Daybreaker
Bon Homme feat. Lydmor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its ten in the morning
And you're going on and on
Its been a whole night now
It's not what I hoped when you called
You gave me no warning
You gave me no time to run
You gave me no reason
It's not what I hoped when you called

And I don't know what you're thinking
And I don't know what I'm doing here
You've got only shit to say
I should have just stayed away

Pretending its all right
Has never done any good
So try to shut up, girl
I need to tell you you're wrong
It's ten in the morning
And you're going on and on
It's been a whole night now
It's not what I hoped for at all

And I don't know what you're thinking
And I don't know what I'm doing here
You've got only shit to say
I should have just stayed away

We're going in circles
We both know where this will lead
But everyone's lonely
and we don't know who else to call

And I don't know what you're thinking
And I don't know what I'm doing here

You've got only shit to say
I should have just stayed away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Daybreaker" by Bon Homme describe a situation where the singer is stuck in a conversation with someone who's been talking all night and hasn't given him any valid reason for calling him. He seems frustrated and irritated by the fact that he wasn't warned about what was coming his way, and it's not what he'd hoped for. He tries to stop the person from talking and convey the message that they're wrong, but it seems like there's no point in proceeding any further as they're just going around in circles. The singer doesn't understand why he's here and what his counterpart is thinking.

The song is about communication breakdown and how sometimes people find themselves in situations they don't want to be in, yet they don't know how to get out of them. The singer is torn between wanting to end the conversation and knowing that the other person is just as lonely as he is. The chorus emphasizes the frustration and confusion that the singer is going through, as he doesn't know what his counterpart is thinking and why he should stay in this conversation, where the other person seems to be just saying rubbish things.

Overall, "Daybreaker" is a relatable song because it speaks to the universal feeling of being stuck in an unwanted situation and not knowing how to get out of it.
