David Kushner is becoming recognized more and more as one of the young generations’ emerging stars. He made a comeback in April 2023 with the track Daylight, and audiences adored the song’s message. Let’s examine a captivating video with lyrics that discuss our inner selves and have a profound significance; you can find the full lyrics at the end of the article.
Daylight: the lyrics and their meaning
Daylight is a song about the part of us attracted by darkness, even when we are generally driven by light. David Kushner is forthright with himself in the lyrics, admitting that he is a fine man who makes an effort to live up to his ideals and act morally. However, temptations are powerful, and you must occasionally resist them.
The dual essence of our spirits is eloquently captured in Daylight’s lyrics. It’s as if we have two voices speaking to us at once: one telling us to do what is right and the other praising how nice it would be to make an exception and turn toward sin.
Telling myself I won’t go there
Oh, but I know that I won’t care
Tryna wash away all the blood I’ve spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can’t atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by pride and guilt
In fact, the language utilized is religious language. You start concentrating on your true purpose when it comes to temptations and when life is about recognizing what is right and what is wrong. What should motivate your acts and why do you live? It has to do with understanding your true self. And the answers that people often provide to those queries involve their faith. David Kushner is unquestionably a believer from this perspective: he is aware that he should live by healthy ideals, identifies with those values, and objects when a voice inside himself pulls him in a different direction.
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from thе daylight
Even while it may seem harder than other ways of living, it is unquestionably a valuable way to live. We are aware of both what should be done and what our instincts are telling us to do. Even though we are aware of how challenging it is, we refuse to give up on this fight. Our responsibility remains the same: we are obligated to maximize our lives. And even while sins can be fascinating at times, we must remember that this is not the path we should take. With this attitude, we will never compromise our defining characteristics.
Tellin’ myself it’s the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might find
If I’m down on my knees again?
Deep down, way down, Lord, I try
Try to follow your light, but it’s nighttime
Please don’t leave me in the end
In this interview, David affirmed that the Bible and his own life experiences served as the inspiration for the lyrics to Daylight: “I would want to do things that would lead to darkness, but I would also want to be in the light. Those exist in actuality. We all experience darkness, and we also all have times of light. [This song] is a reflection of my personal experiences. It represents the complexity of my own desires as well as my own accomplishment of them. the need for light, but continuously turning away from it and into darkness.
The complete lyrics
Telling myself I won’t go there
Oh, but I know that I won’t care
Tryna wash away all the blood I’ve spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can’t atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by pride and guilt
(Ooh) There’s darkness in the distance
From the way that I’ve been livin’
(Ooh) But I know I can’t resist it
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from thе daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hatе it at the same time
Tellin’ myself it’s the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might find
If I’m down on my knees again?
Deep down, way down, Lord, I try
Try to follow your light, but it’s nighttime
Please don’t leave me in the end
(Ooh) There’s darkness in the distance
I’m beggin’ for forgiveness
(Ooh) But I know I might resist it, oh
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
