Saint Motel - Daydream / Wetdream / Nightmare Lyrics

I mean uh lmao word

I don't think any of them are what's actually happening. They're all dreams as suggested by the title. The first is the nightmare, the next the wet dream, and the last the daydream. Maybe the reality is a mix of all of them.

I hope the play this at the concert!!!

They don't sadly

Lyrics:

It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

I could die a happy man if I could be with you
Behind this eyes, I believe fantasies can come true
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

Find the time to be the man that you like to talk to
In dreams it seems, I can be anyone you want me to
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

Love me, hold me
Find me, on the off-beat
Hold my hand, say I'm your man
Take me down to the promised land

Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh

Sunlight, moonbeams
Your hands inside my dreams
Hold me close, don't let go
The promised land, away we go

Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh

Home is where the heart is
Down by the neighbor kids
Back where we use our given names

Sweet, sweet curiosity
Led me to this here street
Please don't make this go away

Don't wake up, wake up, wake up

Here, we can do as we please
Ohhh living free
Oh take it day by day

Sweet, sweet curiosity
Led me to this here street
Please don't make this go away

Don't wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wake up, wake up, wake up

This poor boys beard on fleek

The last part is the best

probably the best pop song this decade.

bruh is he still dreaming

I LOVE THIS SONG AND I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH APPARENTLY

hey guys, i've made a tab to this song, if u wanna check out: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/saint_motel/daydream_wetdream_nightmare_tabs_2588127

Eso es triste :'v

The first segment affected me more than it should have.

I know there's a lot of this from the fisherman's point of view, but first watch on this I immediately took it to be a metaphorical selkie-story. Legends usually go that if a fisherman can steal a selkie's skin, not only can he take away their ability to transform, the selkie is also forced to marry them.
The whole concept of the song has to do with dreams. I could only think that the fisherman looks at his marriage through rose-tinted glasses, and the woman is trapped in the marriage. She makes the most of it and ends up falling in love with someone else. Tiny things, like how happy and "free" she looks as soon as the sailor leaves, or the twin swallow tattoos (signifying a sailor coming "home") make me think that is the case. Not to mention the fisherman nearly kills the guy, which may be understandable but is still like, murder.
The mermaid bit at the end makes me think either is his dream come true - that he has the perfect selkie-mermaid-wife - and her nightmare, or maybe a happier version
where her being a selkie symbolizes her being who she wants to be and him finally understanding he has to let her be a little free.
But that's just my two cents.

I've never heard that much about selkies but that's super interesting. I definitely think you're on to something!

That poor man...

wish my gf was a mermaid, so she would never cheat on me cuz she cant walk and also she can use them corals as *dildos*

Found this on a random Spotify recommendation. I'm glad it showed me

this is literally one of the best rock tracks from 2011-2020

listen you guys: this track is fucking unbelievable. I have no clue as to how this was missed. KEEP MAKING FUCKING MUSIC. pretty. please.

This is definitely in the top 10 weirdest music videos ever. it's a well done and entertaining video but, just odd.

Just refound this song after 3 years wooo

Um amor por essas músicas/esse clipe

This is so fucking cool and WHAT it came out 4 years ago how am I just now discovering this video & the fact that they are my favorite band ever????

Please i need a extended version of daydream

Story:in 2013 of August wants to be deaforced and wants to have someone else but it was all a dream in his head

#SWEETPOTATO we will never get a dog

GODDAMN LISTEN TO THIS SONG

wetdream <33

This could be three separate songs and all of them would be amazing

I wonder how much music there is and was out there that we haven't heard But you know, not just music, but movies, books, and just anything in life that we haven't been exposed to and or experienced It makes me wonder how much I'm missing out on How many points of view, how many perspectives, how many opinions, how we are influenced by all our surroundings It's a trip when you think about it That's all I've got, goodbye and have a good one

A video shouldn’t make you this angry SMH

what art style is this ?

