Drifting
Navigating Life's Uncertainties: Gracie Hays' Drifting Meaning
Lyrics
I'm just a product of memories gone by
I am a product of past memories.
And I am who I am because of my life
My identity is shaped by my life experiences.
Now that's not to say that I know what I want
Uncertain about my desires and goals.
And I'm not sure I'm sure of myself
Lack confidence in understanding myself fully.
I've tried acting like I have a clue
Attempt to pretend that I understand things.
Like I always know what to do
Acting like I always have solutions.
But the truth is I'm drifting
Admitting the truth that I am drifting in life.
A way to escape, the thoughts in my mind
Seeking a way to escape intrusive thoughts.
Which often distract me from my own real life
Distractions interfere with my real life.
I wander in love and I ponder the losses
Engaging in love and reflecting on losses.
and I burn the wick at both ends
Burning the candle at both ends, living intensely.
I've tried acting like I have a clue
Continuing the facade of having all the answers.
Like I always know what to do
Feigning confidence in decision-making.
But the truth is I'm drifting
Acknowledging the reality of drifting in life.
Some may find comfort in faith or design
Some find solace in faith or design.
But there isn't one out there that really aligns
No belief system perfectly aligns with me.
They say "face your demons and follow the path"
Advice to confront personal challenges and follow a path.
But it's never really straightforward
Life's journey is never straightforward.
I've tried acting like I have a clue
Pretending to have a grasp on life's complexities.
Like I always know what to do
Continuing the act of always knowing what to do.
But the truth is I'm drifting
Acknowledging the persistent state of drifting.
Away
Expressing a sense of moving away.
(Aaaahhhh)
Vocalization emphasizing a drifting feeling.
Away
Reiteration of moving away.
(Aaah-ooo)
Extended vocalization emphasizing distance.
I've tried acting like I have a clue
Persisting in the facade of having answers.
Like I always know what to do
Continuing the act of always knowing what to do.
But the truth is I'm...
Final acknowledgment of the truth—drifting in uncertainty.
