Drift Away
Drift Away: Finding Solace in Rock and Roll Harmony
Lyrics
Day after day I'm more confused
Feeling increasingly perplexed day by day.
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
Seeking positivity or hope in challenging situations.
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Expressing dislike for a game (metaphor) associated with losing.
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Experiencing pressure or stress, expressing a sense of regret.
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
Desire for music ("beat") to uplift and liberate the soul.
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Wishing to immerse oneself in the transformative power of rock and roll and escape.
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
Reiteration of the desire for musical liberation.
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Continued longing to get lost in the magic of rock and roll.
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
Contemplating the possibility of wasting time.
I don't understand the things I do
Confusion about personal actions or decisions.
The world outside looks so unkind
Perceiving the external world as harsh or unfriendly.
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
Dependence on someone or something to help navigate difficulties.
And when my mind is free
Feeling liberated or at ease when the mind is free.
You know a melody can move me
Recognizing the power of music (melody) to evoke emotions and move the spirit.
And when I'm feelin' blue
Seeking solace and comfort when feeling down or sad.
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Acknowledging the soothing effect of a guitar in times of emotional distress.
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
Expressing gratitude for the happiness brought by the music.
I want you to know I believe in your song
Affirming belief in the transformative power of the mentioned song.
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
Highlighting the importance of rhythm, rhyme, and harmony in the music.
You help me along makin' me strong
Recognizing the supportive and empowering impact of the music on personal strength.
