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 ↴
Never change who you are
I will run till the air escapes my lungs
What we do won't be undone, fade away, oblivion
I will run to the end to be no-one
Fade away, fade away, fade away, oblivion
We'll shake the earth to be heard, encrypted vision is blurred
The end of me the enemy, collide within me
This is the moment of truth, the reverie that we pursue
You're either on your knees or you're neck-deep in your dreams
Hold on to the end
Never change who you are
I will run till the air escapes my lungs
What we do won't be undone, fade away oblivion
I will run to the end to be no one
Fade away, fade away, fade away, oblivion
Fade away
In the first verse, the lyrics convey a sense of determination and self-acceptance. The line "Hold on to the end, never change who you are" is a reminder to stay true to oneself and not be swayed by others. It suggests that even in the face of challenges and difficulties, it's important to remain steadfast and maintain one's identity.
The chorus expresses a relentless pursuit of a goal or purpose. The line "I will run till the air escapes my lungs" suggests a willingness to give everything, even to the point of exhaustion, to achieve what they desire. The phrase "What we do won't be undone" implies a commitment to their actions having lasting impact and significance. The repetition of the word "fade away, oblivion" implies a desire to exist outside of the constraints of ordinary life, to leave a lasting impression that transcends the fleeting nature of time.
In the following verse, the lyrics convey a sense of empowerment and a refusal to be deterred. The line "We'll shake the earth to be heard, encrypted vision is blurred" suggests a determination to make their presence known and make an impact on the world. The line "The end of me the enemy, collide within me" speaks to the internal struggle one may face when trying to achieve their goals. It suggests that the biggest obstacles often come from within, but despite this, they are willing to face and overcome these challenges.
The next line, "You're either on your knees or you're neck-deep in your dreams," contrasts two different approaches to life. It implies that one can either passively submit to the circumstances or actively pursue their dreams. In this context, being "neck-deep in your dreams" represents being fully immersed and dedicated to them, while being "on your knees" conveys a sense of surrender and resignation. Overall, the lyrics in this song convey a message of perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of one's dreams, even in the face of obstacles.

I'm so glad ASD brought in two amazing musicians for this album and hopefully forever. Brandon's style fits so good with ASD and Michael is such an amazing fit with his style. So proud of these guys!!! Come back to Ottawa!!!
@sleepingwithpanicatthedisc7740
I love Jag's vocal on this entire album!! He really has come a long way and has improved very much. Michael's vocals are more harsher which is SO GOOD. Keep up the good work A Skylit Drive. You have my support from now on.
