Drifting
Unveiling Heartbreak: The Silent Goodbye in 'Drifting' by Invisible Animals
Lyrics
I remember the last time I saw you
I have a memory of the last time I saw you
You were riding away
You were departing, riding away
On a greyhound bus
You left on a Greyhound bus
You waved goodbye said you'd call me
You waved goodbye and promised to call
Few months later I heard you calling
After a few months, I heard you reaching out
Oh I didn't know
I wasn't aware
Dark voice saying you were sorry
A somber voice apologized, but it wasn't you
But you didn't it was me
You didn't keep your promise, and I realized it was me
Drifting away
A sense of separation or distancing
Drifting away
Continuation of the feeling of drifting apart
Love that girl
Expressing affection for a particular girl
Leave that girl
Suggesting the idea of leaving that girl
Love that girl
Reiterating love for the same girl
Leave that girl
Emphasizing the decision to leave the girl
Years later I still see your face
Even after years, the image of your face lingers
Everywhere
It's a pervasive presence in various aspects of life
It's been so long since I heard your voice I didn't know
Long time since hearing your voice, uncertain about the future
But I know I've got to move on as you drift away
Acknowledging the necessity to move forward as you fade away
Drifting away
Reiteration of the theme of drifting away
Drifting away
Continued emphasis on the drifting apart
Love that girl
Expressing love for the same girl
Leave that girl
Advising to leave that girl
Love that girl
Repeating the declaration of love
Leave that girl
Reiterating the decision to leave the girl
Love that girl
Continued expression of love for the girl
Leave that girl
Continued advice to leave the girl
Love that girl
Repeating the sentiment of loving the girl
Leave that girl
Repeating the decision to leave the girl
