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 ↴
The skin that’s stretched across your bones
The scent that lacks the innocents I know
Cold front coming, like blisters threw your pores
Breathing you’ll trust me darling
I'm the sword inside your stone
The rest of your life
Meet me, at the skylines
Ill wait for you to go
Ill wait for you to go
Meet me at the skylines
Ill wait for you to go
Ill wait for you.
Save me
The skin that’s stretched across your bones
The scent that lacks the innocents I know
Cold front coming, like blisters threw your pores
Breathing you’ll trust me darling
I'm the sword inside your stone
The rest of your life
May it rest in my eyes
Meet me, at the skylines
Ill wait for you to go
Ill wait for you to go
Meet me at the skylines
Ill wait for you to go
Ill wait for you.
Meet me at the skylines
Ill wait for you
Meet me at the skylines
Meet me meet me
Meet me at the skylines
Meet me at the skylines
The lyrics of A Skylit Drive's song According to Columbus appear to be about a person who is asking to be saved from their own troubles and insecurities. The lines "Save me, the skin that's stretched across your bones, the scent that lacks the innocents I know" suggest a desire for refuge from the harshness of reality. The "cold front" that is "coming, like blisters threw your pores" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the pain and hardships of life. However, the person singing the song offers comfort, promising to "breathe" and "trust" the listener, and to be the "sword inside your stone" - a source of strength and support when they need it.
The chorus, which repeats the lines "Meet me at the skylines, I'll wait for you to go", could be interpreted in a few ways. It might mean waiting for the listener to transcend their current circumstances and reach a higher level of understanding or enlightenment. Alternatively, it might be a romantic gesture, with the singer inviting the listener to join them among the stars. Finally, the lines "The rest of your life, may it rest in my eyes" could suggest an intense emotional connection or even a form of possession.
