The lyrics to "Daydream" by P.P. Michiels depict a man who is struggling with his own personal issues, while also trying to navigate a difficult relationship. The first verse conveys a sense of restlessness and insomnia, as the singer confesses to watching his partner sleep. He acknowledges that his problems are not her fault, but also seems to be grappling with feelings of resentment and frustration. The second verse suggests that he has turned to substance abuse as a means of coping with his issues, but again admits that his partner is not to blame.
The chorus contains some of the most poignant lines in the song, as the singer laments his inability to provide for his partner in a material sense, and bemoans the fact that all he has to offer are "crazy daydreams" that are "not worth anything." This sense of inadequacy and worthlessness seems to be at the center of his turmoil, and it is compounded by the difficulty of trying to communicate with someone who "never listens" and is "so selfish." The final repetition of "It's hard to understand, it's so hard to be your man" underscores the sense of emotional distance between the singer and his partner, and suggests that their relationship may be doomed to fail.
