Oh, Daylight by Sun Starer (2024)

Oh, Daylight

Share:

You want a story that will last all night
And it will be there til the morning after
It's no surprise you're running dry
These things will happen to anybody else but you

I've got a feeling that we're out of sight
Both stowed away until the hands are turning
It's no surprise we've lost our minds

But there is no one I would rather suffer

Oh, daylight
Is never, ever far away
Oh, my life
Is never, ever wanting to change

On the outside it seems like something's wrong
Knocking back anything we get our hands on
But from the middle we're quite alright
No bonds are breaking only aided to reinforce

The hieroglyphics of a life gone right
The scribbled sketches of a raving duplet
It's no surprise we can't deny
The missing piece is just a welcome distraction

Oh, daylight
Is never, ever far away

Oh, my life
Is never, ever wanting to change

In the lyrics of "Oh Daylight" by Sun Starer, the song tells a tale of finding solace and connection during the night, seeking a story that will endure until the morning. The singer acknowledges a sense of weariness or depletion, but reassures the listener that such struggles are not unique to them alone. There is a sense of intimacy and partnership portrayed as they navigate the night together, finding comfort and solidarity in each other's presence.

The mention of being "out of sight" and "stowed away" hints at a desire for escape or seclusion from the outside world, perhaps seeking refuge from the challenges and chaos of daily life. Despite feeling a bit adrift or disconnected, the bond between the singer and their companion remains strong, with a shared understanding and acceptance of each other's imperfections and vulnerabilities.

The chorus emphasizes the enduring presence of daylight and the constancy of life, suggesting a sense of continuity and stability amidst the fluctuations and uncertainties of existence. There is a sense of contentment and acceptance in the singer's acknowledgment that their life, while not immune to change, is grounded in a fundamental sense of self and purpose that remains consistent.

The final verses delve into the complexities and intricacies of life's experiences, likening them to hieroglyphics and scribbled sketches that may seem chaotic or nonsensical at first glance. Yet, despite the challenges and uncertainties, there is an underlying sense of resilience and interconnectedness that prevails. The missing piece mentioned could be seen as a metaphor for the imperfections and uncertainties that shape our journeys, ultimately serving as opportunities for growth and introspection. The song's refrain of "Oh, daylight" and "Oh, my life" reinforces the themes of endurance and acceptance, celebrating the cyclical nature of existence and the beauty found in both the light and shadows of our experiences.

You want a story that will last all night
You are seeking something enduring and captivating

And it will be there til the morning after
The experience will carry on until the next day

It's no surprise you're running dry
It's expected that you're feeling depleted

These things will happen to anybody else but you
These struggles are common to everyone except you

I've got a feeling that we're out of sight
I sense that we are hidden from view

Both stowed away until the hands are turning
We are concealed until circ*mstances change

It's no surprise we've lost our minds
It's not astonishing that we feel disoriented

But there is no one I would rather suffer
I wouldn't want to endure this with anyone else

Oh, daylight
Oh, the light of day

Is never, ever far away
It's always close by

Oh, my life
Oh, my existence

Is never, ever wanting to change
I never desire it to change

On the outside it seems like something's wrong
Externally, it appears that there is an issue

Knocking back anything we get our hands on
Indulging in whatever comes our way

But from the middle we're quite alright
However, internally we are actually fine

No bonds are breaking only aided to reinforce
Our connections are not weakening, they are growing stronger

The hieroglyphics of a life gone right
The symbols of a successful life

The scribbled sketches of a raving duplet
The chaotic drawings of an enthusiastic pair

It's no surprise we can't deny
It's not unexpected that we can't ignore

The missing piece is just a welcome distraction
The absence is simply a pleasant diversion
