Daydream
Gone Baby Gone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a secret fascination
Maybe that's not right
Just by pure imagination
I wished you here tonight
Daydream, elevation
Only a charade
Cause I got my finger on the trigger
And my neck out on the blade

You're so far away from here

Tick tock the candles start their meltdown
Shadows at the scene
I like the way your wear your body
Doesn't mean that I'm obscene
Dream now no consequences
I'm already gone
I feel no guilt, I just see passion
And it always turns me on

You're so far away from here

One time's too much, I told you
You can't buy it all
And it's not that easy to forget me, is it

Was it easier to leave me than to love me
Was it easier to say you just don't care
Was it all a plot that you made up
Cause it got too hard, it got too tough
And it's not that easy to forget me, is it now





(repeat)

Overall Meaning

The song "Daydream" by Gone Baby Gone explores the theme of secret desires and fantasies. The singer admits to having a "secret fascination" for someone who is not physically present but is only present in their imagination. The singer imagines a scenario where the person is with them, but it is only a "charade" because they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill their desires, even if it means putting themselves in harm's way, hence the line "Cause I got my finger on the trigger, and my neck out on the blade."


The song takes on a slightly sinister tone when the candles start to burn down, and shadows fill the room. The singer is sexually attracted to the person they are thinking of, and there seems to be no moral dilemma about it. The lyrics "Dream now no consequences, I'm already gone," suggest that the singer has given in to their fantasies and doesn't care about the consequences. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the distance between the singer and the person they are thinking of by saying "You're so far away from here."


In conclusion, "Daydream" is a song about indulging in secret fantasies and chasing desires, regardless of the risks. It speaks to the primal urges that humans possess and the lengths to which some people will go to fulfill them.


Line by Line Meaning

I've got a secret fascination
I have a hidden obsession


Maybe that's not right
It might not be acceptable


Just by pure imagination
Only in my mind


I wished you here tonight
I desire your presence


Daydream, elevation
Fantasy, rising emotions


Only a charade
Just a facade


Cause I got my finger on the trigger
I am in control


And my neck out on the blade
Taking a risk


You're so far away from here
You are distant


Tick tock the candles start their meltdown
The candles are melting


Shadows at the scene
Obscure surroundings


I like the way you wear your body
I admire your physicality


Doesn't mean that I'm obscene
Does not make me vulgar


Dream now no consequences
Imagine without repercussions


I'm already gone
I am detached


I feel no guilt, I just see passion
I experience no shame, only desire


And it always turns me on
It excites me


One time's too much, I told you
I warned you once is enough


You can't buy it all
You cannot have everything


Was it easier to leave me than to love me
Was abandoning me simpler than loving me


Was it easier to say you just don't care
Was admitting indifference simpler


Was it all a plot that you made up
Was it a fabricated scenario


Cause it got too hard, it got too tough
Because it was too difficult


And it's not that easy to forget me, is it now
Forgetting me is not simple, is it?
