Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I'm not the one that you kiss
Reminisce, reminisce, reminisce
Status present with my senses dismissed
You gave me all these memories
But now you're just a memory
Everything you do is addicting as fuck
So everything I do is I miss you as fuck
So everything I do is just resist you and fuck
But not everything that pass me
Matter fact I just let one pass me
Cause I was daydreaming of you so nasty
Guess that's why they call me Papi Gnashty
Don't you get it, don't you get it?
I'll meet you in my daydreams if you with it
Nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams
Nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams
Nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams
Nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams
{Repeat 1x}
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, daydreams, oh-oh-oh
In Gnash's song "Daydreams," the singer is reflecting on a past relationship that he cannot let go of. He acknowledges that he knows he is not the person his former partner is currently with, but he is the one that they miss. He reminisces about their time together and how those memories are now all he has left of them. However, he is also aware that their relationship was addictive and distant at the same time, causing him to resist those feelings of missing them even when everything else he does is in reference to them.
The chorus of "Daydreams" indicates that Gnash is now longing for his former partner only in his daydreams. He wants to see them there because it is the only way he can experience being with them again. The repetition of the phrase "nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams" emphasizes how badly Gnash wants to be with his former partner, but not in reality.
The song speaks to the emotional turmoil that can come from a past relationship that haunts you. Despite the negative aspects of their relationship, Gnash is unable to let go of the positive moments they shared, hence why he longs to see them in his daydreams.

I know that I'm the one that you miss
I am aware that you long for me
Even though I'm not the one that you kiss
Despite not being the one you physically show affection to
Reminisce, reminisce, reminisce
Remember, remember, remember
Status present with my senses dismissed
I am in the current situation, but not fully present mentally
You gave me all these memories
You provided me with many memories
But now you're just a memory
You have now become a thing of the past
Everything you do is addicting as fuck
I am strongly drawn to everything you do
So everything I do is I miss you as fuck
In response, all I do is miss you greatly
And everything you do is so distant as fuck
You, in turn, are very aloof
So everything I do is just resist you and fuck
As a result, I try to resist thoughts of you and move on
But not everything that pass me
However, not everything that happens to me
Matter fact I just let one pass me
In fact, I let one opportunity slip by
Cause I was daydreaming of you so nasty
Because I was engrossed in salacious daydreams of you
Guess that's why they call me Papi Gnashty
Perhaps this is why I am nicknamed Papi Gnashty (a play on words with 'gnash' and 'nasty')
Don't you get it, don't you get it?
Don't you understand, don't you understand?
I'll meet you in my daydreams if you with it
I'll envision you in my fantasies if you're willing
Nowadays I want to see you in my daydreams
Recently, I desire to imagine you in my thoughts
