Daylight

"Daylight" is a haunting, piano-driven ballad that captures the essence of the human struggle between darkness and light. David Kushner's honesty is a breath of fresh air, as he recognizes that even the most virtuous among us can be attracted to darkness. He acknowledges the power of temptation and the alluring nature of our sinful desires, which can often override our better judgment.

Through his music, Kushner aims to convey the paradoxical desire for something that is simultaneously harmful and irresistible. He uses the contrasting elements of light and darkness to illustrate this inner conflict. "The lyrics 'Oh I love it and I hate it at the same time you and I drink the poison from the same vine' encapsulate this concept," said the singer.

Kushner is acutely aware of the darkness within him. The first verse of the song explores a complex relationship that brings pleasure on a physical level but leaves Kushner with an internal sense of discomfort. He acknowledges that the nature of their interactions may not be in line with his moral or ethical values. Telling myself I won't go there Oh, but I know that I won't care Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt This lust is a burden that we both share However, Kushner loses that battle in the second verse of the song and wonders if he will ever be able to find forgiveness. Tellin' myself it's the last time Can you spare any mercy that you might find If I'm down on my knees again? Deep down, way down, Lord, I try Try to follow your light, but it's nighttime Please don't leave me in the end Kushner strives to follow God's path and do what is right, but often stumbles and falls. In those moments, he cries out for mercy and forgiveness, hoping that God will show him compassion and grace.
