Daybreak
V.I.P. (SPA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To watch you descend
While your taxi slowed
Outside my home
For the last drive by
I went 'round for to fill your sail
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
And God gave us guts
To have feelings, to spill
But why would you let them show
When they look like this
What a way to wake
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
Break the day
Break the day
With your fire light
We'll break the day
The lyrics of V.I.P. (SPA)’s song “Daybreak” describe the melancholic feeling of watching someone you care about leaving your life. The singer describes standing in the hall of the person’s home, watching them descend the stairs while their taxi slows outside the singer’s home for their final goodbye. The singer explains that they went to fill the person’s sail, in other words, to give them a boost and support them in their journey, even if it means the end of their own journey with that person.
The chorus, “What a way to wake, we’re cracking with the break of day,” serves as a metaphor for the pain of letting go. The singer acknowledges that God gave us emotions and allowed us to express them freely, but why show those feelings when they only make us look weak and vulnerable? Nonetheless, the singer still breaks the day with their own “fire light,” suggesting that they will continue to move forward despite the heartbreak.
“Daybreak” captures the bittersweet sentiment of both moving on and holding on. It is a reminder that even though letting go can be tough, it is also necessary for growth and to not hold on too tightly to something that was either never really there or that no longer serves us.

I went 'round to stand in your hall
I visited your house and stood in your hallway
To watch you descend
To see you come down
While your taxi slowed
When your car was slowing down
Outside my home
In front of my house
For the last drive by
The final time I will see you in your car driving away
I went 'round for to fill your sail
I came to support you and give you energy for your journey
What a way to wake
This is a great way to start my day
We're cracking with the break of day
We are feeling energized now that the sun is coming up
And God gave us guts
We are brave because we were given courage by a higher power (God)
To have feelings, to spill
To express emotions and let them out
But why would you let them show
Why would you reveal your emotions
When they look like this
When they might not seem positive to others
Break the day
Let's start our day with vigor
With your fire light
Using your passion and energy
We'll break the day
We will start the day with a burst of energy
