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
I'm Not A Thief I'm A Treasure Hunter
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out!
Your words are infectious
Your eyes leave me breathless
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
Until I figured you out!
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Just try to run
You can't escape me
This is the last for me
This is the last for me!
What's it like in the greater sky?
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Tell me what's it like
Tell me what's it like
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Now I'm alive
The first verse of "I'm Not A Thief. I'm A Treasure Hunter" by A Skylit Drive is about the singer's liberation from his old self. He has found the kind of pleasure in a woman that he has never felt before. He describes how her appearance, particularly the skin around her mouth, has become fascinating to him. He has discovered new life and vitality by getting to know this woman. The second verse emphasizes her seemingly infectious words, and her eyes that render him breathless. He notes that although she is deadly in her way, he has never felt more alive because of her. He knows what's going on with her, and he attributes his new-found self-discovery to her.
The chorus discusses his capacity to create changes in this woman's behavior. He knows that she is the thorn in his side and that he has to do something about it. The singer says that he will be reborn without her, and this is the last time he will be in her company. The bridge tells us about the singer being finally free from her as the doctors are coming to help her but it's already too late. He has already taken her life, and he describes it as liberation and even calls it a passive thought.

The skin around your mouth
I am mesmerized by the details of your face
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
Your physical touch is now overshadowed by my obsession with you
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
My attraction to you has given me a newfound sense of purpose in life
Your words are infectious
Your words have a powerful impact on me
Your eyes leave me breathless
You have a captivating, intense gaze that affects me deeply
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
You have a dangerous allure that I find irresistible
I've got the moves to make you move
I am confident in my ability to woo you
The thorn in my side just may be you
Your presence in my life has become a source of pain
I know you know what's going on
You are aware of the impact you have on me
This is me without you
I am incomplete without your presence in my life
Breathe easy
Take a moment to relax
The doctors are about to arrive
A metaphor for an impending crisis or intervention
Just try to run
You cannot escape my grasp
This is the last for me!
This is the end of the line for me
What's it like in the greater sky?
Asking a rhetorical question about the existence beyond this reality
Tell me what's it like
Asking for insight or advice about dealing with a difficult situation
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
A realization that their obsession has caused harm or damage to the other person
Now I'm alive
The intense emotions and experiences they have gone through have made them feel more alive
