Aesop Rock - Daylight (With lyrics)

[iiDGKallDAYii]

Dear, Replay Button

SORRY FOR THE RAPE!

[bollocksm1]

you are a retard, and you're degrading an eloquent poet. Shame on you.

[elmajador203]

2012

[WaxEcstatic2011]

Brilliant track. Could never get enough.

[juniorhellscream]

I came across this song on Pandora and I am in love with it.

[djBowlz]

He's so dope, that this wont make sense for another 10 years

[XxC1R3xX]

@djBowlz it made sense to me... but it took an ounce of weed and about 4hrs of this song on repeat :)

[AlexParker1981]

you did the lyrics really good thanks for doing that....if you continue posting lyrics like that to good songslike this I would follow your channel. thanks for the music..but i'm definately coming back to it to read it

[IveSeenGoodInLife]

who will ever really know what he is saying?... so sikk used to listen to this all the time. ALL THE TIME.

[MAJESTYOFFICIAL]

@IveSeenGoodInLife yeah he's way too intellectual for the modern day,it'd take a master wordsmith to understand his lyricism,i'm gonna go hit up RapGenius to see...

[jillianelsegood]

perfect

[boywhogames]

So this "rap god" says, WTF is Rock the Bells, some gay ass new rap group or some shit?

I immediately just stopped everything I was doing and looked at that message, and was just dumbfounded. I was paralyzed. At a lost for words.......

[105Pup]

@boywhogames Chill, just because you don't understand or appreciate the music doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone.

[boywhogames]

@105Pup You obviously were to lazy to read the other part of this message and I never once said anything about Aesop Rock in this message. Don't reply to smoething you don't completely understand.

[boywhogames]

I was trying to show this song a rap fanatic on the internet and sonme douche bag was raging because I kepy mentioning Aesop Rock, he said he was going to check this shit rap out, and he says it's bad.

Doesn't bother me that he has an opinion but the absolute stupidity he said/explained.

He said "Hebad."

He was judging this song on the beat?

He was all frustrated because he couldn't understand any of the lyrics.

I said he was in Rock the Bells, and you're trying to tell me he's bad.

[boywhogames]

When he says

"This origami dream is beautiful

But man those wings will never leave the ground

Without a feather and a lottery ticket so settle down."

Is he refering the lottery ticket as a lot of money or a miracle?

[seamouse007]

@boywhogames He's saying that our dreams won't come true. In essence, we dream of material things and an easy, comfortable life. But for most people in the world, that will never happen. Life is hard and complex. We want to "pick apart the day and put the pieces back together [our] way" but we can't---it remains an unsolved puzzle. We will not have an easy escape (the lottery), so we will spend our whole lives struggling to figure out this puzzle. Our dreams will not take flight.

[XxC1R3xX]

@seamouse007 DAMN! you got all that... are you some sort of genius? I've been listening to this song for years and i still dont fully understand this song... even though i put i did in another comment i was just trying to be funny :P

[drumforlife720]

haha for all you idiot's who thought that sounded dumb it was an adhd joke about me getting distracted by the ACTUAL lyrics in the track.

[drumforlife720]

damn it's hard to keep up with the reading when you have ADHD

[MAJESTYOFFICIAL]

[Quagsign]

[boywhogames]

@Quagsign You seriously have be an absolute lyrical genius to get all of the lyrics.

[dbellinasr]

Thumbs up for those white guys keeping it real!

[st123722]

yeah lyrics are wrong

[MrRaymondman22]

fuck the main stream shit man, my son is 7 and hes listenin to the good shit. hes blastin aesop rock, atmosphere, living ledgens, the good shit. we blasted this shit like crazy back in afghan.

[kapr3cious]

I wish Eyedea and Aesop Rock made a rap duo together

[HSCUK]

@kapr3cious eyedea was a good lyricist just didn't really like his flow so much too bad he died too.

[SpitVersesTeam]

do u know the name of the instrumental?

[DeafOrigins]

@SpitVersesTeam the instrumental is called "daylight" by the almighty Blockhead

[sydc101]

[RadekPoncio]

5 people have down syndrome.

[samsalaam]

He's pretty ill. pretty ill. no pharoahe or nas, but ill nonetheless.

[davisxmonster]

has absolutely nothing to do with christianity O_0

its about pushing through misery, and dreaming big,

with the fear of dying without having accomplished anything

[Vicoolio]

26,356th view. woot

[PinedaJeans]

Life didn't give any pussy to 5 people

[FloWz361]

if you dont understand him just know this while your listening to him....he loves jesus and is trying to get you to love him too despite the buzzards and goblins etc..

[HfHStudios]

@FloWz361 Listen to holy smokes i think youll fing he doesn't like jesus as much as you think

[lepexi]

@FloWz361 just because someone says jesus, christ, or god, does not make them religious. most of his references are to the archetype, not in any way promoting christianity.

[samsalaam]

@FloWz361 I think you got it a little wrong there brotha.

[killerfriend94]

shit.....i dont understand any of it......

[PimpTasticBling]

When the BUZZARDS drag your brothers flags to rags.

[SicFreakinjuggalett]

"I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in if you stop following me around the jungle gym!"

[DarkcorePunk]

I agree, definitely his best, but I have to say I love Pigs! Fuckin Pigs!

