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 ↴
Seeing is believing
Not without a soul to hold me flat on the ground
I meant every word I said
You are the one I've been looking for
Wanting more
I'm all alone in this
That will not last
Hey you, I am the one you've been running from
But I know they don't know that maybe I was meant to live this way
In a love struck kind of way
Follow me into the void
Excuse me, do I even know you?
No you don't, no you don't
Get a grip, oh my god get a grip
On what? on what?
The final piece that I need is that spark in your eye
Where did it go?
My own disguise is right in my sights
We learn we breathe
The sky hears my plea
Hey you, I am the one you've been running from
But I know they don't know that maybe I was meant to live this way
In a love struck kind of way
In two dimensions always
I've been living in the light of the world
Even you can't change me now
The lyrics to A Skylit Drive's song "It's Not Ironic It's Obvious" contains themes of loneliness, longing for connection, and the struggle to find one's identity. The opening lines "Wander alone, seeing is believing, not without a soul to hold me flat on the ground" suggest a sense of aimlessness, seeking something more but lacking the support or grounding needed to achieve it. The line "you are the one I’ve been looking for, wanting more, I'm all alone in this, what part of that did you miss?" illustrates the desire for a meaningful connection, but also a frustration with a lack of understanding from others. The chorus "Hey you, I am the one you've been running from, but I know they don't know that maybe I was meant to live this way, in a love struck kind of way" suggests a rejection of societal norms and a desire to embrace one's own unique path.
The song also features a sense of introspection and self-examination, with lyrics such as "my own disguise is right in my sights, we learn we breathe, the sky hears my plea" reflecting a journey of self-discovery. This is further illustrated in the line "I've been living in the light of the world, even you can't change me now" which suggests a level of self-assurance and a refusal to compromise one's identity for the sake of fitting in.
Overall, the lyrics to "It's Not Ironic It's Obvious" convey a sense of existential longing and the search for meaning and connection in a world that can often be isolating and confusing.

Fire rages in me
Never want to see the roses on your door
Glasses separates our touch
Soaring into the unknown skies fearing what we're fighting for
This is a war we cannot win!
Our last time to make stars collide right before our eyes
Believe in everything
Everything you've ever known
Reciting words we lost
These years will never be untold
I won't be alone
Fire rages in me
Daylight fights through the night with the cries of redemption
The sun ignites the light in our eyes
And is this possible!
Our last time to make stars collide right before our eyes
Believe in everything
Everything you've ever known
Reciting words we lost
These years will never be untold
I won't be alone
This time we fight
Side by side
You and I
This time we fight
Side by side
You and I
The bringers of light
The teeth in the night
The teeth in the night
The bringers of light
The teeth in the night
I won't be, won't be alone
