Allister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and trust in everything you believe
There's a million different reasons why I should hold back
But I've come to far to sever it all
Do or die I've taken the fall
And so let's drive under cover of a blood red sky
Another mile until we finally step out from the darkness of the night
As they fade away into the rearview while all these streetlights pass by
Wait just for a while and you'll see
This could be everything that you need
It's the perfect ending to a life of promises and ideals that have fallen apart
now this time it's right from the start
So drive with me to the end of the road we're on
Ride this out until we end up alone
Fate is all that we can make of it
What do you want to make of it tonight?
The lyrics to Allister's song Drive speaks about taking risks and embracing change, despite any fear or doubts that may hold you back. In the beginning of the song, the lyrics "Breathe so I can feel you on me" suggests a feeling of closeness with someone, which gives the singer the courage to trust in their partner's belief in themself. The lyrics "There's a million different reasons why I should hold back, but I've come too far to sever it all" hint at the fear of failure, but a sense of determination to keep moving forward towards their goals regardless of the obstacles.
The chorus suggests driving away from their past and into a new future with a partner, and finally stepping out from the darkness that has been holding them back. The lyrics "We'll wave goodbye to the former lives we'll leave behind, as they fade away into the rearview while all these streetlights pass by" paint a picture of letting go of the past and embracing the present in order to create a better future. The verse that follows reinforces this, encouraging the listener to be patient and have faith that this change will bring them what they need for a fulfilling life.
The final lines of Drive push the listener to be active in shaping their life, having a sense of determination and self-reliance to make the most out of every moment. "Fate is all that we can make of it, what do you want to make of it tonight?" challenges the listener to seize the opportunity before them and create their own fate. In summary, the song is about taking risks, embracing change, and trusting oneself to make the most of life's opportunities.
