Daydreamer
Kid Ink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna go to sleep...
I don't wanna go to sleep...
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
'Cause I'm a daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
And I don't wanna go to sleep
I don't wanna to sleep
Til the morning
Til the morning

'Cause we got
One life to live can't be cloned
I don't care where we go
Any place but home the show goes on
Cameras action
Throwing in the air like graduates
New money new accents
A whole new world like Jasmine
Let me take you there
Probably never thought we'll make it here
I don't wanna go to sleep
But the haters tryna make my bed

They can never tuck me in
This where the fun begins
Night cap snap back
Yo dream have now been high jacked

I don't wanna go to sleep...
I don't wanna go to sleep...
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
'Cause I'm a daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
And I don't wanna go to sleep
I don't wanna to sleep
Til the morning
Til the morning

'Cause we got insomnia
I think it's time for me to
Lighten up like Hanukkah...
If you don't mind

Let's get high

I'm feeling like I might not remember tonight
My mind
Is spacing

Can't feel nothing but the basic
Ape shit crazy do it King Kong in this motherfucker
UFO parked right outside who tryna get abducted
Keep it rolling making movies we in post production
Nothing you can tell me

Just another night on Elm Street

I don't wanna go to sleep...
I don't wanna go to sleep...
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
Til the morning
'Cause I'm a daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
A daydreamer
And I don't wanna go to sleep
I don't wanna to sleep
Til the morning
Til the morning

I don't wanna go sleep




I don't wanna go sleep
I don't wanna go sleep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kid Ink's song "Daydreamer" represent a desire to live life to the fullest, even if it means staying up all night and ignoring the urge to sleep. The chorus sets up this mindset with the repetition of "I don't wanna go to sleep" and "til the morning," indicating a desire to extend the pleasures of the night. The subsequent repetition of "daydreamer" creates a parallel between the singer's desire for a fulfilling experience and a mental state of mind where one is lost in their imagination. The singer sees themselves as a daydreamer, someone who seeks excitement and adventure in their life.


The first verse sets up this desire by describing a willingness to go anywhere but home and to experience the thrill of being in front of the camera. The singer's use of "new money" implies a recent influx of wealth, and the following reference to "new accents" suggests the possibility of travel and all that comes with it. The lines "A whole new world like Jasmine / Let me take you there," reference the song from Disney's Aladdin and suggests that the singer is hoping to show their audience something new and exciting.


The second verse takes a slightly different turn, as the singer acknowledges that they may have indulged too much and is uncertain about what may happen tonight. However, even in this state, they are still determined to stay up and make the most of their time. The singer's proclamation that "just another night on Elm Street" creates an atmosphere of danger and unpredictability--an echo of the horror movie of the same name. Overall, the lyrics of "Daydreamer" convey a sense of urgency and an unapologetic attitude towards recklessness and adventure.
