16 Frames is the creation of frontman and songwriter Steve Sulikowski. After hearing "Back Again", Clive Davis, the legendary record executive, immediately signed him to his label, Arista Records. Sulikowski then went on to record the songs that would become the foundation of 16 Frames including "Close Range" and "Where It Ends” with famed producer Matt Serletic at the helm. "With most of my songs, I try to tell a story, but at the same time, I leave the door open for people to fill in the blanks - its meaning can then apply to something very personal to me and to the listener."
After watching "No Direction Home" Martin Scorsese’s documentary on Bob Dylan, Sulikowski began to feel his approach to songwriting evolve. "I started to look at the whole creative process unfolding in a way like a movie.” It also inspired him to choose the band's name, 16 Frames, the lowest frequency at which continuous motion can be perceived. “16 Frames is that moment when things become focused, become clear." 16 Frames’ future is anything but static with their music already featured on “Men In Trees” and on MTV’s “The Hills.” 16 Frames recently toured with Sheryl Crow, Crowded House and Pete Yorn and their debut album "Where It Ends" is available now.

16 Frames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm breaking down I'm not breaking through
I couldn't write you a love song if I tried
I tried, believe me I have failed
5 am and I haven't been to bed
Not a single word has come to me
Nothing that I think that you'd believe
Enough to bring you back to me
Is maybe it's time to move on
In the daylight, things are different
Maybe it's time to move on
'Cause I can't be if it isn't
Been stuck in this place for so long
I hate that you are gone, girl
I hate that you are gone
So maybe it's time to move on
Another girl whose name I'll soon forget
She looks a lot like you I think
I play the songs I know she wants to hear
It keeps my dreams of you alive
Early morning I don't feel so good
In fact I feel a little sick
I'm so tried of looking back so I sit
And watch the evening as it fades
The only thing I can say
Is maybe it's time to move on
In the daylight, things are different
Maybe it's time to move on
'Cause I can't be if it isn't
Been stuck in this place for so long
I hate that you are gone, girl
I hate that you are gone
So maybe it's time to move on
Look at the streetlights
Oh they couldn't keep 'em off on me
This is the darkest night I think that there have ever been
It was all for you, it was all for you
So maybe it's time to move on
In the daylight, things are different
Maybe it's time to move on
'Cause I can't be if it isn't
Maybe we get what we want
In the daylight, things are different
Been stuck in this place for so long
I hate that you are gone, girl
I hate that you are gone
Maybe it's time to move on
"Daylight" by 16 Frames is a sad and poignant song that tells the story of a man who is trying to move on from a past love. The singer spends the night trying to come up with the right words to win back his love, but to no avail. He is tired and frustrated, and despite his efforts, he can't seem to make any progress. He even admits that he's not good enough to write her a love song.
Throughout the song, he is haunted by memories of his former love. He talks about how he's been stuck in the past for so long, and how difficult it is to move on. He tries to distract himself with another woman, but he knows deep down that she's not the same as his true love. He's tired of feeling sick and looking back on what he's lost. In the end, he realizes that maybe it's time to move on and start living in the daylight.
The message of "Daylight" is one of acceptance and moving forward. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to hold on to the past, we have to acknowledge that things have changed and it's time to let go. This is a song that many people can relate to, as most of us have experienced heartbreak and the struggle to move on.
Line by Line Meaning
I spent the night trying to get to you
I did everything I could to win you back last night
I'm breaking down I'm not breaking through
I'm not succeeding in getting you back and it's causing me to lose hope
I couldn't write you a love song if I tried
I'm so heartbroken that I can't even write a song about how I feel
I tried, believe me I have failed
I've tried to make things right between us, but I haven't been successful
5 am and I haven't been to bed
It's early in the morning and I can't sleep because of what's been on my mind
Not a single word has come to me
I can't think of anything to say to make you come back to me
Nothing that I think that you'd believe
Even if I did think of something to say, I doubt you'd believe me
Enough to bring you back to me
I don't have anything that would be convincing enough to make you come back to me
The only thing I can say
All I can say at this point is
Is maybe it's time to move on
Maybe it's time for me to accept that we're not going to be together and move on with my life
In the daylight, things are different
During the day, I have a different perspective on life
Been stuck in this place for so long
I've been stuck in this painful situation for a while now
I hate that you are gone, girl
I really hate that we're not together anymore
Another girl whose name I'll soon forget
I've been seeing someone else, but I know it's not going to compare to what we had
She looks a lot like you I think
I'm trying to replace you with someone who reminds me of you
I play the songs I know she wants to hear
I'm trying to impress her by playing songs I think she'll like
It keeps my dreams of you alive
Thinking about you is still a big part of my life, even when I'm with someone else
Early morning I don't feel so good
I feel sick to my stomach when I wake up and realize you're not with me
In fact I feel a little sick
The thought of losing you is making me physically ill
I'm so tried of looking back so I sit
I'm tired of dwelling on the past, so I'm just sitting here looking forward
And watch the evening as it fades
I'm just watching the day go by, waiting for it to end
Look at the streetlights
I'm looking at the streetlights outside my window
Oh they couldn't keep 'em off on me
The streetlights are so bright and in my face that I can't ignore them
This is the darkest night I think that there have ever been
This is the most painful and sad night I've ever experienced
It was all for you, it was all for you
Everything I did, I did it for you and our relationship
Maybe we get what we want
Maybe we don't always get what we want in life
