Before the release of his E.P. Kevin spent his time on the road playing the piano for another fellow singer-songwriter, Trent Hancock. The tour life opened exciting opportunities like playing before indie heavy hitters Joe Brooks, Jason Reeves and Parachute. Upon the return of the tour was the release of his debut E.P. where he finally got to focus on his solo career. It’s not to uncommon to see a crowd of people surrounding Kevin on a Friday night, he plays weekly at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. With songs like “Angel” and “You and I”, these inspirational songs showcase his solid musicianship and creates the perfect cinematic scene to escape to when cruising down on the beach side.
Myself Through You
Kevin Daniel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Bout time I saw your
Shade of blue
I am watching myself stumble too
Inside I won't let go of you
I'm seeing myself through you
Well I get mad
When I regret
I understand
You had to run
From the songs I never sung
I'm seeing myself through you
'Bout time I saw your shade of blue
I am watching myself stumble too
Inside I won't let go of you
I'm seeing myself through you
Don't call me blind
Don't call me weak
Call me just another man at your feet
If I had to choose
Who to be
Well I guess I'm choosin' me
I'm seeing myself through you
'Bout time I saw your shade of blue
I am watching myself stumble too
Inside I won't let go of you
I'm seeing myself through you
Well I know when it hurts really bad
You lift me up
You lift me up
And despite all the mess that we have
You lift me up
So I know
It's time to go
So I'll go
I'm seeing myself through you
I'm seeing myself through you
I'm seeing myself through you
'Bout time I saw your
Shade of blue
I am watching myself stumble too
Inside I won't let go of you
I'm seeing myself through you
Ohhhh
I'm seeing myself through you
'Bout time I saw your shade of blue
I am watching myself stumble too
Inside I won't let go of you
I'm seein' myself through
I'm seein' myself through
I'm seein' myself through you
The lyrics in Kevin Daniel's song "Myself Through You" seem to be about a person who is looking at themselves through the eyes of another person. The first line, "I'm seeing myself through you," sets up the idea that the singer is examining themselves from a new perspective. Throughout the rest of the song, the singer mentions regrets and not expressing themselves fully. They acknowledge that the other person had to leave because of this deficiency. However, the singer is also learning more about themselves and seeing new aspects of their personality that they hadn't seen before. They mention a "shade of blue" which could potentially represent sadness or depression. Overall, it seems like the singer is going through a period of self-discovery, and using their experiences with this other person to gain insight into their own personality and behavior.
The chorus is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "I'm seeing myself through you" driving home the message of self-reflection. The line "Don't call me blind, don't call me weak, call me just another man at your feet" could be interpreted as the singer admitting to weaknesses and vulnerability. Yet, despite this, they also assert their own worth and encourage themselves to choose themselves above all else.
Overall, the song seems to be about the process of self-discovery and the importance of examining oneself honestly. By using the lens of another person's experience and perspective, the singer is forced to confront aspects of themselves they may not have wanted to examine before.
