Daytime TV
Dear Seattle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ba da ba ba
Da da da, da da da da da da
Ba da ba ba
You're like cheap wine to my channel 9
'Cause 60 minutes never felt so damn right
Days 1, 2, 3 are staring at me
As I stare at my phone and start pondering
How bad it would be to just be me
But I know that I should suffer
'Cause WikiHow is saying that to be a good lover
I have to understand my lover's boundaries, boundaries
Da da da, da da da da da da
Ba da ba ba
If you knew me it would be easier to see
That I'm a product of my anxiety
But I count to 3 and remember to breathe
As I stare into space and start conjuring some words
To make you love me
But that's all that I can muster
'Cause Dr Phil is saying that to be a good lover
I have to show this girl that I have empathy, empathy
Da da da, da da da da da da
Ba da ba ba
Da da da, da da da da da da
Ba da ba ba
But I know that I should suffer
'Cause Dr. Phil is saying that to be a good lover
I have to understand my lover's boundaries
You're like cheap wine to my channel 9
'Cause 60 minutes never felt so damn right
'Cause I know the rules of the game are working against me
Days 1, 2, 3 are staring at me
As I stare at my phone and start pondering
How bad it would be to just be me
"Daytime TV" by Dear Seattle is a song that delves into the complexities of relationships in the modern era. The opening lines of the song, "You're like cheap wine to my channel 9, 'cause 60 minutes never felt so damn right," paint a picture of someone who has succumbed to the mindless distractions of daytime television, using it as a way to escape from the reality of their failing relationship. As they continue to stare at their phone endlessly, they wonder whether it would be better to just be alone, or try to make their significant other fall in love with them again.

Repetition of a catchy tune, with no specific meaning
You're like cheap wine to my channel 9
You are an escape for me, but not a healthy one
'Cause 60 minutes never felt so damn right
Watching TV shows brings me joy
'Cause I know the rules of the game are working against me
I understand that society's standards do not work in my favor
Days 1, 2, 3 are staring at me
Time is passing and I feel stuck
As I stare at my phone and start pondering
I am reflecting on my own situation
How bad it would be to just be me
I feel like being myself is not enough
But I know that I should suffer
I understand that growth comes from pain
'Cause WikiHow is saying that to be a good lover
I am seeking advice but not necessarily finding it helpful
I have to understand my lover's boundaries, boundaries
I need to respect my partner's limits
If you knew me it would be easier to see
I am struggling to make myself understood
That I'm a product of my anxiety
My anxiety plays a significant role in my life
But I count to 3 and remember to breathe
I am trying to calm myself down
As I stare into space and start conjuring some words
I am daydreaming about what I could say to win someone over
To make you love me
I want to be loved and accepted by someone
But that's all that I can muster
My attempts to connect with others often fall short
'Cause Dr Phil is saying that to be a good lover
I am seeking advice but not necessarily finding it helpful
I have to show this girl that I have empathy, empathy
I need to understand and validate my partner's feelings
But I know that I should suffer
I understand that growth comes from pain
'Cause Dr. Phil is saying that to be a good lover
I am seeking advice but not necessarily finding it helpful
I have to understand my lover's boundaries
I need to respect my partner's limits
You're like cheap wine to my channel 9
You are an escape for me, but not a healthy one
'Cause 60 minutes never felt so damn right
Watching TV shows brings me joy
'Cause I know the rules of the game are working against me
I understand that society's standards do not work in my favor
Days 1, 2, 3 are staring at me
Time is passing and I feel stuck
As I stare at my phone and start pondering
I am reflecting on my own situation
How bad it would be to just be me
I feel like being myself is not enough
