Drive
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't say I really
Have it figured out
Figured I would take time
Before I opened mouth
Before I opened
Message from unknown sender
Thought I untied
This well known tether
Interrupting my unsound sleep
With yearning and uncertainty
I'm smoking more and drinking
Distract myself but I can't think
Of
No I can't think
Of
Blank stare on my face
Mark me absent
From the current conversation
I'm busy
Rehearsing
But I'm uncertain
Unconscious fidgeting
Displays my fragile mood
My leg is jumping
I'm rubbing my temples
Shit sorry repeat that
I haven't been in the present
Realizing I need to take hold of my own attitude
And if I suffer it's best to just allude
It's all just fine maybe I'll trick me too
I'll be just fine I'll make it through
When the phone rings
You run across my mind
I haven't saved your number
So I can say goodbye easier
So no one can look over my shoulder
And ask me how it goes with ya
Interrupting my unsound sleep
With yearning and uncertainty
I'm smoking more and drinking
Distract myself but I can't think
Of
No I can't think
Of
Anything but you
Drive me up walls




Can't escape your draw
Drowning in awe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to [unknown]'s song "Drive" portray a sense of uncertainty, distraction, and longing. The singer seems to be struggling with their thoughts and emotions, unable to fully figure things out or express themselves effectively. They mention receiving a message from an unknown sender, which interrupts their sleep and adds to their yearning and uncertainty. To cope with these feelings, they turn to smoking and drinking, but find that it only serves as a distraction and doesn't help them think clearly.


The singer also explains that they often find themselves mentally absent from conversations, preoccupied with their own internal struggles. They rehearse their thoughts and feelings, but remain uncertain and fidgety. Their fragile mood is evident through physical cues like leg-jumping and temple-rubbing. However, they realize the need to take control of their attitude and allude to their suffering, suggesting that they prefer to keep it hidden. Despite this, they try to convince themselves that everything is fine and that they will make it through.


The mention of the phone ringing triggers the singer's thoughts about someone who is not explicitly mentioned or identified. They haven't saved this person's number, possibly to avoid the pain of saying goodbye. They also want to keep this person's existence private, not allowing others to inquire about their relationship or ask how things are going. The last lines express the overwhelming effect this person has on the singer, driving them up walls and drowning them in awe.

Anything except thoughts of you


Drive me up walls
Cause me distress or frustration


Can't escape your draw
Unable to avoid your attraction


Drowning in awe
Overwhelmed by admiration

“Just relax and show you true colors”
“Feel the heat inside”
“Feel the adrenaline, acceleration”

사건 발생 잊지 못할 사건
치명적인 매력에 홀라당 빠져
자꾸 나를 자극하는 넌
출처가 없는 문제야 풀어야 할 숙제야

Can I be your boyfriend?
너를 대하는 태도 거짓 하나 없어 no cap
너에게 하고 싶은 말로 가득 찼어 my case
완벽함 앞에 어떤 말로도 부족해

You got me losing patience
걷잡을 수 없는 emotion
떠올라 니 모습 봐 I never feel alright
수많은 감정이 충돌해, 왜 이래?

Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
무장해제
신속하게 네게로 moving, on my way (ah-ooh!)

Why do I keep getting attracted?
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction
이것밖에 one four three

Why do I keep getting attracted?
니 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
One four three, I love you!

A-B-C-D-E-F-G
I wanna send my code to you
Eight letters is all it takes
And I'm gonna let you know, oh

너 말곤 높이 쌓아뒀지 barricade (barricade)
원하는 대로 불러도 돼 code name (call me baby)
욕심이래도 되고 싶어 soulmate (whoo)
이 맘은 점점 더 upgrade 'cause

You got me losing patience
걷잡을 수 없는 emotion
떠올라 니 모습 봐 I never feel alright
수많은 감정이 충돌해, 왜 이래?

Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
무장해제
신속하게 네게로 moving, on my way

Why do I keep getting attracted?
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction
이것밖에 one four three

Why do I keep getting attracted?
니 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
One four three, I love you!

Heartbeat 나의 모든 상태 지금 위기 (위기)
너의 모습 ain't no "False"
나의 속맘 다시 repeat (repeat)

Walking next to you, but I'm falling
더 깊게 빠져들어 끌리지
You're pulling me deeper and deeper
I try to get out, but I can't stop

Can I be the one?
Yeah, I'll be the one
무모하게 도전해 오그라드는 표현
머릿속이 띵하고 무감정은 손절
Moving, I'm on my way

Why do I keep getting attracted?
니 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
One four three, I love you!

Why do I keep getting attracted?
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction
(이것밖에)

I'm gonna let you know (know)
I'm just gonna go (go)
And hold you so I'm never letting go

I'm gonna let you know (know)
That I'm just gonna go (just go)
Yeah 난 너에게로 지금 출발합니다 바로 like I'm

Never letting go, oh
I cannot explain this emotion
One four three, I love you!
