Daylight
Joji & Diplo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
It's getting heated so I leave the windows open (leave the windows open)
Preoccupied with a late night B-roll
Right now, laying here alone is heaven (here alone is heaven)
And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in hell
And I've cried up and down in these hallways
Blamed myself
Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight
Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight
I don't care if you moved on
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up
Sun-dried on the backyard patio
Drunk eyes 'cause I didn't give it a home run
Yeah, yeah
You're hiding on the FM radio
I sing along just to sing my thoughts at someone
Yeah, yeah
And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in hell (I'm in hell)
And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
Blamed myself
Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight
Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight
I don't care if you moved on
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up
The lyrics to Joji and Diplo's song Daylight reflect the feeling of being trapped in a state of limbo. The opening lines, "Wide awake, getting half-past zero it's getting heated so I leave the windows open," paint a picture of someone who is restless and unable to sleep. They are preoccupied with their thoughts late at night and find solace in being alone. However, this loneliness is contrasted with feelings of helplessness and despair in lines like "And I've been a hero, helpless, I'm in hell."
The song touches on themes of regret and self-blame, with the narrator blaming themselves for past mistakes that have led to their current state of mind. Despite this, they seem to be trying to move forward and not let their mistakes define them. The chorus, "Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight, Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight, I don't care if you moved on, I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head," represents the desire to leave the past behind and move on to better things.
Overall, the lyrics of Daylight convey a sense of restlessness, loneliness, and despair, but also a desire to move forward and leave the past behind.

Things are getting intense, so I crack open the windows to let in some fresh air and cool down.
Preoccupied with a late night B-roll
My mind is occupied with thoughts of the past, like a late-night video outtake reel.
Right now, laying here alone is heaven (here alone is heaven)
In this quiet moment of solitude, I feel completely at peace.
And I've been a hero
In the past, I've been seen as someone who saves the day.
Helpless
But right now, I feel powerless and unable to change anything.

I'm trapped in a painful situation that I can't escape from.
And I've cried up and down in these hallways
I've been emotionally unstable and unable to hide my tears, even in public places.
Blamed myself
I've taken responsibility for things that weren't entirely my fault.
Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight
I've had a string of unfortunate events, and I don't want to be alone at midnight to dwell on them.
Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight
I'd rather face the day ahead than stay up all night worrying and struggling against the inevitable sunrise.
I don't care if you moved on
I'm not concerned about whether you've found someone else and moved on from our past.
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head
I refuse to let my problems and negative thoughts control me to the point where I can't even sleep.
Sun-dried on the backyard patio
The sun has dried up the moisture on the backyard deck, leaving everything out there hot and dried out.
Drunk eyes 'cause I didn't give it a home run
My eyes are glazed over because I didn't fully succeed at something I tried to do.
You're hiding on the FM radio
You're still out there, possibly making music, but I can only hear you on the radio.
I sing along just to sing my thoughts at someone
I sing along to your songs, not because I want to hear them, but because I want to express my own thoughts and feelings through them.