I don't know why the beatles are mentioned so frequently in music circles They're not the only, or best musical group that ever existed When they were formed, they borrowed, took, whatever from other artists too, but they're just a small part of musical history Everyone has their worth Just because one establishes so much fame and fortune, doesn't make them God They were just 4 blokes from Great Britain, what's the big deal Get your priorities in order

I wonder why the woman is being so evil to the man in this video Sometimes women are never satisfied with anything or with anyone I realize dudes can act this way also I guess a lot of us believe the grass is greener on the other side I believe one day we will really appreciate what we have and never let them go Goodbye

I've seen one or two comments mentioning that the sound of this song reminds them of the Beatles a little (i hear it too; it reminded me a teeny bit of dear prudence, but not too much of course), but is anyone else getting Yellow Submarine vibes? Not the song, but the movie. The part of this from around 3:25 and after gives off the same feeling, layout wise and with the movement of the view, a bit. I think this is one of my favorite Saint Motel songs so far :)

nightmare makes me cry but it’s okay because this music video was gorgeous

Loved the Portland show fellas! Next time you’re in Maine my wife wants to buy you beers 👉🍺👈🏼 What the world needs now is more Saint Motel!

i saw the title and thought: this is the song of my lige

Fucking love this song

I like to think that the man is really married to a mermaid, and the lines at the end are actually saying 'Wake up, wake up' because the fisherman is having a nightmare about his wife leaving him when in reality she's right there and loves him despite their differences. I'm also a big fan of happy endings lmao.

It's in the ions

this is one of my favsss

i fucking love saint motel

Matteo Whitmore I've never agreed with a youtube comment more

The way this song changes is beautiful oh my god I love Saint Motel and I'm happy I saw them live❤️

love the video not the song

Could somebody please explain why the last part is the "nightmare"? In my opinion the first part of the video/song is much more suitable for a nightmare

I can't get Daydream out of my head.

This song is garbage why would anyone ever listen to this? - C.M

luke hossler who's "CM"



nice name btw

1:40 it starts to sound like "Sweet Talk"

this song was MADE for me to fall in love to

I wish the nightmares part was a full song its my favorite

this is so beautiful. me and my dad love coming up with theories for this video

Holly shit i really love this clip

That cartoon guy is sooo handsome...

It's 2017 and this is still the best music video ever

This gave me a little bit of a Beatles vibe, man I love saint motel so much

Beautiful animation, and really different idea to add the Staffordshire dog statues. When her lover passed the house, he'd see the direction they were facing, and know her husband was away at sea.

Beautiful

I love you Kim Soloway.

this is such an underrated song

i love this so much!!!!!!!!!!!

This video makes me cry, but I want more context!

This song is a true gem through and through, but honestly, the first minute and a half of this song is so catchy, I literally just repeat it a few times before actually listening to the entire song.

1st part is a Daydream. 2nd part describes a Wetdream. 3rd and final part describes a Nightmare as is to realize it will eventaully go away. What an awesome song.

Nice Bebop Deluxe vibe on this song.

tbh, I could totally imagine this on some radio... that'd be lovely to wake up to

me encanta

This ,is a way,is really cute

4:19 is going to be my next tattoo, each one in one leg

Why'd she have to be a dick for? Just tell him straight up instead. I'll never fully understand why people cheat

Que mierda tan simplemente buena!!!! es , wow, no puedo creer que todavía hagan este indie.

ulan bu şarkı da Türkleri görmek istiyorum. Sevgilimden ayrılınca bu şarkıyı dinleyip ağlardım sanki beni anlatıyor klip of be of

I love when she is get ready and like this whole new rhythm is on ... Like every time the beat slows down the new subject is on First daydream the wet dream then nightmare

Oh what the hell☹️ bogus how could she

I'm glad that Youtube brings me here and now I'm in a Saint Motel marathon

That first silhouette made me laugh because it looked so much like austin powers

WHY JUST 544.701 VIEWS???

