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
Eva the Carrier
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 has a theme of defeat and an overwhelming desire to be understood. The opening lines of the song, "I would like to inform you that I have lost to my worst enemies, try to live frozen in time," suggest that the singer is defeated by their adversaries and therefore unable to move on from a situation. They feel as though they have lost their identity and are constantly at war with themselves. The repeated phrase "Eva! Eva!" most likely serves as a call for help or support.
The chorus of the song features the singer pleading with someone to validate their feelings and beliefs. They seem to be struggling with distinguishing between reality and fiction; this is reinforced by the lines "Please tell me that this is for real, Won't you shine your light on me?" Towards the end of the song, the lines "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" suggest that the singer wants to break free from their situation and believes they deserve better.
Overall, "Eva the Carrier" is a song about wanting to be seen, heard and understood. The singer is grappling with their identity and feels misunderstood by the world around them. The song ends with the possibility of hope, and the idea that things can get better if they are willing to take the necessary steps.

I would like to inform you that I have lost to my worst enemies
I want to tell you that I have been defeated by my own demons
Try to live frozen in time
Strive to remain oblivious to the passage of time
Eva! Eva!
Repeating the name Eva as a plea for help
Break all of my will to survive
Destroy any strength I have to keep going
It seems to me that you have something to prove
You appear to be trying to show something to me
It's your time to own up to the false foundation under my arm
It's your turn to admit to the lies you've told me
Pictures bring clarity to what it's meant to be
Visuals can help us understand what something truly is
Going that last mile
Completing the final stretch of a difficult journey
Now that isn't your smile
You don't look as happy as you used to
You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Don't be too attached to your own beliefs
Please tell me that this is for real
I'm pleading with you to confirm that this is true
Won't you shine your light on me?
Can you please illuminate the situation for me?
Don't say that you want me
Please don't lead me on
I just might say someday
Maybe one day I'll finally speak my mind
I could be better off in your mind
Maybe things would be better if you saw me differently
Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Addressing someone and trying to get their attention
Hey baby, I want you I want you
Expressing a desire for someone
Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Repeating the request for acknowledgement
Hey baby, I want you I want you alive
Clarifying the desire to be with someone while they're still alive
Come sit next to me
Asking someone to join you and be closer
Can you see into my mind?
Wondering if someone can understand your innermost thoughts
Smile forward
Focus on the present and try to maintain a positive attitude
I've been trapped in the fiction of a fraud
I've been stuck in a lie created by someone else
It isn't over until I get what I deserve
I won't give up until I receive what I'm owed
Please tell me that this is for real
Seeking assurance that the situation is genuine
Won't you shine your light on me?
Requesting clarity and understanding
Don't say that you want me
Asking for someone not to play with your feelings
I just might say someday
Possibly hinting at future action
I could be better off in your mind
Maybe a different perspective would be beneficial

12 years later and I gotta say the same thing with this other band called Until I Wake. If you're still active on your YouTube account and look at this comment then maybe you should look them up just like another band that you can recognize which is Chunk No Captain Chunk
