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 Swear This Place Is Haunted
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the dead of fear
Rise up willingly and confront us
This is the last winter
Part of a change for better
I'm moving forward now
The thought of a ghost brought me to life
Turn all of this white
The creature at night
You said it would never find out where I rest my head at night
Let us be the ones who block out the sun
Light projects through myself
What have I done to deserve this?
What have I done?
I have learned of the virus
We are above this
It's our time to rise
We've built this it's ours
It's our time to rise
Build it up. Break it down. We built this it's ours
I'm moving forward now
The thought of a ghost brought me to life
I'm moving forward now
Turn all of this white
The creature at night
You said it would never find out where I rest my head at night
The lyrics to A Skylit Drive's "I Swear This Place Is Haunted" are open to interpretation, but seem to touch on themes of overcoming fear, facing uncertainty, and taking control of one's life. The line "Is there something beyond science going on here?" suggests a sense of unease or disbelief in the face of something unknown or mysterious. However, rather than succumbing to fear, the singer urges themselves and others to "rise up willingly and confront us."
The subsequent lines, "This is the last winter/Part of a change for better," imply a sense of hope and renewal, as if the difficult times are drawing to a close and the singer is looking forward to brighter days. The repeated refrain of "I'm moving forward now/Turn all of this white/The creature at night/You said it would never find out where I rest my head at night" can be read as a triumphant statement of reclaiming power and pushing through obstacles.
The final lines, "It's our time to rise/We've built this it's ours/Build it up. Break it down. We built this it's ours," further reinforce this idea of taking control and creating something lasting. The use of the word "ours" suggests a sense of community and shared ownership, perhaps referencing the band's relationship with their fans.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Swear This Place Is Haunted" convey a sense of struggle and perseverance in the face of adversity, while also hinting at a deeper sense of mystery and wonder.
