"Daydreamer" is the fourth track on the album A Different Kind of Human - Step 2. It was written by AURORA and Peter Wade and produced by AURORA, Askjell, Tim Bran and Roy Kerr.
About the song
According to AURORA, the song was the longest to get right on the album, saying: "It was done four days after the deadline. Even though I wrote it in two hours on my way to a session in the cab."[1]
The song talks about how humans should be day dreamers instead of one-dimensional people with little contact with the world and their true selves.
Lyrics
White, silicon eyes, watching storms, sitting quiet
Reading books in the heat of city lights
Bored, everyone's bored
When I'm restless, put me under the night life stars
And I will feel grounded
I know I'm just a girl, but can I change lives?
If I am nothing, if I am trying, I think I can
I step on broken glass, and dream of soft clouds
When feelings are heavy they become all we are
And we become night time dreamers
And street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
The quiet lust belongs to all of us
And drives us closer into the madness
Of the world, of a girl (And it suits me just fine)
'Cause everyone dies, and nobody loves
And somebody dies right now
I hear the quiet, sweet music that no one sings
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have is over
(Nothing can die)
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
(Nothing can die)
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have is over
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Then we become night time dreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
Street walkers and small talkers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
And we become night time dreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
Street walkers, small talkers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while, nothing can die)
Daydreamers
Music Video
A music video for this song is said to be made back in November 2019, but was scrapped, likely due to the promotion of her album having already ended.
