Did you stand there all alone?
Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down
I can see you standin' next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

Do-do-do
Do-do-do

You can drive all night
Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Lookin' for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall, you were lookin' out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all, I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

Do-do-do
Do-do-do

You can drive all night
Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Lookin' for the answer
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Lookin' for the answers
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Standin' in the pourin' rain

Do-do, do, do, do
Do-do, do, do-do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do
Do-do, do, do-do, do-do

You can drive all night
Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Lookin' for the answer
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Lookin' for the answer
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Standin' in the pourin' rain

Overall Meaning

The song "Cigarette Daydreams" by Cage the Elephant is a reflective track that explores feelings of loss and the search for answers. In the first verse, the singer addresses someone who he believes is lost in their own thoughts and emotions. He can see them standing next to him but realizes they are "in and out somewhere else right now". He recognizes their fear and vulnerability, urging them to close their eyes and not be afraid. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that they search for peace of mind and answers but warns that it may take time to find a reason to change.

The second verse opens with an evocative memory of someone who the singer recalls as "looking out of place", which signals that they were going through a tough time. They eventually slipped away, leaving the singer to follow them only to be stunned by the combination of their charm and cruelty. The chorus repeats two more times, with a sense of urgency and desperation building towards a resolution. The final lines suggest that finding a reason to change or stay may involve standing in the pouring rain, indicating that the journey may be difficult but necessary.

Overall, the lyrics of "Cigarette Daydreams" offer a poignant reflection on the challenges of self-discovery and finding a sense of purpose in life. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics strike a deep chord with listeners who are struggling with similar feelings of uncertainty and longing.

Line by Line Meaning

Did you stand there all alone?
Did you feel alone and abandoned?

Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down
I don't know how to describe the current situation

I can see you standin' next to me
I saw you standing beside me

In and out somewhere else right now
You're here physically, but your mind is elsewhere

You sigh, look away
You exhaled dramatically and turned your head

I can see it clear as day
It's obvious to me

Close your eyes, so afraid
You shut your eyes out of fear

Hide behind that baby face
You're using your innocent face to conceal something

You can drive all night Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain You wanna find peace of mind Lookin' for the answer
You're willing to go through a physical journey in search of inner peace and answers

Funny how it seems like yesterday
It's surprising how recent the memory feels

As I recall, you were lookin' out of place
I remember you seemed out of your element

Gathered up your things and slipped away
You packed up and left unnoticed

No time at all, I followed you into the hall
I chased after you immediately after you left

Cigarette daydream You were only seventeen Soft speak with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees
The memory of you smoking a cigarette as a teenager with hidden aggression is so powerful that it almost overwhelmed me

If we can find a reason, a reason to change Lookin' for the answers If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standin' in the pourin' rain
We're both looking for a compelling reason to make a change or stay in the current situation, even if it's uncomfortable

Cigarette daydreams
Сигаретные мечты
Did you stand there all alone?
Неужели ты стояла тут в полном одиночестве?
Oh, I cannot explain what's going down
Я не могу объяснить, что происходит.
I can see you standing next to me
Я вижу, что ты стоишь рядом со мной,
In and out somewhere else right now
Изнутри и снаружи ты где-то ещё прямо сейчас.
You sigh, look away
Ты вздыхаешь, отводишь взгляд,
I can see it clear as day
Я вижу это ясно как божий день,
Close your eyes, so afraid
Закрываешь глаза, так напугана,
Hide behind that baby face
Прикрываешься детским личиком.

You can drive all night
Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт,
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
Ища ответы под проливным дождём,
You wanna find peace of mind
Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие,
Looking for the answer
Ища ответ.

Funny how it seems like yesterday
Забавно, как будто это было вчера,
As I recall, you were looking out of place
Насколько я помню, ты выглядела не к месту,
Gathered up your things and slipped away
Собрала свои вещи и ускользнула,
No time at all, I followed you into the hall
В мгновение ока я последовал за тобой коридор.
Cigarette daydreams
Сигаретные мечты,
You were only seventeen
Тебе было всего семнадцать.
Soft speak with a mean streak
Тихая речь с каплей грубости
Nearly brought me to my knees
Чуть не поставила меня на колени.

You can drive all night
Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт,
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
Ища ответы под проливным дождём,
You wanna find peace of mind

I've always liked this band I'm a 64 year old man. I just get tired when I hear people my age saying there's no good music out there and I keep telling them there is if you look for it. You're so much of it out there music is good you're never too old to love good music. And I just like to style the song it's really laid-back.

