Daydream
Collin Selman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For another Lovesick creature
Teenage daydream
Stop lights flashing
Red on red and
The poor man watching
From his cardboard bed
On the back of your wrist
And you don't miss a thing while you're tounging the cut in your mouth
Picture perfect new fling
Like a teenage love scene
Cause we're playing each other like we're so lovely
I've never felt like this with you before
Cold a.m. now
Skylines steady
Stuck in your gaze
And our heartbeats heavy
Spinning ivy On the system
Lost our psyche's
But we'll never miss them
Painted blood wine lipstick
On the back of your wrist
And you don't miss a thing while you're tounging the cut in my mouth
Picture perfect new fling
Like a teenage love scene
And we're playing each other like we're so lovely
I've never felt like this with you before
The lyrics to "dayDREAM" by Collin Selman seem to describe a passionate but tumultuous relationship between two people caught up in the throes of a teenage daydream. The opening lines of "I've gone crazy for another lovesick creature teenage daydream" suggest that the singer is infatuated with another person who is equally lost in their fantasies. The imagery of stop lights flashing and a poor man watching from his cardboard bed underscore the intensity of this daydream, creating a sense of urgency and desperation.
The second verse introduces more vivid imagery, particularly in the lines "Painted blood wine lipstick on the back of your wrist, and you don't miss a thing while you're tounging the cut in your mouth." These lyrics suggest that the singer and the object of their affection are engaged in some kind of self-destructive behavior, perhaps using drugs or engaging in risky sexual behavior together. Despite this, the two continue to play each other "like we're so lovely," caught up in the excitement and drama of their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "dayDREAM" paint a vivid picture of a young couple lost in their own world, heedless of the risks and consequences of their actions. The song captures both the ecstasy and the agony of teenage love, and the intense emotions that can consume us when we're caught up in a powerful daydream.
