Daylight
Jump Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daylight turned the wind to blow the way it blows
Daylight is taking you on in a game of cat and mouse
Daylight is making it hard to leave the house
Daylight broke into your window in disguise
Daylight stole the diamonds from your starry eyes
Daylight is whispering lies to the looming thunder cloud
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
'Til the stars come out
Daylight tells the world your secrets and your dreams
Daylight is onto all your dark and shady schemes
Daylight shows all the world all the bad things you've done
Daylight knows everything underneath the sun
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
'Til the stars come out
Day after day
A downright hateful shade of lemon
Crimson and golden thunder clouds
Raining stones
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
Please fall asleep
Please go to sleep
'Til the stars come out
Yes, they have you singled out
they have you singled out
Yes, they have you singled out
yea yea yea yea
The lyrics to "Daylight" by Jump Little Children describe the all-seeing and all-knowing nature of the sun, personified as a powerful force that exposes secrets and sins. The opening lines paint a picture of the sun burning through the singer's fancy clothes and throwing the wind into disarray. The daylight is personified as a powerful figure that plays games of cat and mouse, whispering lies and revealing secrets. The singer begs for sleep, perhaps to escape the all-encompassing presence of daylight that forces them to confront uncomfortable truths.
The chorus is a plea for sleep as a way to escape the harsh light of day, suggesting that nightfall is a respite from the power of daylight. However, even in the darkness, the singer remains aware of the constant presence of daylight, which knows all their secrets, dreams, and sins. The final lines refer to the singer being "singled out" by daylight, as though they are under scrutiny from a higher power that is aware of everything they do.
The song is a commentary on the cyclical nature of human existence, the inevitability of secrets being revealed and the power of truth to shine through even the darkest of moments. The lyrics are expertly crafted to suggest a deep sense of unease and foreboding, as though the singer is being watched and judged by an all-knowing force.
