Genius Annotation

“Daydream” is the sixth track off of “The Year in Hibernation” and, although it is lyrically quite short, it describes a complex theme of insecurity and anxiety, especially with regard to relationships with other people.
A lot of Trevor’s songs express his struggles with anxiety, and he has talked about how they inspire a lot of his songwriting. In an interview about his third album, Savage Hills Ballroom, Powers explained this link while talking about exercise:

It seems counter-productive, but I would drink red wine and get into this state where I was very absorbed by music. Then I would just go for runs. My mental state started getting into this brand new place where I still struggle with anxiety, but now I can channel that more towards my artistic endeavors.
