I did read his lyrics like poetry (or try to) and thats what prompted this thread. Other than the obvious ones like No Regrets, it all is so utterly confusing. I challenge someone to actually understand any of the other songs off Labor Days. Other than the chorus, they all seem like random fragments thrown together that dont mean anything

his lyrics are sometimes hard to decipher, but i think "food clothes medicine" is pretty basic. but yeah, he can be all over the place.
Each song isn't about one thing, but a bunch of things that when used as metaphors make up a bigger idea. He playes with sayings and language in general into a somewhat incongruous pattern of thought
It all means something, it all makes sense, you just have to listen to it tons before you can understand how to read into how he spells stuff out.
This is the general way his songs go, not all of them.

i interpreted daylight as less the imputrities of middle class/city life and more focusing on raising above those impurities, but they are just dreams not reality.
"This origami dream is beautiful
but man those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down"
what hes saying is that unless you somehow win the lottery your chances of raising your social class is just a dream.
