Dayshell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm craving thoughts that slowly become a weapon
of mass destruction
Come ranking the few the bed so enticing and mesmerizing
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
Can fight the urge to merge into the question that goes without being said
I'm insecure if the world would prefer I'll leave here..as long as I'm with you.
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play..
This is my future
That I wanted to live
My endless endeavors
You killed and destroyed
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play..
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
I wanna get up tonight
and sail away to the play endless paradise
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play
The lyrics to "Avatar" by Dayshell appear to be about a person who is struggling with their own thoughts and emotions, which are becoming like a weapon of mass destruction. They crave the comfort and safety of being with someone they love, someone who is mesmerizing and enticing to them. They express a desire to escape from the world and sail away to a place where they can find endless paradise, where they don't have to worry about anything else.
They also express some insecurity and uncertainty about where they stand in the world. They wonder if they should leave and if the world would be better off without them. Despite this, they know that as long as they are with the person they love, they will be okay.
The second half of the song seems to take a darker turn. The singer tells us that this paradise that they've been dreaming of is actually their future, but it has been killed and destroyed. This seems to suggest that something has happened to prevent the singer from achieving their dreams or living the life they wanted. Despite this, they still long for the paradise they've been dreaming of and want to sail away to it.
Overall, the lyrics to "Avatar" seem to be about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, the desire for a safe haven and escape from the world's problems, and the pain of having one's hopes and dreams destroyed.

I cannot resist the temptation to delve into the unspoken, unknown areas of my mind.
I'm insecure if the world would prefer I'll leave here..as long as I'm with you.
I worry that if I depart from this world, I may not be missed, but as long as I have you, I am content.
This is my future, That I wanted to live, My endless endeavors, You killed and destroyed
My aspirations for the future were ruined by your actions and cruelty.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play..

I wanna get up tonight and sail away to the play endless paradise
Repeat of the desire to leave and enter a state of continuous happiness.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play..

Lyrics :
I'm craving thoughts that slowly become my weapon of mass destruction.
Come light the fuel, the burn is so enticing, and mesmerizing.
I want to get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise,
I want to get up tonight.
Can't fight the urge to merge into the question
That goes without being said.
I'm insecure if the world would prefer I'll leave here,
As long as I'm with you.
I want to get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play.
This is my future,
That I wanted to live.
My endless endeavors,
You can't destroy it.
I want to get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play.
Get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Get up tonight,
Sail away to the play endless paradise.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play.
Sail away, sail away, sail away to the play.