Anybody else getting some Radiohead vibes?

ceracen yeah that's the first thing I thought of listening to this song

is it just me or do they have a Fleet Foxes kind of sound?!?!?!

The part from 1:40 to 2:00 sounds a lot like "Sweet Talk" on the new album Saint Motelivision

this is a lost rock epic. so glad i found it. well done st. brotel

3:01 what happened to bros before hoes now?

Anyone know the name of the art style or something similar to it?

Blue Soda it's by a Danish artist named Sidsel Sørensen. I don't know if the actual art style has a name but the story is based on Danish fisherman stories so I'm guessing if there's a name for the style it's danish in origin

Damn it's been a while and I forgot about this comment, anyway thank you very much Emma!

now is the wife and the mermaid the same person??

He dead.

@RShields
dang

Will always be my favorite Saint Motel song. Sad they don't play it live as often anymore.

tremenda banda weón.

wena shushetumaireeee

Supe que vendrían a Nuevo León a un festival y no conocía nada de ellos así que los escuche un poco y me parecieron buenos. Se llegó el día de la presentación y realmente me gustaron. Lo increíble es que no los escuche lo suficiente en ese momento, son unos genios. Temas como "puzzle pieces" "benny goodman" "my type" "cold cold man" este tema y en general todo este álbum es muy bueno, realmente son muy buenos.

achis! cuándo vinieron? los voy descubriendo jaja

Daniela travels el año pasado al
Live Out 2015 y este año estará en el Corona capital 2016.

Yo tambien los conocí en ese festival, recientemente vinieron a la ciudad de méxico y fueron un exito en verdad son buenos

Yo quisiera que vengan a mi país, soy de Ecuador... u-u

Este año estaran en mexico como teloneros de TWENTY ØNE PILØTS en sus 4 fechas incluido mty el 1 de mayo

By far my favorite saint motel song omg 😁😁😁 so underrated

Man, what a beautiful song. The song arrangement reminds of The Beatles with the interesting breaks and the added, unexpected piece at the end that did not even need to be added but when added makes it a classic. This song will be listened to by folks 100 years from now, it's that good. Saint Motel makes some crap songs too, but they hit a grand slam with this one which many artists will never achieve in a lifetime of trying,

lanier1000
you should listen to 10cc

@Cognitive Triad
You talking about the band called 10cc ?  Or, something else?  :)

lanier1000
The band. They made some really interesting songs.

Thanks, will check them out.

The fact that "Move" is the same tempo as "Slow Motion" will never fail to piss me off, but "You Can Be You" pretty much redeems any problem on the album.

Seeing these guys tommorow live! This is freaking brilliant

i love the sweet retro indie tunes pumping through @saintmotelvideo

Am I wrong to think that in the ending she remains a mermaid because he is still "asleep"? The "don't wake up" part makes me think he hasn't woken up because he's dead.

And it symbolizes his love with the sea, and I believe his neglect of her romantically (why she cheated on him), because he loves the ocean too much, but also loves her. He got the best of both worlds when she turned into a mermaid.

Same and it makes me really sad. he didn't deserve that, he clearly really loved his wife and the bitch not only cheated on him but she killed him!

I think that she killed him and threw him to the sea, that could explain those dreams at the nigthmare part

He is literally sleeping with the fishes. He's gone.

I think they killed him and threw his body into the sea xd

this video makes me sad :(

arent sirens evil

+Vriska Serket. no mean sirens and mermaids are somewhat the same right like sirens are like fallen mermaids?

huh ive never heard of sirens being corrupt mermaids

oh yeah, they're fucked up. they'd sing the most beautiful, entrancing songs to lure sailors towards them, right into jagged rocks to sink their ships and kill them.

Sounds like normal behavior to me ::::\

1:40 where Wetdream starts sounds just like the beginning of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by The Smiths!

My favorite song of the first album :)
