Drifting There
Lost in Drifting Dreams: A Tale of Separation and Reflection
Lyrics
The way I saw you drifting there
The speaker observed someone drifting away.
I could've fallen to my knees
The intensity of the situation made the speaker feel deeply affected, possibly emotionally overwhelmed.
It made me see that it's not fair
Realization that the situation lacks fairness or justice.
I couldn't bring you back with me
The speaker couldn't retrieve or bring the person back.
The current separates us more
The distance, metaphorically represented by "current," widens the gap between them.
And I can't see what living's for
Feeling lost or uncertain about the purpose or meaning of life.
We lost it long ago
They lost something significant a while back.
So take it back
Encouraging the addressee to reclaim something.
Taking back what you don't want to
Reclaiming things that are unwanted or disliked.
Taking back all you deserve
Retrieving what one rightfully deserves.
Looking back on what you've gone through
Reflecting on past experiences and hardships.
We're always doomed to be disturbed
Suggesting a perpetual sense of disturbance or unease.
The way I saw you drifting there
Reiteration of observing someone drifting away.
I could've fallen to my knees
A repetition indicating the emotional impact of the situation.
It made me see that it's not fair
Reiterating the unfairness of the situation.
I couldn't bring you back with me
Emphasizing the inability to bring the person back.
The current separates us more
Continuing metaphorical separation or distance.
And I can't see what living's for
Uncertainty about the purpose of life persists.
We lost it long ago
Reaffirmation of a significant loss from the past.
So take it back
Encouragement to reclaim something lost.
Easy trips are feeling longer
Easy experiences seem more challenging or prolonged.
And once you're there you go away
Once reaching a certain point or goal, you tend to move away or detach.
And at some point you just forgot her
Forgetting someone or something gradually over time.
It's always gonna be that way
Implying a perpetual state of things remaining unchanged.
The way I saw you drifting there
Recalling the visual image of someone drifting away.
I could've fallen to my knees
A repetition of the impact felt upon seeing the person drift away.
It made me see that it's not fair
Reiteration of the perceived unfairness of the situation.
I couldn't bring you back with me
Reiterating the inability to bring the person back.
The current separates us more
Continuing to emphasize the growing separation.
And I can't see what living's for
Reiterating the existential questioning of life's purpose.
We lost it long ago
Reaffirmation of a past loss.
So take it back
Encouraging the retrieval of something lost or forgotten.
We're always doomed to be disturbed
Reemphasizing a perpetual sense of disturbance or unease.
The way I saw you standing there
Observing someone standing distant or remote.
You felt so far away from me
Feeling emotionally disconnected or distant from that person.
It made me see that it's not fair
Reiterating the unfairness of the situation due to emotional distance.
I couldn't bring you back with me
Emphasizing the inability to bring the distant person back emotionally.
The current separates us more
Continuing the metaphorical separation and inability to perceive life's purpose.
and I can't see what living's for
Reaffirmation of a significant past loss.
We lost it long ago
Advising to discard or relinquish everything.
So throw it all away
Suggesting a finality or a decision to abandon everything.
