Sunshiny Daydream
Splitsville Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream
Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream

When I awoke to such a bright day
I almost forgot that you'd gone away
So now I'm gonna have to pretend
I still have you
And I'm not alone

Under skies of blue

Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream
Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream

Couples in love are out in the streets (all the lovers, look at all the silly lovers, ahhhh)
To gaze at the sun and smile in the breeze (silly lovers)
So tell me honey
What am I supposed to do
But spend my day
Dreaming I'm with you?

Sunshiny Day, (Sunshiny Day) Sunshiny Daydream
Sunshiny Day, (Sunshiny Day) Sunshiny Daydream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Splitsville’s Sunshiny Daydream speak to the idea of losing someone you love, but attempting to find solace in the beauty of the world around you. The singer wakes up to a bright day and realizes that their loved one is gone. However, instead of wallowing in their sadness, they choose to “pretend” that they still have their partner with them and embrace the day. They also observe the other couples around them, acknowledging their love, and they ask themselves what they’re supposed to do without the one they love. Ultimately, the singer spends their day dreaming of being with their partner again, creating a “Sunshiny Daydream.”

The beauty of this song is in its dual nature. On the one hand, it is a love song about missing someone and imagining that they are still there with you. On the other hand, it is a song about the way that we can choose to see the world around us, even in difficult times. The imagery of the sun and blue skies is a powerful metaphor for the idea that if we look for beauty, even in the midst of our struggles, we can find it.

Overall, Sunshiny Daydream is a reminder that even in tough times, we can choose to find beauty and positivity in the world around us. It’s a testament to the power of imagination and the ability of music to lift us up and help us through difficult times.

Line by Line Meaning

A bright and cheerful day that leads to thoughts of a happy fantasy world.

When I awoke to such a bright day
Waking up to a day so filled with light that it's hard to remember the sadness of a recent loss.

I almost forgot that you'd gone away
The overwhelming cheer of the day almost erases the memory of someone who is no longer around.

So now I'm gonna have to pretend
Forced to imagine a happy ending despite being alone.

I still have you
Trying to hold onto any memories of the past relationship.

And I'm not alone
Even though the physical presence of the person is not there, the memory of them brings comfort.

Under skies of blue
The clear skies of the day create an optimistic atmosphere.

Couples in love are out in the streets (all the lovers, look at all the silly lovers, ahhhh)
Seeing happy couples together is a reminder of what has been lost, and it may seem ridiculous to the lonely person.

To gaze at the sun and smile in the breeze (silly lovers)
The happiness of the new couples without a care in the world is envy-inducing and laughable.

So tell me honey What am I supposed to do But spend my day Dreaming I'm with you?
