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 ↴
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes
(Until the pendulum breaks)
I want you to see
There has to be another way
Take a breath, stay with me
Help is on its way
Hold on to me, don't leave me
Every hour of my life, I will give you
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes
(Until the pendulum breaks)
Keep your eyes on me
You can't leave this way
Please stay with me, don't turn away
This is not your time, you can die another day
Hold on to me, don't leave me
Every hour of my life, I will give you
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes
(Until the pendulum breaks)
(I'll do whatever it takes)
(Until the pendulum breaks)
(Until the pendulum breaks)
Every hour of my life, I will give you
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes
(Until the pendulum breaks)
Every hour of my life, I will give you
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes

Every hour of my life, I will give you
Every minute of my day
(I'll do whatever it takes)
Pull you out from the rock that you're under
Every second that it takes
(Until the pendulum breaks)
(Until the pendulum breaks)
The song Pendulum by A Skylit Drive is a poignant representation of an individual's unending devotion and unwavering support towards a friend or a loved one in times of trouble. The lyrics "Every hour of my life, I will give you, Every minute of my day (I'll do whatever it takes)" highlights the singer's staunch desire to be there for the person they care for at every moment. They promise to keep fighting until the pendulum - a metaphor for the situation that their loved one is going through - breaks. The singer's determination to save their loved one is evident in lines such as "Pull you out from the rock that you're under, Every second that it takes". The line "Take a breath, stay with me, Help is on its way" is a plea for their loved one to hold on and trust that everything will eventually become okay.
Continuing on the lines "This is not your time, you can die another day, Hold on to me, don't leave me", the singer tries to convey that there is always hope, that even when everything seems bleak, there is always a possibility for a brighter future. They don't want their loved one to give in to their troubles, to stop fighting, and to let go. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the strength of the singer's conviction and constantly reminds the listener of the promise that the singer makes to their loved one.
