The song focuses on a lover who pushed Harry away despite all his affection for her. In a May 2022 interview for the Howard Stern Show, the British singer declared that “Daylight” was written in a “stream-of-consciousness” style after ruminating on a relationship all night—the band stayed up until daylight to finish composing the song.
Additionally, after numerous speculations, Styles confirmed to Howard Stern that the song had no connection to his former girlfriend Taylor Swift’s track “Daylight” from the album "Lover"—a song about finding a healthy new love after a period of toxic relationships.
"You are reading too much into it. You know I’d love to tell you that you’re spot-on, but you’re not. We will always wonder."
"We were like, ‘We have to find a way to stay awake and finish this, because if we all go to bed, then this won’t turn out the way it would if we finished tonight.’ So we powered through, finished it and went down to the beach as the sun was coming up and it was like, ‘Okay. Yeah.’ It felt correct that we’d finished it in that place. Life, and songs in particular, are so much about moments. In surfing, for example, sometimes you don’t get the wave and sometimes the wave comes and you haven’t practised. But every now and again, the wave comes and you’re ready, you’ve practised enough that you can ride it. Sometimes when the songs write themselves like that, it feels like, ‘Okay, there’s a reason why sometimes I sit out there, falling off the board a bunch. It’s for this moment."

Harry Styles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're in your airplane seat
I was nose bleedin'
Lookin' for life out there
Readin' your horoscope
You were just doing cocaine
In my kitchen, you never listen
I hope you're missin' me by now
If I was a bluebird
I would fly to ya
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be stickin' to you
Daylight, you got me cursin' the daylight (ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursin' the daylight (ooh)
Daylight, you got me callin' at all times (ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh)
Out of New York
I'm on the comedown speed
We're on bicycles
Sayin' there's life out there
You got the antidote
I'll take one to go, go, please
Get the picture, cut out my middle
You ain't got time for me right now
If I was a bluebird
I would fly to ya
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be stickin' to you
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Daylight, you got me callin' at all times (ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursin' the daylight (ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursin' the daylight (ooh)
Daylight, you got me callin' at all times (ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh)
If I was a bluebird
I would fly to ya
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be stickin' to you
The lyrics of "Daylight" by Harry Styles can be interpreted as a yearning for connection with someone who is physically absent. The first verse finds the singer on the roof, while the other person is in an airplane, representing not only distance but possibly also a class difference. The singer indicates they were looking for “life out there,” while the other person was “just doing cocaine,” further highlighting a sense of existential crisis within the singer.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Daylight, you got me cursin' the daylight," indicating a sense of frustration that the daylight is separating them from the other person. The line, "Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight" suggests the singer is struggling to cope with their own loneliness and longing for the other person.
The second verse suggests that the singer and the other person are in different places, with the singer on a comedown speed in New York City and the other person on bicycles claiming that there is “life out there.” The other person has "the antidote," suggesting they have the remedy for the singer’s emotional pain, but they are too busy for the singer right now.
Overall, the song is about the longing for connection with someone who is physically and/or emotionally distant. The singer is struggling to cope with their own loneliness and is eager to be with the other person who they believe has the solution to their problems.

@@ArtbyKurtisEdwards The singer, whom you listen and whom concert you attend to is in the masonry.
The actor, who`s films you love to watch is in the masonry. Involvement in the masonry club is the only reason for their success. You`ll know them by their fruits, therefore 1.) look their hands when they performing live for they are showing off freemasonry hand signs. 2.) pay close attention for through their concerts they performing also their rituals.
No warning is strong enough against the lake of fire, which is the 2nd death. (Revelation 20:14 KJV )
Time is ticking, man`s heart growing colder and keep being wicked (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV)
Laughing and mocking, when the gospel is heard.
Loving the lies and the sins so bad, these keeping one`s soul far from salvation. (Proverbs 15:29 KJV )
freemasonry is real club and big club, and the master of the club is lucifer.
in the clubs are:
singers
actors
politics
police
judges
business mens and womens
scientists
medicine personal (mostly doctors)

To those who are still seeking, still questioning, still not sure about their faith, here's an invitation.
Understand that we, as humans, are limited. We often make mistakes, go astray, and lose our way. It's not about perfection; no one is. As it is stated in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Recognize that actions alone won't bring ultimate salvation. It's not about counting good deeds against the bad. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Believe in the transformative power of love and forgiveness embodied in Jesus Christ. He laid down His life so we could find ours. The Bible states in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
True change and enlightenment come when we turn away from our old life and towards a new one – one guided by compassion, love, and humility. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
Express your faith, not only in words but also in actions. Embrace love, kindness, and righteousness, just like how Jesus lived His life. As Romans 10:9 suggests, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Consider baptism, a symbolic gesture of your new journey, your decision to leave the old behind, and embark on a new life in Him. Matthew 28:19 encourages us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Lastly, remain steadfast. Consistency in following Jesus and His teachings is the key. As Jesus says in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commands."
This is not a demand but a warm invitation. .
