Daylight Storms
Air Formation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just let go, you'll find another day
As I saw the ocean rush away

Guess I saw the better part of you
You had your way and had it all to lose

Daylight storms, fallen stars
All these things are crumbling away

And it breaks your ever-aching heart
Your sun will shine you'll feel it when it starts

And we knew we'd have to fall apart
As I watched the ocean come our way

Daylight storms, fallen stars
All these things are crumbling away

Daylight storms, fallen stars
All these things are crumbling away

Overall Meaning

Air Formation's "Daylight Storms" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that deals with the theme of separation and the inevitability of change. The lyrics contain a hopeful message that encourages listeners to persevere through the painful process of letting go and moving on from a relationship, with the understanding that brighter days are ahead.


The opening lines, "Just let go, you'll find another day / As I saw the ocean rush away" suggest a sense of release and acceptance, as if the singer is finally realizing that holding onto something that is gone is futile. The ocean rushing away is a metaphor for the passage of time and the loss of something that was once present but has now moved on.


The chorus, "Daylight storms, fallen stars / All these things are crumbling away" seems to touch on the idea of the transience of life and the inevitability of change. The metaphor of daylight storms suggests that even the brightest moments can be fleeting and vulnerable to destruction, while the image of fallen stars speaks to the feeling of loss and decay that is present when things come to an end.


The final lines, "And we knew we'd have to fall apart / As I watched the ocean come our way / Daylight storms, fallen stars / All these things are crumbling away" suggest a resolution and acceptance of what has happened. The pain of separation is acknowledged, but so is the promise of new beginnings and the understanding that everything is subject to change.
