Adrift
Alda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Though I dissolve
I am not afraid
For from whence we came
We shall return

My waters are one with this
There is no separation
My waters are one with this
There is no separation

I am the ocean
I rise and fall
This suffering
Sleeps within me

I am the ocean
My blood is the well
The currents cradle
Suffering and death

Overall Meaning

In the song "Adrift" by Alda, the lyrics speak to the impermanence of life and the cyclical nature of existence. The verses begin with the declaration that even though the singer may be dissolving or passing away, they are not afraid because they understand that they will return to the source from which they came. The following lines emphasize the unity and interconnectedness of all things, and specifically the singer's connection to the ocean. The singer identifies as the ocean itself, rising and falling and carrying within it the experiences of suffering and death.


The lyrical content of this song is deeply rooted in existential and Buddhist philosophy, celebrating the impermanence of all things and the idea that everything is connected. The repetition of the lines "My waters are one with this / There is no separation" further reinforces this message. The concept of the ocean as a symbol of the interconnectedness of existence is a common theme in literature and art, and Alda brings a unique and poetic expression to this idea through their lyrics.
