Daydreamin'
Houis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So soft,
You’re floating in my mind,
To take me up to paradise,
I hope I never realise
I got caught up in a daydream,
Thinking ‘bout you lately
If only you could come, back and save me
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
No I can't,
Think of any other place so wonderful,
Singing in the wind, whenever I'm alone,
Takes me somewhere else.. when I don't belong
(When I don't belong)
I got caught up in a daydream,
Thinking ‘bout you lately
Stargazing with you baby
If only you could come, back and save me
If only you could come, back and save me
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
Pre Chorus:
Now I'm holding onto something I don't know,
Been ridin’ on this train, on my own
Looking for a star that feels like home
But I'm too far gone
I got caught up in a daydream,
Thinking ‘bout you lately
Stargazing with you baby
If only you could come, back and save me
If only you could come, back and save me
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
I'm stuck inside a daydream
The lyrics of Houis's song "Daydreamin'" depict a person who frequently finds themselves lost in thoughts and daydreams about someone they deeply desire. The first verse establishes the intensity of their emotions, as they admit to feeling the presence of this person almost every night, as if they are softly floating in their mind. The daydreams serve as a means of escape and offer a glimpse of paradise, yet the person hopes they never come to realize the full extent of their longing.
The chorus expresses the person's inability to escape their daydreams, emphasizing their feelings of being stuck. They confess to being caught up in this fantasy, constantly thinking about the person they desire. The mention of stargazing with this person suggests a romantic connection and highlights their longing for their presence. The plea for the person to come back and save them underscores the depth of their yearning.
In the second verse, the person admits that they cannot think of any other place as wonderful as their daydreams. When they are alone, they sing in the wind, which transports them to a different realm where they no longer feel like they belong. This further emphasizes the role of daydreaming as a means of escape.
The pre-chorus brings a sense of uncertainty and yearning for something more tangible. The person is now holding onto something they don't fully understand, riding a metaphorical train on their own. They seek a star that feels like home, but they fear that they have already gone too far to find it.
Overall, "Daydreamin'" is a song that captures the longing and yearning one feels for someone they desire but cannot have. It portrays daydreaming as both an escape and a form of torture, trapping the person within their own fantasies.
