2) Daylight is a Spanish pop punk band from Barcelona. They've released two albums, "Party Assault" and "2 Cool 4 School", an EP and an early demo.
Daylight began in march 2004, when Olek, Will and Wojtek fortunately meet Victor , an experienced drummer, for the very first time.
A year and a half later, they record their first EP called “Daylight”, that contains three songs. It is the beginning of a new period of concerts in which Daylight shared the stage with prestigious national bands like The Unfinished Sympathy and NoWayOut and even some international bands like MXPX or Reel Big Fish among others.
In 2008 they decided to edit their first LP together with Txosse, from Wheel Sound, a hystorical and prestigious studio in Catalonia's punk rock scene. Later on, Eddy Schreyer from Oasis Mastering Studios (CA) produced the master of the album, wich was entitled "Party Assault". This same year provided them a tight schedule of concerts. During April they performed an exclusive Spanish tour all around the country.
The album, and the video-clip for "The One for You", achieved some positive reviews and brought them the chance to appear in some music televisions such as MTV Spain or SOL Música. This good acceptance by the media brought them many interviews and allowed them to appear in some relevant newspapers like La Vanguardia or Avui, and some important magazines like RockZone and Loka Magazine.
Their second CD, 2 Cool 4 School, was released on March 2011, with Summer Season being the first single and My Seventeen the second, released the following year. 2012 Also seen the stard of an Euro tour and a couple shows in China.

3) Daylight is a German emocore band. It was formed by Michael and Markus (Vocals), Sascha and Cem (Guitars), Marc (Bass) and Fabian (Drums). This musical cooperation harmonised absolutely perfect and from the beginning the band wrote their own songs.
In 1998 Daylight released their first demo tape (Our Sunshine) that sold very well but a short time later Marc and Cem decided to leave the band. This was just the beginning of several line-up changes to follow. A replacement was found very fast and Albi (Guitar) and Olli (Bass) joined the band. This was one of the most important steps in the band history of Daylight. With the new members a more melodic impact was added to the music and a second demo tape (When Silence Can Be Heard) was released.
In 1999 the first mini CD (When Great People Fall) was released on Incendiary Records and Olli was replaced by Daniel (Bass). Daylight played a lot of shows to promote the release and supported bands like Boy Sets Fire, As Friends Rust, Botch or Trial. The debut CD was sold out really soon.
After the success in 1999 the band tried to record their debut album in 2000 with a befriended sound engineer. The result was everything but satisfying. The sound was awful and the wrong decisions have been made for the track listing. The whole recording process was a mess and this led to conflicts and frustration within the band. The result was the departure of Daniel and personal disputes between some of the other members. Even if Daylight continued to rehearse, the individual members put their main focus on other projects. The band was about to split up.
In 2001 Alan (Bass) joined one of the rare Daylight rehearsals and with his positive charism he brought new energy into the band. The guys wrote new song material and decided to give the recording of the debut album another try. With 80 % finished songs, endless ideas and new motivation, Daylight entered a professional recording studio in 2002. The time in the studio welded all the members back together and created an unbelievable harmony. The result was a powerful and innovative finished album (Vague Pictures of Amazing Moments). The Album was released by Incendiary Records and got phenomenal magazine reviews.
Daylight played lots of shows and released another mini CD (The Dead End Kids EP) along with the repress of the debut Album in 2003. Since then the band played a few shows from time to time. Another line-up change followed and Fabian was replaced by Alex (Drums). The next two members (Michael and Alan) are about to leave Daylight to concentrate on their other band. The outstanding members have written a lot of awesome songs and are currently looking for a new singer and a bass player to come back in 2006 with a new album and a lot of energy driven shows.

4) Daylight is a Dutch rock band from the Netherlands. The band brings a unique pop/rock meets britrock music style which relies heavy on catchy riffs and multivocals.

Think: Oasis, U2, Manics, Coldplay sown together with a healthy dose of indie rock&roll.

Matthijs Ypenburg - guitar, vocals
Bart van Kampen - guitar, vocals
Pascal van Baren - drums

Selfish
Daylight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The end is far away.
Not getting too much sleep these days.
These things I can't explain.
Just wishing for an early grave,
but they don't understand me.

I wanna be selfish.

Only reason I'm still alive,
Can't stand to see my mother cry.
I'll suffer through.
Only reason I won't die,
Can't stand the tears in her eyes.
I'll be home soon.

The saddest thing is,
it's the only thing that I want.
I wonder sometimes why
I don't just give up and take my life.
And they have no idea,
that I'm so close to my dying day.
I hate this feeling.
There's no healing.
There's no coming back from this hell.

(I wish that I could make you see)
(I wish that I could face today)

I want to be free from this.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daylight's song "Selfish" express the struggles of someone who feels trapped in their own pain and unable to escape it. The singer describes feeling like the end is far away while at the same time not getting enough sleep. They express their wish for an early death that others just can't seem to understand. Through the lyrics of the song, we can see that the singer has suffered a great deal of heartache and pain in their life, leading them to feel like there's no way out of their misery, and the only way to escape is through death. They feel like they are being selfish because they are only thinking about themselves, but at the same time, it feels like it's the only way out.

The singer then shifts focus in the lyrics, reflecting on their mother and how she's the only reason they are still alive. They can't bear to see her cry and suffer, so they keep going through their struggles just for her sake. The intensity of their anguish is evident as they reveal how close they are to their "dying day," and how there's no coming back from the "hell" they're experiencing. The singer's pain is palpable, as they express their hopelessness and desire to be free from their torment.
