In January 2022 it was revealed that the band had gotten back together with the original She Watched the Sky line-up, minus Kyle Simmons. The current band's line up is: Jordan Blake (lead vocals), Nick Miller (guitar), Joey Wilson (guitar), Brian White (bass & backup vocals), and Cory La Quay (drums).
However, on February 16, 2022, a new song, Dead Serious, was released by former vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin under the A Skylit Drive name, thus creating two separate versions of the band. One being the original lineup, and the other led by Jag.
Michael "Jag" Jagmin filed a lawsuit against the original members of the band for infringement on the name on March 15, 2022, and on April 3, 2022 Jagmin announced two new members joining him and Jon Kintz in his ASD lineup: drummer Casey "KC" Marotta and guitarist/vocalist Louie Caycoya.
On April 23, 2022, the original lineup announced that moving forward, they would preform as "ASD" for the foreseeable future, with Jag's lineup holding the rights to the "A Skylit Drive" name.
on May 1st, 2023, original ASD vocalist Jordan Blake would pass away

A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to live frozen in time
Eva! Eva!
Break all of my will to survive
Eva! Eva!
It seems to me that you have something to prove
It's your time to own up to the false foundation under my arm
Going that last mile
Now that isn't your smile
You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say someday
I could be better off in your mind
Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Hey baby, I want you I want you
Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Hey baby, I want you I want you alive
Come sit next to me
Can you see into my mind?
Going that last mile
Now that isn't your smile
You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say someday
I could be better off in your mind
Smile forward
I've been trapped in the fiction of a fraud
It isn't over until I get what I deserve
It's what I deserve
You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say someday
I could be better off in your mind
The song "Eva The Carrier" by A Skylit Drive is an emotional and introspective piece that grapples with themes of self-doubt, existential confusion, and longing. The singer begins by admitting defeat to their worst enemies, revealing a vulnerability that sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics "Try to live frozen in time" seem to convey a sense of stagnation and frustration with life. The repeated refrain of "Eva! Eva!" functions as a kind of plea or desperate cry for help, with the singer seemingly searching for someone who can help them break out of their negative mindset.
The second verse sees the singer grappling with their own sense of identity and purpose, as they admit that "It seems to me that you have something to prove," indicating that they feel inadequate or inferior to others. The chorus reinforces this sense of helplessness, with the singer begging for someone to "shine their light" on them and validate their existence. The final lines of the song, "I could be better off in your mind," suggest a desire for escape or the possibility of finding solace in another person's thoughts or opinions.
