Woah Man
Dayglow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter what the distance
It doesn't make a difference
If you can't see that light anymore
Yeah, you've already told me
This same ol' tale of glory
But you're still on that same side of the door

So, tell me what you're feeling like this for

Whoa, man
You really gotta let this go, man
Yeah, if you wanna keep on growing
You gotta leave some things behind
You gotta step out of that mind
This time

You're thinking of an instance
The memory's persistent
And you can't seem to shake it from your mind
So, listen to me closely
But look around you mostly
There's so much more to love that you will find

Once you wipe those tears away from both your eyes and let 'em dry

Whoa, man
You really gotta let this go, man
Yeah, if you wanna keep on growing
You gotta leave some things behind
You gotta step out of that mind
This time

Whoa, man
You know, you really gotta let this go, man
'Cause if you wanna keep on growing
You're gonna have to leave some things behind




You're gonna have to step out of that mind
This time

Overall Meaning

The song "Woah Man" by Dayglow revolves around the theme of letting go of the past and moving on. The lyrics suggest that holding on to memories and experiences can hold us back from growing and experiencing new things. The vocalist addresses someone who is stuck in their own mind and can't seem to move forward from a particular memory. The repeated phrase "Whoa, man" is a way of trying to grab their attention and urging them to let go of whatever they are holding on to.


The first verse talks about the distance between the person and the memory they are holding. The singer suggests that no matter how far they are from the experience, if they can't see the light anymore, then they are still stuck in the same place. The second verse encourages the person to listen closely but also to look around themselves. The singer is trying to make them aware of the beauty that surrounds them, insisting that there is so much more to love that they will find once they stop holding on to the past.

No matter what the distance
Regardless of how far you are in life


It doesn't make a difference
It won't change anything


If you can't see that light anymore
If you can't find hope or positivity


Yeah, you've already told me
I've heard this same story before


This same ol' tale of glory
A story of success you keep telling yourself


But you're still on that same side of the door
You haven't moved on or progressed


So, tell me what you're feeling like this for
Explain your current negative mindset

So, listen to me closely
Pay attention to my advice

Once you move on from the sadness

You need to let go of certain feelings or memories

[Verse 1]
No matter what the distance
It doesn't make a difference
If you can't see that light anymore
Yeah, you've already told me
This same ol' tale of glory
But you're still on that same side of the door
So, tell me what you're feeling like this for

[Chorus]
Woah, man
You've really gotta let this go, man
'Cause if you wanna keep on growing
You've gotta leave some things behind
You've gotta step out of that mind
This time

[Verse 2]
You're thinking of an instance
The memory's persistent
And you can't seem to shake it from your mind
So, listen to me closely, but look around you mostly
There's so much more to love that you will find
Once you wipe those tears away from both your eyes
And let 'em dry
