Daniel
Mr Twin Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hotels are loneliest
in little miss New Jersey
Back to work and on your feet
and oh, you're so far away
and God knows when
I'd ever get the chance
to touch your hands
you're so far away
it hurts so bad
Softly walk away from me
Goodbyes are loneliest
When you know we'll never meet
Face to face or feet to feet
and oh, you're so far away
and God knows when
I'd ever get the chance
to touch your hands
you know we'll never date let alone be friends
you're so far away
it hurts so bad
The song "Daniel" by Mr Twin Sister is about unrequited love and the pain of distance. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of being infatuated with someone who is physically far away and out of reach. The first verse conveys the singer's longing for this person, as they are seen making eyes at them, but they know they will never get a chance to date or be friends as they are so far away. The second verse is a final goodbye as they softy walk away, with the singer knowing that they will never meet face to face or even feet to feet. This leaves the singer feeling lonely and hurt, as the distance between them seems insurmountable.
The lyrics in "Daniel" are poetic and paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotions. The use of words like "loneliest" and "hurts so bad" convey the depths of the singer's infatuation and pain. The repetition of the line "and oh, you're so far away" emphasizes the distance between them and the seeming impossibility of ever getting close. The overall tone of the song is melancholic and bittersweet, as the singer is unable to make a connection with their object of desire.