I met my fiancé when I was 17 and I was beyond depressed looking for a way out, tried to committed suicide at 17, then I met him. This year we celebrated our 6th year anniversary and we always play this song on our anniversary date. It’s been our song, since I was 17. I can’t wait to play this at our wedding next year, it’s like the lyrics perfectly describe us, how I feel about him and how he feels about me.

Basically my version was I went into it with every intention of pulling it off but then a million to one chance of something happening would happen every time after the second or third try failed and I woke up lying on the floor with the cord still wrapped around my neck the next day my friends whom I had forgotten about and I hadn't seen in years found me I was in a rush trying to clean everything up when they got through the front door and still had the noose on good thing to cause this year my wife that I had tried killing myself over losing ended up dying of cancer and I had to take over for her so she could finally rest. I told her what happened years later and she said it happened cause you're works not done yet you can't leave until it's finished that's the only words that carry me through alot of days now I went from being a mechanic to a welder to a stay at home dad of four 3 of which have autism so things pan out in ways you could never imagine I can't knock suicide cause I know what it means to be in such misery and constant pain that you can only sit and fantasize about which way would be the most effective way but you never have any way of telling what's around that next bend

i started listening to this song when i was 16. ive always been told i’ve been mature for my age growing up, due to a lot of abuse i endured. the year i was 16 was one of the worst years of my life. i talked my father out of committing su!c!de, twice, which was incredibly traumatizing for me at the time. i struggled heavily with depression, to the point where i contemplated my own life at one point. i spent hours staring out my bedroom window when it rained, and have a vivid memory of just standing in the rain crying for something to pull me out of my pain. i fell behind in school after being an honours student, and missed close to over 100 days of school. this song truly did save me. i happened to be playing my spotify on a random shuffle which is what led to me finding this song. i think this song had such an emotional toll on me because the lyrics resonated with me so well. here i am, now 17, coming back to this song as my dad is in the hospital, nearing his death bed. i feel this song will stick with me for the rest of my life. thank you cte ❤

Im 20 in college and this song takes me back to my last year of high school, the fear of the unknown, not knowing what it was going to be next, saying goodbye to close friends you spent a lot of time with. I remember exactly the moment i heard this song for the first time, i was in school, in a patio, with a bunch friends , talking abt life and what we wanted to be, suddenly i hear thin song coming from my friend cellphone, it was one of that moments where you realize ''these are the good old days''.
Anyway, enjoy your teen years guys, you don't have to be the most popular or the smartest, find your people, share w/ them this moment of your life.
Everything is gonna be okay.

This song and the rain is just making me feel like he's with me. Such an amazing song. We ended off on such bad terms.

I'll dedicate this song to a girl who I was friends with. A girl who I loved at the time, but never really became anything other than friends. A friend who gave me my first kiss and who I fell in love a little more. To this day I still don't know why she did what she did, to her it might've been something that can easily be brushed off. But to me, it's still a moment that I still remember clear as day. We were seniors in highschool, I followed you into the hall and, unlike this song says, you brought me to my knees. Sometimes I wish I never met you, but then again, time goes forward and not the other way around. So if you're reading this, just know that I'll never forget you. Time has healed the wounds, that left you left on me. The "will she" "won't she" wounds. I just can't help myself but get reminded of you everytime this song comes up. Just wishing you the best, and wishing you don't let what happened to me to the next person you meet.

This song describes and gives the feeling of being 17 so accurately. Something about being 17 is so scary to me. You have only one year left of being a “child” yet you still have so much to learn. Soon you will be graduating high school and will never be a little kid again. Your life flashes before your eyes and the sudden rush of anxiety and despair you feel once you hit this age is unexplainably heartbreaking. You can’t go back to your childhood and do things differently after clearly seeing what you should’ve done differently. You don’t even know how to be an adult or what you are going to be doing with your life.. will you stay in this mess for the rest of your life.. or if not.. will you will even be able to make a name for yourself and be able to be looked upon by society as something valuable just because of your job title and your salary? You think, did I do enough? Did I waste all of my time fixating on things that doesn’t matter? Will I ever make it out of this rut that I’m in? It’s sad that we all have to think this way in this messed up world that we live in. I’ve never felt so understood by a song. This song hurts.. especially when your 17 and looking for the answers.

For the last few weeks Iv been having a real rough time dealing with the problems in my life . Questioning my thoughts, decisions and life , but then this sing came on as I'm standing in the shower and after the first chorus all the fog and negatively fadded away . I could see through all the bad thoughts and problems iv been struggling to deal with . Iv never cried so happily before.

This song is truly a work of art. It captures and talks about that stuck feeling when you're in a spiral and time just flies by. Mistakes happen and regrets stay. You can try to find answers, in whatever condition. But life happens too fast.

