Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind got me staying in the eye of the fire
Sometimes I don't know if I'ma drown or fly
Heart so big I be down to die
For all the ones I love, too bad they don't think I really love 'em
They don't understand that there just so many of 'em
Hustle's got so many of em, everybody pulling at me
Can't leave the house without everybody lookin' at me
That my wife was at my wake, with my son, he said "look at daddy"
Something got me thinking this might be the end
But if it is you gon' wish for a G when I'm gone
Drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave
Drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
My face above the water
And my feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave
This might be the end
But if it is you gon' wish for a G when I'm gone
Drifting away (Drifting, drifting away)
I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the

It also conveys the feeling of being overwhelmed and struggling to cope with the pressures of life.

I had a dream recently
That my wife was at my wake, with my son, he said "look at daddy"
In my dream, my wife and son were at my funeral and my son was pointing at me

Drifting away
I am slowly moving away from something

This movement is overwhelming me like I am drowning
Pulling against the stream
I am struggling to move against a current
My face above the water
My head is above water
And my feet can't touch the ground
I am unable to feel the ground below my feet
Touch the ground, and it feels like
Feeling the ground would mean something significant
I can see the sands on the horizon
I can see sandy land in the distance
Every time you are not around
I only experience this sensation when you are not present
I wish I could make it easy
I desire for things to be simple
Easy to love me, love me
I want to be easy to love
But still I reach, to find a way
Regardless, I still seek a solution
I'm stuck here in between
I am in a state of limbo
I'm looking for the right words to say
I am searching for the correct phrasing to communicate my feelings
