Daylight Lyrics
We cut the legs off of our pants
Threw our shoes into the ocean Sit back and wave through the daylight Sit back and wave through the daylight Slip and slide on subway grates These shoes are poor mans ice skates Fall through like change in the daylight Fall through like change in the daylight I miss yellow lines in my roads Some color on monochrome Maybe I'll paint them in myself Maybe I'll paint them in myself These sidewalks liquid then stone Building walls and an old pay phone It rings like all through the daylight It rings like all through the daylight And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine I hope that someday I'll see without these frames And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone Because in the daylight anywhere feels like home I have five clocks in my life And only one has the time right I'll just unplug it for today I'll just unplug it for today Open hydrant rolled down windows This car might make a good old boat And float down grand street in daylight And float down grand street in daylight And with just half of a sunburn New yellow lines that I earned Step back and here comes the night time Step back and here comes the night time And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine I hope that someday I'll see without these frames And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone Because in the daylight anywhere feels like home |

I hope that someday I’ll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
And only one has the time right
I’ll just unplug it for today
I’ll just unplug it for today
the spontaneuous, chance taking, who-gives-a-fuck tone delivered in those lines literally makes me giddy with happiness.
i was lower than low today, until i listened to that song.
it made everything better for 2 minutes or so.
:)

I don't think he means glasses, I think he means the frames around the windshield.
He's talking about how amazing it is to cruise &see the whole world,
and maybe some day he'd be able to experience all these wonderful things without the containment of the car.

upon re-reading peacelovekenz's post about the windshield frame, i can see it is very similar to what i said, the reason i think it's glasses and not a windshield is because (1.)'these frames' is plural, if he were referring to the frame of a windshield, he would probably just say 'this frame' (2.) perhaps this isn't valid, but i've never really heard someone refer to a windshield as a frame. i can see how it does in a sense "frame" your view when you're driving, but i personally would find this to be a very random metaphor.
now i feel like a tool for over analyzing this awesome song, but i just wanted to put in my 2 cents here... ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER!! too bad i just heard it on a Bacardi commercial... blahhh

No, just kidding. I was getting tired of reading comments on other songs that claim every effing song is about drugs.
Anyway, I think everyone else hit the nail right on the head. :) It's pretty simple, but that's not such a bad thing, is it?
Wonderful beat, wonderful message. Makes me want to go have fun, skip down the street, roll down a hill, dance in the sprinklers; that kind of thing. :)

I think that the song is just like what everyone said it is =)

I think it's about creating your own happiness. If life gives you sadness, become happy with what you have and what you can make.
Slip and slide on subway grates
These shoes are poor mans ice skates
Fall through like change in the daylight
Fall through like change in the daylight
Life can be happy if you chose for it to be. We just need to learn how to create it and take it in.
wow, sorry. i sound like a cheese ball.

So this song doesn't have meaning, and I'd be surprised if any other song of theirs had much meaning. I think the lyrics are just an additive to their instrumental sound. It's not supposed to be analyzed.

P.S. the gas is shut off in my building due to a leak and a rumor of the building almost exploding… and while we didn’t die then, there is now no heat… so lets see if we make it through the night."
Straight from their website.