"Funny how it seems like yesterday"
This song means more to me than words can describe. Shortly before i turned 18, i went through a messy breakup. The girl id been with for 3.5 years wound up with my best friend. 6 months later, i had 2 new loves. A girl, M, and heroin. The heroin came first obviously. Just smoking at first. I quit for awhile, but eventually went back to it, with a vengeance. I tried shooting once, and thats all it took for me. I found my new love, because it made everything else go away. I didnt hurt when that needle was in my arm. I know i was an idiot, and there is more to the story, but thats the gist. I used to listen to this song when shooting up. Id cuddle M afterwards and it was my peace. Eventually she couldnt take it anymore, for good reason. I was a shell, and a bad, toxic person. She wound up leaving me after 2.5 years... and got with the same best friend the first girl left me for. I think i deserved it. I was not a good man. Its been 8 years. Much longer than we were together. Im clean now, but I havent had a love like i did with M since. I hope i will someday. It wasnt "our" song, but this song always brings me back to that time, and is very painful, yet powerful, to listen to. "Cigarette daydream, you were only 17. So sweet, with a mean streak. She brought me to my knees". Ive moved on, she has a child with the former best friend. But id be lying if i said i never thought about "what if" when i listen to this song. If you ever read this M.G.H, i cant tell you how sorry i am for the person i was. For whatever its worth, if you somehow ever see this, im trying to do better.

It’s kind of inexplicable, honestly. This comment perfectly summarized it tho. I had been hearing this song on the radio a lot, way before I saw the music video. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m realizing that a lot of the imagery perfectly parallels thoughts I had when just listening to it. Spooky.

This song reminds me of my father, and he says the same about me.

For me, last year was a difficult one, i was caught up in a spiral of depression that not only came with questioning my gender, but just life (lockdown) in general. I stayed in my room for weeks, didn’t eat, never interacted with my family. I’d often think about suicide, yet was too much of a wimp to do actually anything. I had developed a new taste in music after listening to some indie/alt rock, yet quite a lot of hip-hop grime for the last year. Cage the Elephant were included in my new taste, I’m proud to say. My parent’s relationship was beginning to crumble, and so to cope I had been looking into new music. This came up one day in my YouTube recommended. Instantly I was in love.

With my mother, it’s a long story, but she could be mentally ill in some way, she manipulates me and my family. With this, as my depression eased a little and I had found my true self, me and my father grew closer. He played the role of my mother, he still does to this very day. It helped as he accepted me for being a myself, a gay transgender guy, and the fact we share the same music taste. Now we spend so much time together, we go to concerts, festivals, we love quality time. And you know what brought us closer? Music. This music, for this was the first song I played for him on guitar.
Times are still hard, I’ll admit it. But music has helped me through this so much, and this song reminds me of who I love.

This is honestly why I like Cage. Their heavier punk songs are nice. Their bass is exhilarating. They can be so full of energy, but this right here is what I want from them. A less formal sounding, more raw coldplay sound. Something relatable and great to either chill out with or bite through a fit of depression with.

I remember sitting on a bench in my quiet town, cold beginnings of winter hitting me- I never liked the cold- and the clock hit 12:00AM..I cried for the first time in a long time, in the turn to my 18th birthday. This song blared in coincidence in my friend's car as she pulled up to the brick walk way where I sat. I'll never forget that moment. It started sleet-raining and she took me on a drive to cheer me up. As this song went on I sang it loud and proud like the fun idiot I could still be back then, and my friend who was easily annoyed by 'radio music' jammed and sang along with me in time for the @3:00 mark... I bought my "first" pack of cigs-- and the clerk didn't even card me, just that one time, of course. We both knew I was about to be left out in the cold from friends and family alike, I'd probably become homeless in due time thanks to my failing health, and life would only get more difficult from there. True nihilists at heart. One day we both lit cigarettes and just sat in silence, overlooking our usual spot over at the river dam. Eventually she left, too. This song always gives me bittersweet feelings. I never got to feel like a kid, be a kid, have a 'normal childhood'; but, even now I do miss those days for what they were.

This was me and my first Love’s song. There is nothing that compares to the love and anguish we both experienced, our love grew stronger when her parents ended our relationship. About a half a year has gone by and it still seems i’ll never get over her. Every single day i battle with the thought that maybe we just weren’t meant to be, or maybe I just love her too much to ever let her go. Maybe time will tell. Maybe i’ll die before we ever see each other again, maybe we’ll end up together and tell our kids about the hardships we faced. I’ve thought about you nonstop even in my toughest times. I just don’t get it. how does one go on with life knowing this kind of love is out there for me. How do i supply someone with the love that you deserve, yet sadly got stripped away from. i just don’t get it
