Nouns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you all begged me
And for once, I felt powerful
In my head, they accepted me
Said I wasn′t crazy
And for once, I felt alright
And you all mourned me
And for once, I felt at peace
In my head, they knew me
Said I was their friend
And for once, I felt like living
I felt like living
The song "Daydream" by Nouns is a powerful and emotionally charged piece of music. The lyrics are a dark and introspective exploration of the inner thoughts and desires of the singer, as they struggle with feelings of powerlessness, rejection, and loneliness. In the first verse, the singer describes a fantasy in which they have total control over the people around them and can even take their lives. This fantasy makes them feel powerful for once, giving them a sense of agency and control that they may not experience in their real life.
The second verse continues this theme of longing for acceptance and belonging. The singer imagines a world in which they are not viewed as crazy, but instead embraced and recognized for who they are. In this world, they feel not only accepted but also at peace with themselves and those around them.
The final verse is a powerful reflection on the nature of friendship and the importance of being known and understood by others. The singer imagines a scenario in which they are not rejected or feared, but instead loved and appreciated for who they are. This sense of belonging and connection to others is what makes life worth living, and the singer feels alive for the first time by imagining this reality.
