about

Daylight was written a week before the first part of Everchanging was released.I had a lot of issues trying to sing over the original opening track to this EP, so I decided to write a new song in lieu of the song I took out. While looking for inspiration, I scanned through my notebooks where I wrote pages and pages of poetry in my adolescence. I was really inspired by the musings of a much more naive Nigel, that I wanted to write something that honoured that spirit.

As someone who is constantly soul searching, this song is about embracing what I'm passionate about to alleviate any anxieties I have. I thought the words I wrote when I was in my late teens absolutely fit in with the overarching theme in Everchanging. Thanks past-Nigel.

lyrics

I'm searching for the golden answer
The solution to all my problems
Even I know it can't be found
I try again just to break even

I tear my hands and I break my bones
Again and again until there's nothing left
But a ghost within the skin of a man

But I'm still getting used to waking up to brighter days
And finding my own way
Through this love I'll overcome
What holds me down

What exactly is that I'm longing for?
The Fragments given to me just don't belong
In the grand scheme of things
But I will never stop trying even though it is terrifying
To feel this low in so long
I have all these thoughts inside wishing for a way out of my mind
To see the light of day

But I'm still getting used to waking up to brighter days
And finding my own way
Through this love I'll overcome
What holds me down

I'll spill my guts just to say the things
That made me so afraid (of myself)
All these years I thought I can't
When I really could

But I'm still getting used to waking up to brighter days
And finding my own way
Through this love I'll overcome
What holds me down

I'll spill my guts just to say the things
That made me so afraid (of myself)
All these years I thought I can't
When I really could
