Daisy
Choker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm speaking, you listen, but don't let me off the hook
Offer perspective before answer
Live beyond your words
Absolutes are momentary
Over every bird is a hand losing grip
Move as if a gemini
Born leonardo
Sun roof cleo It be crystal balling
Cumulo black tint It be nether worlding
Heavy metal back when
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
To be alive in the sun
All colliding at once
We was diamonds is all
Drink the ocean & run
How far is your house?
Is your father still home?
We should stop at the store
Take advice from the road
Flying bikes through the storm
I couldn't tell if you knew
How i felt about you
Lost a fight with my youth
Had a story to tell
You forgot, but it's cool
Just a memory of memories
Along the spool
You never changed your mind
Perfect compensation like nursing dolls to health It's not real
But we play for the little ones
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
In my chest there is more
There is colour
True to me
Even the clouds are losing sleep
This feeling is
True to me
Strange days
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
I was seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Seeing life daisy
Everything daisy
Petal push daisy
Glazed sigh
Grazed fine on the krispy kreme It ain't fresh, but it's still sweet
Unfinished floor amongst other things
Level with my means
Asked me to that thing
When you know it's not my scene
Like an extra with no lines I'd rather not be seen In the final cut
Striations in our fronts
At the dmv
Thinking this would be the worst place to die
Waiting for eternity
My enhanced state i.d
Why i gotta pay to be me?
Common grounds has shown me there's a warmer side
I don't see it often
When I look outside, I see all of their lives
Not mine
Little black kids with a canton through the side
I hang glide over
When I look outside I see all of their lives
Not mine
The song "Daisy" by Choker is a complex piece that explores themes of uncertainty, youth, and nostalgia. The opening lines suggest that the singer is struggling to articulate their thoughts and emotions effectively, possibly indicating a lack of confidence or a sense of being misunderstood. The idea of listening but not being let off the hook suggests a reluctance to forgive or forget, possibly indicating a strained relationship. The line "absolutes are momentary" suggests that the singer recognizes the fleeting nature of truth, highlighting the idea that perception and perspective are always evolving.
As the song continues, we hear lines such as "move as if a gemini," "born leonardo," and "free up aquemini," which suggest a fascination with astrology and artistic expression. There is also a sense of restlessness and a desire to explore, with lines like "drink the ocean and run" and "flying bikes through the storm." The chorus repeats the phrase "seeing life daisy, everything daisy, petal push daisy," which may suggest a longing for simplicity or innocence, as the daisy is often associated with childhood and youth.
The final verse of the song takes a more reflective tone, with lines like "even the clouds are losing sleep" and "I see all of their lives, not mine." This suggests a sense of isolation or detachment from others, further emphasizing the idea of uncertainty and nostalgia that runs throughout the song.

It's not coming as simply as I'd like
I wish things were easier to understand
When I'm speaking, you listen, but don't let me off the hook
You pay attention but don't necessarily agree or release me from accountability
Offer perspective before answer
Give me a new viewpoint to consider before giving me an answer
Live beyond your words
Match your actions with your words
Absolutes are momentary
Nothing is permanent or set in stone
Over every bird is a hand losing grip
Everything can fall apart at any moment despite how strong it seems
Move as if a gemini
Move with duality and unpredictability
Born leonardo
Referencing Leonardo da Vinci's multifaceted talents and abilities
Free up aquemini
Referencing the Outkast album 'Aquemini' and the importance of celebrating freedom and individuality
Sun roof cleo It be crystal balling
Looking forward and predicting the future with clarity
Cumulo black tint It be nether worlding

Everything daisy Petal push daisy Seeing life daisy
The 'daisy' imagery represents a nostalgic and carefree life outlook, where everything was bright and positive
To be alive in the sun
To feel alive and present in the moment
All colliding at once
All aspects of life are happening simultaneously
We was diamonds is all
In this moment, they were shining and valuable
Drink the ocean & run
To live life in a bold and fearless way
How far is your house? Is your father still home? We should stop at the store
Casual and conversational lyrics about mundane everyday topics
Take advice from the road
To learn and grow from life experiences and journeys
Flying bikes through the storm
Going through challenging times in a bold and fearless way
I couldn't tell if you knew How i felt about you
Uncertainty about the reciprocation of feelings in a relationship
Lost a fight with my youth Had a story to tell You forgot, but it's cool
Accepting that some memories may not matter to others but are still important to oneself
Just a memory of memories Along the spool
A collection of memories that unravel and are threaded together like a spool
You never changed your mind Perfect compensation like nursing dolls to health It's not real
Referencing the idea of false perfection and superficiality
But we play for the little ones
Lyrics are meant to be understood by and relatable to younger audiences
In my chest there is more There is colour True to me Even the clouds are losing sleep This feeling is True to me
An authentic and unique internal feeling that sets the singer apart and is slowly starting to affect everything around them
Strange days
Unusual or unsettling time period
Glazed sigh Grazed fine on the krispy kreme It ain't fresh, but it's still sweet
An aspect of life that may not be perfect, but still has some enjoyable qualities
Unfinished floor amongst other things Level with my means Asked me to that thing When you know it's not my scene Like an extra with no lines I'd rather not be seen In the final cut
Feeling out of place in social situations and wish to remain unnoticed
Striations in our fronts At the dmv Thinking this would be the worst place to die Waiting for eternity My enhanced state i.d Why i gotta pay to be me?
Feeling frustrated by societal expectations and bureaucracy
Common grounds has shown me there's a warmer side I don't see it often When I look outside, I see all of their lives Not mine Little black kids with a canton through the side I hang glide over
Feeling disconnected from society and observing life from a distance
