Motorcycle Daydream
Bedroom Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yes, I've wasted all these days
just letting all my hopes mislead me in a haze
a sad cliché
I won't use spite to find my way
all of my thoughts are soothing illusions
the start is new but I saw the ending scene
in this motorcycle daydream
anticipation wrapped in confusion
every bit of sense left along the line
there's a motorcycle daydream in my mind
I could need a hand
and I truly never planned
to go and fuck it up again and here I stand
misunderstand
every bit and piece, there's no small clue
helping me get closer to you
thinking ahead of time is my weak part
self-dramatizing, trusting what I've foreseen
in this motorcycle daydream
wishful events will orbit my lit heart
plain sick of all the things I can't leave behind
there's a motorcycle daydream in my mind
The lyrics of "Motorcycle Daydream" by Bedroom Eyes can be understood as a narrative about the singer's struggle with their romantic feelings towards someone. The opening line, "I will state my case; yes, I've wasted all these days," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer confesses to having let their hopes mislead them for too long in a haze, only to be left disillusioned by the absence of a smile. Despite the pain, they refuse to let bitterness guide them towards a resolution.
The chorus describes the singer's daydream of being on a motorcycle - a metaphor for their headspace. While their thoughts are soothing, they are also illusory. In this daydream, they have already seen the ending scene despite being at the start, indicating that they are overthinking and self-dramatizing. The anticipation of getting closer to their love interest is wrapped in confusion, making it challenging to decipher their feelings fully. Their heart is "lit" with hope, and they are sick of being unable to leave these thoughts behind.
The second verse expands on the feelings of frustration that the singer experiences. They wish they had someone to lean on and did not plan to mess up, ending up further complicating the situation. Every small piece of information they have on their love interest is an enigma, making it challenging to unravel the mystery of what they feel for them. The verse ends with some self-deprecation, highlighting how overthinking is the singer's weak point.

In my imagination
