own way. thus the persons apparent goodwill is futile.
i think this song is beautiful.
I think there's a few things this song could be about.
First of all it could be about drug addiction or alcholism. They think the whole process of getting completely fucked up to forget about the bad things in their life is helping them - but it's actually "taking their life away."
The second thing is that it could be about parents. This is actually my mums idea, but I'm sure she won't mind me taking it. Parents always tell you "everything will be ok" and shield you from things because they think it will make you feel better but in the long run it actually makes you worse, and you end up resenting them for not being honest with you.
And the last one - it could just be about a romantic relationship.
this is a fantastic song, there are two music videos, one with him in a bath and one featuring his girlfriend (from robots in disguise) Sue Denim - i suggest you watch both - YOUTUBE them NOW, They are AMAZING
My theory is that Chris dispised/disliked Kelli Dayton, Sneaker pimps ex-singer, who was the singer when they released "Becoming X". Chris might have felt bad with not beeing the front-person in the band when they debuted with a real masterpeace."IAMX" would mean something like: he want to show that he's the real genius. And the lyrics for "missile" would fit in perfectly in the case where he felt scarred or just upset about her "stealing" the show. Anyways. Those are just speculations and actually not what I think it's about. "X" is chris's other personality. the character in IAMX. and I have never heard anything about Chris holding a grudge against Kelli.But i think this song is actually about "X".
