David Kushner – Daylight Lyrics
Telling myself I won’t go thereOh, but I know that I won’t careTryna wash away all the blood I’ve spiltThis lust is a burden that we both shareTwo sinners can’t atone from a lone prayerSouls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
There’s darkness in the distanceFrom the way that I’ve been livin’But I know I can’t resist it
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same timeYou and I drink the poison from the same vineOh, I love it and I hate it at the same timeHidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightFrom the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightOh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Tellin’ myself it’s the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might findIf I’m down on my knees again?Deep down, way down, Lord, I tryTry to follow your light, but it’s night timePlease, don’t leave me in the end
There’s darkness in the distanceI’m beggin’ for forgiveness (ooh)But I know I might resist it, oh
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same timeYou and I drink the poison from the same vineOh, I love it and I hate it at the same timeHidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightFrom the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightOh, 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 vineOh, I love it and I hate it at the same timeHidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightFrom the daylight, runnin’ from the daylightOh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
About
On April 14, 2023, David Kushner unveiled his eagerly anticipated single, “Daylight.” In the pensive ballad, the singer-songwriter reflects on the paradox of desires that may be harmful to ourselves. In an interview with Paper Magazine, Kushner explains this concept:
With my song “Daylight,” I aim to convey the paradoxical desire for something that is simultaneously harmful to oneself, using elements of light and darkness. The lyrics, “Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time/You and I drink the poison from the same vine,” encapsulate this concept.
Also, the story is based on biblical references that inspired Kushner as a child:
I would want to do things that would lead to darkness but also want to be in the light. Those are real things. We all go through darkness and we all have brighter moments, too. [This song] speaks from my own life experiences. To me, it’s a realization of my own desires and the complexity of those desires. The desire for light, but always running towards the darkness instead of light.
