Daylight Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MusicLover52 

Cover art for Daylight lyrics by Maroon 5

This song is a really meaningful song and one of my favourites. I think that daylight is being used as a metaphor for the future or change and 'you' as in the person who is being talked about is used as a metaphor for the past or memories. The whole song is basically about not wanting to let go if the past memories because the writer is scared of moving on or change. Cuz I like writing about the meaning I am gonna tell you the meaning para wise.

1st Para The writer is trying I tell us that soon he is gonna have to move on with his life and accept the changes that are occurring but he doesn't want to accept that even though he knew that nothing lasts forever.

2nd Para/4th Para/6th Para/7th Para (They're all the same) Now the writer is beginning to accept that eventually he'll have to let o but at the same time he also wants to make the most of the present and live life to the fullest.

3rd Para Again he is watching everyone around him change and knows that soon everything and everyone will be different that is why he is taking in everything and keeping it safe in his memories.

5th Para The writer is telling us that earlier he wanted things to change because he wasn't very happy with the situation but now all he wants is the 'dark' because the dark means that the 'daylight' which is the future stays away.

Conclusion No matter what the writer wants the daylight is inevitable, no matter what it will always come around eventually which signifies that life keeps going on no matter what and we just need to accept it.

I like that interpretation. Your is the most meaningful one. It makes since.

Thanx!! Tell me if there are any other songs you like and want me to give my interpretation of... :D

@MusicLover52 Music is what speaks to us in the moment. I agree with your commentary. My child is very sick, and we have been told that we have only a short time left together. This song makes me think of our situation. Holding hands...thinking of this song...thinking of the inevitable.
