Members include Rafique Ramleh, Shahid Rogers and Faheem Amir - known now as the architects of the mysterious #FlightOH665 that took KL by storm as seen on NME Asia and national news networks. So far, 2022 has been a year of constant experimentation - through music and their "unusual” marketing strategy - that's led many Malaysians to rediscover them in a new (edgier) light. As a footnote to their fluidness and dedication to going against the ordinary, they've decided to commit to a new sound, narrative and creative direction through their radically new concept EP titled 'ARE YOU OKAY?' that released on 4/20.

Delorean Daydream
The Peachskins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still thinking bout the things that you
Said to me
When you felt like you wanted a - memory
About a time when I was so - easily received
Oh but I'm glad that we're out of it

I'll stop pretending its a mystery
As to why you even had the t-t-thought of me

As someone you'd get it on with - get it on with
UGH. I'm so naive

I wish we could've worked
But she's just a Delorean Daydream

I wish we could've worked
But she's just a Delorean Daydream

I'll stop pretending its a mystery
As to why you even had the t-t-thought of me
As someone you'd get it on with - get it on with
UGH. I'm so naive

I wish we could've worked
But she's just a Delorean Daydream

I wish we could've worked
But she's just a Delorean Daydream

Overall Meaning

The Peachskins's song Delorean Daydream is about a failed relationship that has left the singer feeling regretful and slightly embarrassed about their naive behavior. The lyrics suggest that the singer had been taken advantage of by their former partner, who had no real interest in a serious relationship or emotional connection. This is evident in the lines "When you felt like you wanted a - memory / About a time when I was so - easily received."

The chorus of the song, "I wish we could've worked / But she's just a Delorean Daydream," refers to the idea of a delorean car as a symbol of an illusory or unrealistic idea. This is because the delorean is most famously known for its appearance in the Back to the Future films, in which it is used as a time machine. The singer is therefore acknowledging that they had placed unrealistic expectations on their relationship and that it was never going to work out.

The second verse reinforces this theme, as the singer admits that they had been naive to believe that their former partner had any genuine interest in them. The line "UGH. I'm so naive" shows that the singer is frustrated with themselves for not recognizing the truth about the relationship sooner.

Overall, the lyrics to Delorean Daydream are a commentary on the dangers of idealizing romantic partners and the importance of being aware of one's own vulnerabilities and shortcomings.
