The song "Daydream" by Johnny Orlando reflects on the mixed emotions and feelings that arise after a breakup. The lyrics depict the conflicting emotions experienced when someone you love brings you both happiness and heartache. The song begins by expressing the singer's fondness for the person they are addressing. They appreciate the person's presence and the love they bring, but hate how they eventually leave. The singer admits that despite the pain, they still love being brought down to their lowest point by this person. The chorus emphasizes the singer's struggle to sleep without their love interest. They find themselves staying up at night, unable to find rest, and instead, find solace in daydreaming about the past relationship and everything they used to have. They express a longing to turn back time and get their love back to find peace and closure. The second verse refers to the contrast between the coldness of the West Coast and the attraction they feel towards their love interest in New York. The singer mentions a change in musical taste, symbolizing the compromises they were willing to make in their relationship. However, when the person they love claims that forever is too far, the singer realizes that they didn't want their heart in the first place. Confusion sets in as they question where the love went and how nothing seems to make sense anymore. Overall, "Daydream" encapsulates the conflicting emotions felt after a breakup – the love, longing, confusion, and desire to turn back time. Johnny Orlando's song delves into the rollercoaster of emotions and the bittersweet memories that the end of a relationship can bring.
