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
If You Lived Here You'd Be Home
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to be lifted to a place that I can’t remember
Disconnect your mind
You won’t remember
All attention to the countdown
Time slips through an hourglass
It seems to be such a perfect ending
Thank you for what you brought out of me
So long, the life we lead
I’ll keep you close to me
Now it’s time to be lifted to a place that I can’t remember
Disconnect your mind
You won’t remember
You’re not a desire
You’re what I need
I want you to levitate
Sing with rapture through the day for me
Thank you for what you brought out of me
And I know that I’ll be with you till the end
So long, the life we lead
I’ll keep you close to me
You brush the lines
You tell it in the eyes you’ve stolen
And you break, and you break
You cut a million times
Cu a little bit
Now you won’t forget me
Cut a million times
Cut a little bit
You won’t forget me now
Thank you for what you brought out of me
And I know that I’ll be with you till the end
So long, the life we lead
I’ll keep you close to me
You brush, you brush
You cut a million times before it’s done
I never liked this side of you
And you break, and you break
You tell a million times before it’s done
I never liked this side of you
And you break, and you break.
The lyrics of A Skylit Drive's song "If You Lived Here You'd Be Home" are quite abstract, but they seem to be about leaving the past behind and moving on to a new place where memories of the past are forgotten. The opening lines "Like it was before our time to be lifted to a place that I can't remember, disconnect your mind, you won't remember" suggest a departure from a familiar environment to somewhere unknown. The singer is bidding farewell to their old life and is ready to embark on a new journey, one that is both freeing and confusing.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of love and the desire to hold onto those who matter. Lines like "Thank you for what you brought out of me, and I know that I'll be with you till the end" and "I'll keep you close to me" convey a sense of attachment and loyalty to someone the singer cares about. On the other hand, the lines "You cut a million times, cut a little bit, now you won't forget me" suggest that the relationship may not have been all perfect and harmonious.
Overall, "If You Lived Here You'd Be Home" is a song about letting go of the past and moving forward, despite the confusion and uncertainty that comes along with it. It is also a tribute to the people who have had a positive impact on the singer's life, even if the memories are bittersweet.
