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
Your Mistake
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you cannot hold,
It reminds me of being in my head.
Few steps from being alone
Not to place the blame on you,
But this is what you do
I wanted you to be near
Let your body leave, let you body turn itself inside out
Let your body leave,
This reality isn't enough for me now
You're not the last one but you're on top of me now
Woah
You'll never miss a beat when you believe
Turn your back away
We can be angels above the sun
Few steps from being alone
You sold your soul to be there with
Oh god, what have we done?
Take a few steps back and you'll see
I wanted you to be near
Let your body leave, let you body turn itself inside out
Let your body leave,
This reality isn't enough for me now
You're not the last one but you're on top of me now
Woah
You'll never miss a beat when you believe
Don't you tell me about the tides (through my eyes)
Don't you tell me about the lies, oh all the lies
Don't you tell about the tides (when we all lie)
I admit to you
I was used by you
I'm a liar and you already knew it (knew it would be like this)
And you give and you give when I take
Take it away, let me be your mistake
And turn your back away
You're not the last one but you're on top of me now
Woah
You'll never miss a beat when you believe
You're not the last one but you're on top of me now
Woah
You'll never miss a beat when you believe
Don't you tell me about the tides
Don't you tell me about the lies, oh all the lies
The verses in this song seem to express a desire to escape reality and enter a different world. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to take the listener to the hidden, exclusive places that others cannot go, possibly meaning a place inside the singer's mind. They feel lonely and disconnected from reality, as though they are on the brink of being alone, but they do not blame the listener for it. The singer wants the listener near them, and they believe that their current reality is not enough. They suggest that the person they are speaking to is not the only one, but they are the one on top of them now.
The choruses are more intense, and the tone becomes darker. The singer admits to being used by the person they are speaking to and accepting that they are a liar. The line "take it away, let me be your mistake" suggests that the singer is willing to embrace their own faults and errors in order to continue being with the other person. Ultimately, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of intense emotion and a desire to escape reality.

I'll show you places that you cannot go,
I'll take you on a journey that you've never been before
That you cannot hold,
That is too much for your grasp
It reminds me of being in my head.
It brings back memories of being lost in my own thoughts
Few steps from being alone
It doesn't take much to be lonely
Not to place the blame on you,
Not to accuse you of anything
But this is what you do
But this is how you act
Take a few steps back and you'll see
If you step back, you'll see the bigger picture
I wanted you to be near
I longed for your closeness
Let your body leave, let you body turn itself inside out
Let everything go, let yourself fully embrace and surrender
This reality isn't enough for me now
This world and its limitations are no longer sufficient for me
You're not the last one but you're on top of me now
You're not the only one, but you're dominating me
Woah
Emphasis on the statement
You'll never miss a beat when you believe
You'll never falter in your actions when you have faith
Don't you tell me about the tides (through my eyes)
Don't lecture me about the ups and downs of life (through my perspective)
Don't you tell me about the lies, oh all the lies
Don't talk to me about the deceit and falsehoods
Don't you tell about the tides (when we all lie)
Don't mention the inevitable ups and downs in life (when everyone lies)
I admit to you
I confess to you
I was used by you
You took advantage of me
I'm a liar and you already knew it (knew it would be like this)
I tell untruths and you were aware of it (aware that our relationship would be problematic)
And you give and you give when I take
You constantly offer your help while I selfishly accept
Take it away, let me be your mistake
Withdraw yourself and allow me to be your regret
And turn your back away
And walk away from us

Their new work is so impressive, I've always been a giant fan of ASD, but I'm glad Jag finally found a really good sound in the band that works with the rest of their talent.
