In 2018, Struble released his debut album 'Fuzzybrain' as he began attending the University of Texas. Fuzzybrain, propelled by social-media virality, was a quick success. This attention prompted Struble's exit from university in favor of focusing on his music full-time.
In May of 2021, shortly before getting married, Struble would release a second album as Dayglow, titled 'Harmony House'. The record was supported by 5 singles, including 'Close To You' and 'Medicine'.
In June of 2022, Struble released a new song, entitled 'Then It All Goes Away', along with the announcement of an upcoming album. After the release of two more singles, 'Deep End' and 'Second Nature', the album 'People in Motion' was released in early October of that year, with an international tour following soon after.

Dayglow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a rather intelligent adolescent
And that's who you are, I learned my lesson
I must not understand and just must be far too progressive
I never meant to be that way
I just wanted to be kind
Well, maybe I just think too much
And oh, I know I'm not everything you thought I was
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And oh, I tried you cried, I am not all you had thought
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And I'll do my best, my flesh is still gonna make mistakes
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
Here it is, a new perspective
I'm listening, but in fair warning, it's rather subjective
Whoa, so unexpected
I know my friends but I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection
I never meant to be that way
But I know I am sometimes
Well, maybe I just think too much
You were right, it was only in my mind
And oh, I know I'm not everything you thought I was
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And oh, I tried you cried, I am not all you had thought
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And I'll do my best, my flesh is still gonna make mistakes
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
At least I tried
Well, at least I tried
At least I tried
Well, at least I, uh
The song "Nicknames" by Dayglow explores the theme of self-acceptance and personal growth. The lyrics express the idea that people are not always what they seem to be, and that we should not judge others based on first impressions or appearances. The singer of the song admits that they may have been misunderstood or judged too harshly in the past, but they are willing to learn from their mistakes and try to be a better version of themselves.
The first verse shows the singer acknowledging their own intelligence and admitting that they may have been too progressive for others to understand. They also express regret for any unintentional actions that may have hurt others, while recognizing that they tend to overthink things. The chorus reinforces the idea that people should not be judged by their external characteristics, but by their actions and intentions. The second verse shows the singer listening to feedback from others and considering a new perspective, though they also struggle with self-doubt and self-criticism. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they have tried their best, even if they have not always succeeded.
Overall, "Nicknames" is a hopeful and introspective song about personal growth and self-acceptance. The lyrics encourage listeners to be open-minded and understanding towards others, while also acknowledging their own imperfections and striving to be their best selves.

Here it is, a new confession
I'm about to reveal something new to you
You're a rather intelligent adolescent
You are smart for your age
And that's who you are, I learned my lesson
I now know that you are who you are and I won't try to change you
I must not understand and just must be far too progressive
I'm sorry for trying to push my beliefs onto you
I never meant to be that way
I didn't intend to act that way
I just wanted to be kind
I just wanted to be nice
Well, maybe I just think too much
Maybe I overanalyze things
It's only in my mind this time
It's just my own thoughts and not reality
And oh, I know I'm not everything you thought I was
I realize that I may not have lived up to your expectations of me
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
The version of yourself that you present to others may not be the true you
And oh, I tried you cried, I am not all you had thought
I know I let you down and I'm sorry
And I'll do my best, my flesh is still gonna make mistakes
I'll try to do better in the future, but I know I'm only human and will still make mistakes
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
Please forgive me if my actions or words don't match up with who you thought I was
Here it is, a new perspective
I'm about to share a new way of looking at things
I'm listening, but in fair warning, it's rather subjective
I'm open to hearing your perspective, but I want to warn you that my own perspective may differ
Whoa, so unexpected
Wow, I didn't see that coming
I know my friends but I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection
I'm aware of how my friends see me, but I have a tendency to doubt myself and be self-critical
At least I tried
I may not have succeeded, but I made an effort
Well, at least I tried
I'm emphasizing that I did make an attempt
At least I tried
I'm reiterating that I tried
Well, at least I, uh
I'm trailing off and not finishing my thought
