DRIFTING
Navigating Despair: Andrew Wade's Haunting Journey in 'DRIFTING'
Lyrics
I'm broken past the point of ever fixing
I feel emotionally shattered beyond repair.
I'm sitting in a room where nobody gets me
I'm in a space where no one understands me.
I'm floating in my head like a stone cast out to sea
I'm mentally adrift, feeling isolated like a stone in the vast sea.
Forever sinking
I constantly feel like I'm sinking without respite.
Just grab me by the hand and tell me I'm fine
Desire for reassurance and comfort from someone close.
I don't need the truth I swear I'll settle for a lie
Willingness to accept comforting lies instead of harsh truths.
Anything to make it feel like everything will turn out right
Desperation for anything that gives hope for a positive outcome.
I don't got the fight, I don't got the fight
I lack the strength or will to confront challenges.
Ah-ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Expressing a sense of drifting aimlessly in life.
Ooo, ooo can you pull me back
Hoping for someone to bring me back to stability.
Ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Reiteration of the feeling of aimless drifting.
Ooo, ooo I'm on course to crash
Fear of heading towards a destructive outcome.
I put on a smile cause that's what they want to see
Wearing a facade of happiness to meet others' expectations.
I ain't better now just self-medicating
Using substances to cope without genuine improvement.
Hiding from the clouds, but I know I can't escape the rain
Avoiding problems, but aware that challenges cannot be escaped.
Promise someday this gets easier
Hopeful anticipation that things will get easier in the future.
Just grab me by the hand and tell me I'm fine
Yearning for affirmation and comfort from others.
I don't need the truth I swear I'll settle for a lie
Preferential acceptance of comforting lies over harsh truths.
Anything to make it feel like everything will turn out right
Desperation for reassurance that everything will turn out well.
Won't last the night, I won't last the night
Doubtful about enduring through the night.
Ah-ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Reiteration of feeling lost and drifting in life.
Ooo, ooo can you pull me back
Plea for someone to bring me back to stability.
Ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Continued sense of aimless drifting.
Ooo, ooo I'm on course to crash
Fear of a catastrophic and unavoidable outcome.
It's like I've been going 80
Metaphorically feeling like life is heading in the wrong direction.
The wrong way down a one-way road
Expressing a sense of going against the flow with no correction.
And there's no one here to save me
Feeling abandoned with no one to rescue or support.
So I'll lay in the flames alone, oh, oh
Choosing to face difficulties alone, perhaps in despair.
Ah-ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Reiteration of the feeling of aimless drifting.
Ooo, ooo can you pull me back
Hopeful plea for someone to intervene and provide stability.
Ooo, ooo I'm drifting
Reiteration of the sense of drifting without control.
Ooo, ooo I'm on course to crash
Fear of an impending and inevitable destructive outcome.
