Drifting
Axenstar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drifting away, to the place where I belong
I see the night transforming into dawn

Tonight I sleep beside you for the last time
Make sure that you won't hear me leave

Slipping away, into the endless sleep
Silent tears running down my cheeks





No matter where the winds of life may lead you
I'll always be there by your side

Line by Line Meaning

Drifting away, to the place where I belong
Moving gradually away from my current location, heading towards a place where I feel a sense of belonging


I see the night transforming into dawn
Observing the transition from nighttime to daytime


Tonight I sleep beside you for the last time
This evening is the final opportunity for me to rest next to you


Make sure that you won't hear me leave
Taking precautions to depart quietly, without causing a disturbance


Slipping away, into the endless sleep
Gradually departing from the realm of the living, entering a permanent state of slumber


Silent tears running down my cheeks
Crying without making any noise or sound, with tears streaming down my face


No matter where the winds of life may lead you
Regardless of the direction that the unpredictable course of life takes you


I'll always be there by your side
I will remain steadfastly loyal and supportive, standing next to you at all times
