Pressure
Dayshell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The guilt makes me hesitate. I never meant to put this on you
"Pressure"
I thought I made it clear (I'm good for nothing)
Stay far away from here (Pressure on, pressure on the wound)
I wish you'd disappear (I'm good for nothing)
"Pressure"
Don't look so surprised baby. Remove me from your hopes and dreams
This heart wasn't meant to feel
I told you I'd hurt less without you
Hold me, feel my despair for love
Please be happy I'm giving up
I thought I made it clear (I'm good for nothing)
Stay far away from here (Pressure on, pressure on the wound)
I wish you'd disappear (I'm good for nothing)
And stay far away from here
Im lost in the ocean
There's no light house in sight
Can't explain this emotion
Bring me back to life
I thought I made it clear (I'm good for nothing)
Stay far away from here (Pressure on, pressure on the wound)
I wish you'd disappear (I'm good for nothing)
And stay far away from here
Hold me, feel my despair for love (Pressure on, pressure on the wound)
Please be happy I'm giving up
"Pressure"
The song "Pressure" by Dayshell explores the pain and guilt of a broken relationship. The singer pleads with his partner to see him for who he truly is, despite the mistakes he has made. He also expresses his desire for his partner to leave and disappear from his life, as he believes he is not good enough for them. The phrase "pressure on the wound" is repeated throughout the song, which could symbolize the pain and hurt caused by the failed relationship.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of pressure, where the singer wishes his partner to stay away from him and expresses his belief that he is "good for nothing". He believes that he will experience less pain if his partner leaves him. The lines "Hold me, feel my despair for love, Please be happy I'm giving up" show the turmoil and sadness the singer is feeling, as he realizes that he has lost the love of his partner.

Real good song really good song love it a classic song!!!
@Engineer_Heathen
Really hope a label picks you up shay. You're way too talented. Been rocking this song constantly past two days.
@thekiminthenorth504
Although he doesn't want label anymore coz he is fed up with them all.. I genuinely think that Sharptone should pick them up..
@bobotheduck8191
@The Kim In The North pick him up*
@Engineer_Heathen
@The Kim In The North recently he's said he hopes a record label sees his single and picks up the album. This way he can tour with a record label. And it would give him some extra cash. But he said if nobody picks him up then he'd just release it himself. I know he's said he's sick of how record labels treat bands, but it comes down to the $ at the end of the day.
@thekiminthenorth504
@Bobo The Duck I know.. only member in the band..
@thekiminthenorth504
@Engineer okay.. labels are necessary unless you're as big as Linkin Park..
@TezzyNC
Ope, I stumbled upon something great. 😍
@dayshellofficial

@Somebodystolemyusername
My God...the hook in this song is infectious. Best rock vocalist on the planet. His new album Pegasus is now out, and it kicks nine kinds of ass.
