Axel Flóvent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck inside my mind
What a pretty smile
And I cared for your words
So I didn't see you at all this year
But I still think I know you well
And it's not what your mind is saying
But now you're facin' away
Are you sad?
Can you really think about it? No
And you fall outside your head
And you're back
And you never knew about it, no, oh-oh
And you wander away
Still being quiet, can you call me?
And the urge you're fightin'
Still lying to your heart
'Cause I better be the one that steps for you
Do you even care at all?
And you made it up just to mess with me
Faking the way you fall
And the worst will go eventually
The lie, you won't see at all
And you'll come and we'll make up afterwards, afterwards
'Cause now you're facin' away
Are you sad?
Can you really think about it? No
And you fall outside your head
And you're back
And you never knew about it, no, oh-oh
Are you ever gonna stay?
I'm holdin' on
Can we talk about it? No
When you feel like flyin' away
I'm losing it
And I never really cared
The song "Driving Hours" by Axel Flovent is a heart-wrenching song about someone longing for the presence of someone they care about, but who is not physically with them. The song opens with the singer expressing how this person is stuck in their mind, their smile is so pretty, and he/she is captivated by their words. Though the two haven’t met in person in a year, the singer still feels like they know them well, and the singer doesn't care what this person's mind is telling them - the singer's feelings remain the same. The next verse portrays the dilemma of the person being unsure of what they want or how they feel, which makes it difficult for the person the singer sings about to call them when they need to, and makes it difficult for the singer to hold on.
The chorus questions the person's ability to stay, and if maybe they'll fly away soon. The singer states he's holding on, but then asks if they can talk about it, although knowing they can’t. The bridge expresses the singer's need to be important, to play a part in this person's life, to be the one they can always count on. However, in the end, the singer doesn't even know if this person cares or if it's all for show. Overall, the song paints a picture of a one-sided relationship where the singer wants to hold onto someone who may not be there for him/her.

And now you're here
You have come back to my mind
Stuck inside my mind
Your presence is lingering in my thoughts
What a pretty smile
Your smile is beautiful and appealing
And I cared for your words
I was interested in what you had to say
So I didn't see you at all this year
We did not physically cross paths this year
But I still think I know you well
Despite not seeing you, I feel like I understand you
And it's not what your mind is saying
Your thoughts do not necessarily reflect reality
Yet, I don't care at all, no
But regardless, I still have strong feelings towards you
But now you're facin' away
However, it seems like you're distancing yourself now
Are you sad?
Are you feeling depressed or unhappy?
Can you really think about it? No
You may not be fully acknowledging your emotions
And you fall outside your head
You seem to be disengaging from your thoughts
And you're back
But then you return to your former state
And you never knew about it, no, oh-oh
You may not even realize this pattern within yourself
And you wander away
You continue to distance yourself
Still being quiet, can you call me?
Despite being silent, can you still reach out to me?
And the urge you're fightin'
You may be struggling with some sort of internal conflict
Still lying to your heart
You may not be listening to your own feelings and desires
'Cause I better be the one that steps for you
I am willing to be the one who is there for you
Do you even care at all?
Do you have any concern or interest in me?
And you made it up just to mess with me
You fabricated something to toy with my emotions
Faking the way you fall
You pretended to stumble or falter
And the worst will go eventually
The negative situation may eventually improve
The lie, you won't see at all
You may not realize the extent of the deception
And you'll come and we'll make up afterwards, afterwards
Eventually, we will reconcile and move past this
'Cause now you're facin' away
But for now, it seems like you're still trying to distance yourself
Are you sad?
Are you feeling depressed or unhappy?
Can you really think about it? No
You may not be fully acknowledging your emotions
And you fall outside your head
You seem to be disengaging from your thoughts
And you're back
But then you return to your former state
And you never knew about it, no, oh-oh
You may not even realize this pattern within yourself
Are you ever gonna stay?
Will you ever commit to being present in our relationship?
I'm holdin' on
I am still invested and committed
Can we talk about it? No
It seems like you are avoiding any sort of communication about the situation
When you feel like flyin' away
When you have the urge to escape or distance yourself
I'm losing it
I am struggling to hold on and stay grounded
And I never really cared
But despite this, I still have deep feelings for you
