DAYBREAK
Lisa Ekdahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the moon's still floating high
What a wonderful surprise
I close my eyes
And dream of you
I'm dreaming at daybreak
And the world's so far behind
I'm still dreaming of you
You're from above
My one and only love
There's no other
At daybreak
All I want is you forever
That's why it's true whenever daybreaks
I'm still dreaming of you
Lisa Ekdahl's song Daybreak is a simple yet meaningful song about dreaming of someone you love. The song begins with the singer admiring the moon still up high during the daybreak, which is a wonderful surprise. She then closes her eyes and dreams of the person she loves. During the daybreak, the world seems far behind, and that's why she always finds herself still dreaming of her loved one. She believes that this person is her one and only love, and nothing can replace them. Daybreak is a time when all she wants is to be with this person forever, and that's why it's true that whenever daybreaks, she's still dreaming of them.
The song's chorus is simply beautiful and conveys the singer's feelings for her loved one. The lyrics "I'm dreaming at daybreak, and the world's so far behind. That's why I always find at daybreak, I'm still dreaming of you" are particularly poignant as they show how one can be lost in thought of someone they love even when everything seems distant and unimportant. The song's tone is gentle, and Lisa's voice is soothing, making it easy to listen to and fall in love with.
