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
It's Not Ironic It's Obvious
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 tells the story of a person wandering alone, searching for someone to hold them down and keep them grounded. The opening lines, "Wander alone, seeing is believing, not without a soul to hold me flat on the ground," set the stage for a tale of longing and searching for something to keep them steady. The chorus reveals that this person has found someone they have been looking for, but that they are all alone in this situation and that it will not last.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the person is looking for a spark in the other's eye, something that they seem to have lost. They express frustration and confusion with lines like "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?" Ultimately, the person acknowledges that they have been living in the light of the world and that no one, not even the person they are searching for, can change them.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a person searching for stability and love, only to find themselves feeling even more lost and confused.