[EdgePitSwing]

Holy shit... Lyrics are absolutely on another level.

[MrYpsi734]

I feel like i dont deserve to listen to him

He's lyrically in-fuckin-sane but i cant understand SHIT

[SweatyRhombus]

all i ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back togather my way

[GONZOM1]

my way

[kelseyg261]

man people are ignorant. aesop published all his lyrics in fast cars danger fire and knives so go buy that shit if you want to see his lyrics.

[EctInc]

His rhyme schemes are hard to follow, but interesting.

[CORHILL08]

If you like this song... search 'C$ - Ferris' and check that shiiiiit out

[thuff420]

Yeeeeee good music

[mikaO121]

lyrics are like.. wrong bro.

[rwcuser]

@mikaO121 Can you send me the... right ones, bro?

[mikaO121]

@rwcuser yeah bro but later

[Malchiar010695]

@rwcuser You could look up the lyrics to a song before making a video just for the lyrics of that song

[delchubut21]

thiss is rap

[DONKEYMUY]

I listened to this song so many times, yet I'm still trying to decipher what each line means.

[Gandrid1]

maansucha good style but i have no idea what the meaning is lmao

[Tmoe101022]

this is the most unique music style i have ever heard, most dope

[SoaringEagle90]

This is rap if I ever knew it.

[MrEvitcartta]

Another thing, you gotta wonder if the song means anything, or if it's a bunch of random lines together, it's been done before. Perhaps the meaning of the song is a satire towards people who assume just because a song SEEMS cryptic, it has to have a meaning =).

[MrServiosity]

@MrEvitcartta That's retarded.

[MrEvitcartta]

@MrServiosity Or you're close minded. Hehe :D

[lucasB823]

@MrEvitcartta he already said in an interview that all of his songs have meaning, and that none of them are just random rhyming words. i bet you can find it on google.

[Ibmxfofun]

2:43-2:53 is the best part of this song

[ScaringYouForLife]

As the triple-sixers' lassos keep angels roped in the basement, I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your pacients.

i <3 this song!

[thalazt]

its about putting the pieces together his way. you may never understand it. but he does.

[solofall2]

I think i know what this song is about, but I'm not sure... does anyone know?

[xjustin523x]

@solofall2 some lines i understand.. but the song as a whole.. fuckin a i just dont know =P i love it thats all i know

[CsquadNews]

People overrate Eminem and underrate this guy. He should be at the top.

[beholdthecakola]

I always thought he was saying "When the buzzards drag you brother's flag to rags." I could be wrong though. 

[MrEvitcartta]

@beholdthecakola I thought the same thing.

[vulcan6412]

"Now it's an honor and I spell it with the "H" I stole from heritage"

This dude is on another level altogether.

[94forbesk]

@vulcan6412 what does that line mean?

[paonek1]

how the FUCK does this vid only have 8k views...attrocious

[jackzahor7]

whoever put lyrics to this is a brave mufucka

[vwalker119]

"life is not a bitch life is a beautiful women you only call her a bitch because she wouldnt let you get that pussy. maybe she didnt feel you maybe no similar interests or maybe your just an asshole who couldnt sweet talk the princess." AESOP rock is a fucking genious

[MNSTRCooki]

i still like nightlight better:/

[Darcsav3r]

This song been tounge twisting me for i think 10 years now lol... LOVE IT!!!

[graysongrayson]

i like when people put effort in their work . thank you for a good video of a great band ;)

[cityprophet]

i love how you lit up the lyrics, this song is sick and says alot to those who listen and lighting up the lyrics like that only makes it easier to listen to. =D <3<3<3

[yimdimdocsum]

great song, but 9-5ers anthem is better in my opinion, still love aesop rock.

[novix32]

at :34 it should say "Dirty cooperative med platoon, bloom, head-trip split ridiculous" and ridiculous ends this line not starts the second. great vid man!

[kguitarlord]

you messed up on a couple of lyrics on the second verse:

1. its "xenobit pen dragon", not "zenith pen dragging"

2. its "alley gospel", not "now he's got soul"

3. its "black upon vigils", not "black of porn visuals"

still, pretty sweet vid man. love this song.

[4Micahful]

@kguitarlord "xenobit Pendragon" (as in Arthur)

[stickybuds42]

@4Micahful vbjkch

[cleanuponaisle666]

Some incorrect lyrics here! He says "kiss the speaker wire peter pacifism pagan thresh hold" not "or either pass it for some pagan thresh hold"

HM.

[123steubing]

sick asss song!

[EwwwPerv]

@rwcuser Oh ok. Lol. I thought i was teaching a 7 year old sexual intercourse. lol

[bldki]

@rwcuser Really? You type like a 12 year old girl.

[vandal265]

@bldki Damn shut the hell up, all of you who complain about the mistakes in the lyrics. If you can do better, make a damn video, dont fucking complain. Quit bagging on him because he made a few mistakes and instead thank him for posting this song for you jackasses.

[wilblack2]

@vandal265 GET EMMM

[gcwatson32]

@vandal265 Yea, i see your point, but haters gonna hate bro, and he shouldnt put up a song with the lyrics without confirming they are actually correct, no hate from my end brudda.

Just stating the facts.

[proregeRotzak]

@EwwwPerv how old are you

[4Micahful]

@EwwwPerv .......lol (purposely small caps or if you'd rather golf claps)
