Daydrinker by Hrada
Daydrinker deals with the concept of feeling your true potential being trapped within a situation, time or place. That by mere coincidence and circumstance, all that you want to be and know you could be, is held back and kept from the world. The nature of light being dimmed and darkness taking hold.
The song was a way of dealing with our own experiences with self doubt while processing the experience of close people in our lives that had to deal with and in the worst cases succumb to demons of doubt, depression and substance abuse.

Lyrics
Daydrinker
The sun is rising
Shining on a new mistake
Where did my love go?
Guess the habits hard to break
It would be wise to sleep much longer
But I’d probably lose my mind
This small town skyline
It doesn’t pressure me at all
I’m already on the floor
There is no height left to fall
The grand piano looks so lonely
I know exactly how she feels…
I never had a penny to my name
But I know that I could change this world in some small way
Placed in the shade, daydrinker by trade
I wake up to see there’s nobody here except me
Shadows form to dance mockingly.
I am fine with telling everyone I’m fine
truth is that I’ve been on a steady decline
I’ve been chasing wisdom all night long
The courage to change anything…
I was never OK with dwindling away
hoping to do something right despite my shame
Slowly self-made, daydrinker by trade.
Here comes the rain (here´s my old friend)
I’m stuck in this hellavator going down again
What’s left to gain?
I’ve been looking for shelter long enough
To ease my pain..
Am I willing to say;
I do know the difference after all?
I think I’m fine with feeling small today
Tomorrow holds a promise that will change my ways
Finally at bay…
I wake up to see, there is no one to rescue me.
Darkness tends to move so silently
