01 Very Little Daylight
navarro dave Lyrics

The song "Very Little Daylight" by Dave Navarro speaks about the pain and hurt caused by secrets in a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer was aware that secrets could be hurtful to a relationship, but did not expect the secret their partner kept to be the thing that would kill them. The singer acknowledges that they did not try to be their partner's responsibility, but their partner never disclosed that they needed to be careful in being involved with them. The question "How many more will there be?" emphasizes the idea that the singer has had enough, and they wonder if there will be more secrets to unveil in their relationship.

The chorus of the song portrays the mixed emotions that the singer has with their partner. While they feel alone in the relationship, they continue to learn to pray and seek solace in their spirituality. They admit that they can't be what their partner wants them to be, and eventually fall away. The line "How many more will there be?" is repeated, which suggests that there will always be uncertainty about the future of their relationship.

In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that they never wanted to force themselves on the partner, but can't help but harm themselves trying to be with them. They express the desire to share themselves with their partner but cannot do that if their partner can't reciprocate. The line "You're the person I thought that you would be" indicates that their partner's actions have disappointed them.

The last section of the song highlights the aftermath of the relationship. The singer feels barely alive in their partner's absence, and they have come to the realization that they meant nothing to their partner. They end by saying "bury me high," which could reference their wish for a final resting place or their decision to move on from the relationship.
