Daydreamin'
Boomkat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We must all remember to enjoy the ride
For it's too late once you crash
Life's gone in a flash
Looking back through the years
Photographs and scrap books held dear
Roller skates, sleeping bags
I pick myself back up again
Daydreamin's the way to visit the past
Those spaces and times
That we'd all hope would forever last
Don't loose who you are
'Cause that's who you are
Lazy days, summer nights, I crave
Just to be alone again
In my head, where it's safe to play
No bills to be paid
I remember braces, ice-cream night
Amazing how much we used to fight
Road trips, ...??... place, being a kid
Yeah those were the days
But life goes on and I'm on my way
Daydreamin's the way to visit the past
Those spaces and times
That we'd all hope would forever last
Don't loose who you are
'Cause that's who you are
Don't loose who you are
Don't loose who you are
Don't loose who you are
'Cause that's who you are, my friend
And that's how it is
Just remember who you are, my friend
And that's how it is
The opening lines of "Daydreamin'" by Boomkat are a reminder of how fast life goes by and how crucial it is to appreciate every moment of it. The song advocates reminiscing through daydreaming as a way to visit the past and cherish memories. Looking back through the years, the lyrics mention various nostalgic items such as photographs, scrapbooks, roller skates, sleeping bags, and a first bike, followed by an injury that resulted in 12 stitches. The singer picks herself back up again, emphasizing the importance of resilience and moving forward despite the setbacks. The chorus repeats the idea that daydreaming is a way to revisit the past, to hold onto moments that we hope would last forever, and to never lose sight of who we are, as that is our identity, our essence.
