The group's debut release came in August of 2018 in the form of a cover of Post Malone’s “Go Flex”. The cover saw over 1 million streams on Youtube within the first week of it’s release, which paved way for the duo to begin releasing their own original material. "We never thought the cover would go over as well as it did. Our intention was simply to get something out so we could establish an artist profile on digital outlets before releasing our original songs", the group says.
Over the next 6 months, several singles would follow, along with a cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's classic "Maps" (hitting #1 on the Hypem chart), all leading to the release of their debut LP, Awake & Dreaming. Dripping with their unique hazy pop flare, the album shows the many sides of the group’s versatility and ability in the sonic soundscape. Pulling no punches in their craft, Lucy Daydream are well on their way to making big indie waves.
Red
Lucy Daydream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sinking into the sea
I'm drowning for you
Are you bleeding for me?
It cuts to the bone
Sinking deeper in me
I'm dying for you
Are you bleeding for me?
'Cause all my thoughts turn red
I can't get you outta my head, head, head
Now all my thoughts turn blue
With every glimpse of you, of you
Holding my breathe
I just want you to see
I'm falling for you
Are you reaching for me?
I call it my home
Night stars in my sea
But I'm drowning for you
Are you bleeding for me?
'Cause all my thoughts turn red
I can't get you outta my head, head, head
Now all my thoughts turn blue
With every glimpse of you, of you
'Cause all my thoughts turn red
I can't get you outta my head
Now all my thoughts turned blue
With every glimpse of you
Heart like a stone
Sinking into the sea
I'm drowning for you
Are you bleeding for me?
'Cause all my thoughts turn red
I can't get you outta my head, head, head
Now all my thoughts turn blue
With every glimpse of you, of you
The lyrics in Lucy Daydream's song "Red" paint the picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone, but is unsure if their feelings are reciprocated. The opening lines, "Heart like a stone, sinking into the sea, I'm drowning for you, are you bleeding for me?", create an image of someone who is so consumed by their love that it feels like they are suffocating. They are willing to give everything they have to this person, but they are unsure if the same level of intensity is being reciprocated.
The chorus, "Cause all my thoughts turn red, I can't get you outta my head, head, head, now all my thoughts turn blue, with every glimpse of you, of you", describes a person who has become so fixated on their love interest that their thoughts are constantly consumed by them. The mention of red and blue signify a change in emotion; the person is experiencing an intense rush of emotions that is making them feel like they are drowning.
The second verse, "Holding my breath, I just want you to see, I'm falling for you, are you reaching for me?", highlights the desperate need for the other person to see and acknowledge the love that is being offered to them. The person feels vulnerable and open, with the night stars serving as their only refuge. However, they still feel like they are drowning, and are unsure if the other person is experiencing the same level of intensity and vulnerability.
Overall, "Red" is a powerful song that captures the intense emotions felt when falling in love with someone. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery that creates a sense of drowning and suffocation, highlighting the desperation to be seen and loved by the other person.

This one snuck up on me. I didn't know it, but my brain was playing it in the back of my head, and now I really love it. It's going to be neat seeing how much Lucy Daydream shows up out of nowhere in my Spotify wrap up next year.
