Daybehavior… Read Full Bio ↴For news visit www.daybehavior.com or meet them on facebook!
Daybehavior was formed by Carl and Tommy who both had been making music in various constellations since the early eighties. 1988 they got to know each other and soon they found out that they had similar musical references, particularly synteziser-pop music from the early eighties was something that they both loved.
In the summer of '93 they got together and seriously started to consider the possibilities of making music together. They decided in what way they wanted to work and Daybehavior slowly took form at their own Graplur Studios.
In the winter of '93 they started the search for a vocalist, and a little more that one year later, after having tried out more than 40 different vocalist, Paulinda entered the studio and the last piece of the Daybehavior puzzle fell into place. Half Italian, half Swedish Paulinda was able to add even more beauty to the daybehavior sound, turning their music into something really special with her melodic voice, and her lyrics which she sometimes writes in English, sometimes in Italian.
They are currently working on their 3rd album!

The Sweetness of my Pain
Daybehavior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I´m tired of all the lies
Yes, I´m tired that you still flow in my veins
It will be my death
The sweetness of my pain
I think it´s gonna be ok again
When I´m done whit you, When I´m done whit you
All this love is driving me insane
The words been written down all over me
How, how could you avoid to see
All the beauty I have inside
And how, how could you adore me
When you decieve me and tell me lies
I walk in the moonlight tasting the rain
I walk on a nameless road
I´m touching shadows inside my brain
It´s bringing me down
This sweetness of my pain
I´m not an open book no more you see
The words been hidden deep indise of me
How, how could you avoid to see
All the beauty I have inside
And how, how could you adore me
When you decieve me and tell me lies
I´m tired of faces bringing me down
I´m tired of all the lies
Yes, I´m tired that you still flow in my veins
It will ve my death this sweetness of my pain
(this sweetness of my pain)
I think it´s gonna be ok my friend
But it seems to me, yes it seems to me
That all this love is driving me mad
How, how could you avoid to see
(how could you avoid to see)
All the beauty I have inside
And how, how could you adore me
(how could you adore me)
When you decieve me and tell me lies
...Yes how, how could you foll me
´cause all you said was a bunch of lies
The lyrics to Daybehavior's song The Sweetness of my Pain express the deep emotional turmoil that the singer is going through because of a past failed relationship. The singer is tired of the lies and deception that they faced in the relationship, and while they still feel a connection to their ex-partner ("you still flow in my veins"), they realize that it will ultimately lead to their demise ("It will be my death"). This pain is bittersweet, hence the title "The Sweetness of my Pain".
The singer finds solace in the idea that things will get better when they're able to move on ("I think it´s gonna be ok again / When I´m done with you"), but acknowledges that the road to healing is not easy ("I´m touching shadows inside my brain / It´s bringing me down"). They once felt open and vulnerable ("I´m like an open book honey, you see / The words been written down all over me"), but now they're closed off and guarded ("I´m not an open book no more you see / The words been hidden deep inside of me").
The chorus repeatedly brings up the question of why the ex-partner couldn't see the singer's inner beauty and goes on to highlight the pain caused by their deception. The repeated use of "how, how" and "all the lies" drives home the sense of betrayal and hurt the singer feels. The song ends with a direct call-out to the ex-partner, accusing them of leading the singer on with false promises.
Overall, "The Sweetness of my Pain" is a beautifully crafted song that expresses the feeling of heartbreak and disillusionment that many people go through after a failed relationship.
