Discover the story of the song > Hot Rod – Dayglow

The lyrics are about a person who feels like they are always in second place, and their partner may not think they are as great as they once did. The protagonist questions why they always seem to do things wrong and thinks that life can be complicated and sarcastic. The chorus repeats that things are not as they used to be, and maybe the protagonist and their partner are not as great as they thought they were.
