Daylight
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw sun rise, I saw sunlight
I am nothing, in the dark
And the clouds burst to show a daylight
Ooh and the sun shines, Yeah on this star of mine
Ooh and I realize, Ooh couldn't live without
Ooh couldn't part without, it
Like a first born, child
At a full tilt, and at full flight
You see darkness, in the daylight
Ooh and the sun shines, Yeah on this star of mine
Ooh and I realize, Ooh couldn't be without
Ooh couldn't part without, daylight
Slowly breaking through the daylight
The opening lines of Rockabye Baby!'s song Daylight are full of introspection and revelation. The singer confesses that they were surprised by their own daylight - perhaps referring to a newfound sense of purpose or direction. As they watch the sun rise and sunlight pour over them, they acknowledge that they were previously "nothing" in the dark. However, it's the bursting of the clouds that really strikes the singer - this grand moment of revelation is an almost overwhelming experience, which they liken to a star shining brightly.
The second verse sees the singer on a hilltop or skyscraper, and once again, they compare themselves to a child. They're at "full tilt," which could mean that they're throwing themselves into something with reckless abandon. And yet, even in this moment of extreme intensity, they still see "darkness in the daylight." This could be a reference to the idea that even in moments of clarity or joy, there may be an underlying sense of sadness or uncertainty.
What becomes clear throughout the song is that the singer is deeply reliant on this concept of "daylight." Without it, they couldn't live or part. It's a crucial element to their sense of self and their ability to navigate the world.
