Drift
Lost in the Echoes: Kid Lightning's Drift Unveils the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Underground, you're living in a lost and found
Living in a state of obscurity or isolation, disconnected from mainstream society.
Not quite sure which best describes you, so you just say you're from out of town
Uncertain about your identity, claiming an unfamiliar origin to avoid defining yourself.
Overcrowded, your thoughts are stepping on themselves
Feeling overwhelmed, with conflicting thoughts creating internal chaos.
How come it works inside your brain,
Ruminating on how things function internally, contrasting with external communication challenges.
but it don't make sense as soon as you open your mouth
Expressing a disconnect between internal coherence and external articulation.
I can tell that you just want to leave
Observing a desire to escape, yet hindered by not being in the desired situation.
But you can't cause you're not quite where you want to be
Unable to leave the current state due to not being in the desired place or situation.
Where do you wanna be?
Raising the question of the ideal destination or situation.
When you fall I wanna be the ground you crawl on
Expressing a desire to support someone in their lowest moments.
But I'll just weigh you down instead
Acknowledging that providing support may become a burden, potentially hindering instead of helping.
On repeat in your head:
Repetition of negative thoughts in one's mind.
Not again, not again
Reacting negatively to a recurring situation, expressing frustration or disappointment.
And so we'll drift,
Choosing a path of drifting, possibly metaphorical, indicating a state of aimlessness.
permanently awake
Being constantly alert or conscious while in this drifting state.
Not again, not again
Reiterating a negative reaction to a recurring situation.
(And I'll wait for you if you wait for me)
Expressing a willingness to wait for someone if they reciprocate.
Not again, not again
Repeating the willingness to wait for mutual commitment.
(And I'll wait for you if you wait for me)
Continuing the theme of waiting for mutual commitment in a negative context.
And so we'll drift,
Reiteration of the drifting state, suggesting a prolonged or permanent condition.
permanently awake
Emphasizing the perpetual state of alertness or wakefulness while drifting.
Not again, not again
Repeating the negative reaction to a recurring situation, emphasizing frustration or disappointment.
