The Daylight
Andrew Belle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't believe she's gone, I...
Can't believe she's gone, I...
Can't believe she's gone away

Darkness was my future
Hopeless were the patterns
Callous was my heart, so it seems
Oh, I should sing a little bit faster
I'm to blame for this disaster
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you
Oh, and I should breathe a little bit softer
Oxygen reminds me I lost her
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you

Can't believe she's gone, I...
Folded on the creases
Tore myself to pieces now

But blessed was the daylight
Flooded my hearts windows
And cleared the smoke that billows out

Oh, I should sing a little bit faster
I'm to blame for this disaster
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you
Oh, and I should breathe a little bit softer,
Oxygen reminds me I lost her,
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you

Peace my body, oh, my soul
to find, no I don't mind
Break my hardened heart to show
that I, yea I was blind
Lay my body on the shore
to find, no, I don't mind
I, I don't mind

Can't believe she's gone
I'm casting out the demons
Letting go of reasons why

Welcome was the daylight
Found where I was hiding
Fought the dark residing there

Oh, I should sing a little bit faster
I'm to blame for this disaster
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you
Oh, and I should breathe a little bit softer




Chemicals remind me I lost her
I, I'm repairing my heart for you, you

Later in the song, the words "peace my body, oh, my soul" come in, which seems to suggest that the singer has made peace with their loss and is prepared to move on.

@TheWindblownhair

This song breaks my heart. In the best way possible. What an amazing song. I love the lyric "Oxygen reminds me I lost her." It makes me think of someone that you absolutely couldn't live without, like oxygen. Also, of a relationship that happens so easily, like breathing. Whatever it means, I am grateful he wrote it.
