Drift Away
Embrace the Change: Drift Away with Caroline's Spine Lyrics
Lyrics
They said you can change the way things are
Expressing the belief that change is possible.
You came here from very far away
Acknowledging the person's distant origin or journey.
Can you change me too?
Possibly a plea or a desire for personal transformation.
Yeah you, you do what you have to do
Recognizing the necessity to do what needs to be done.
Can you make my sky turn blue again?
Asking if the person can bring positivity or joy back into the speaker's life.
(chorus)
Introduction of the chorus.
So throw an arm around me and we'll drift away
Suggesting a gesture of comfort and escape from reality.
And enjoy the impact
Encouraging enjoyment despite the potential consequences.
So many things I'd like to say before the point of contact
Expressing a desire to communicate important things before a significant event or change.
So throw an arm around me and we'll drift away
Reiteration of the comforting gesture and escape.
Hey you, do you know what you've done
Addressing someone directly and questioning their awareness of their actions.
Now they've come and gone
Referring to events or people that have come and gone, possibly as a consequence of the addressed person's actions.
I guess you thought you could break through
Suggesting that the addressed person attempted to break through something.
Hey you, well do what you have to do
Encouraging the person to do what is necessary.
Can you make my sky turn blue again?
Repeating the desire for a positive change in the speaker's life.
(repeat chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus.
So throw an arm around me and we'll drift away
Repeating the idea of escaping reality through a comforting gesture.
And enjoy the impact
Emphasizing the enjoyment despite potential consequences.
So many things I'd like to say before the point of contact
Reiterating the desire to communicate important things before a significant event.
So throw an arm around...
Repeating the call for comfort and escape.
So throw an arm around...
Further repetition of the call for comfort and escape.
So throw an arm around me and we'll drift away
Final emphasis on the idea of drifting away for solace.
