Drift
Benji Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was on my way
Sun is shining out
Don't part away from the runaway
Take a sip, drink down
Take a longer walk, out by the ocean
Drift on, drift on
Deep down, deep down
You'll find a way
By the way, I kinda like it
It's shining right, it's shining right
We'll never know, we'll never know
What did we find
Out by the ocean
Feels right to me
Drift on, drift on
Don't wanna wait
Come over me now
Drift on, drift on
Do it all again
Nothing holding us
Still we'll drift on, drift on
Taking it in, saw it all down
Look around you now at the sundown
Lighter than before, sit back eyes wide
It's shining right, it's shining right
We'll never know, we'll never know
What did we find
Out by the ocean
Feels right to me
Drift on, drift on
Don't wanna wait
Come over me now
Drift on, drift on
Do it all again
Nothing holding us
Still we'll drift on, drift on
The lyrics in Benji Lewis's song "Drift" appear to be about seeking a sense of freedom and inner peace through exploration and adventure. The opening lines of "Chasing the feeling, I was on my way" suggest a restlessness and desire to escape the mundane, possibly referring to the pursuit of happiness or inspiration. The lines "Take a longer walk, out by the ocean, Drift on" represent the idea of being lost in the beauty and vastness of nature, allowing the mind to wander and explore. The phrase "Deep down you know you'll find a way" could be interpreted as a message of hope or determination, reminding listeners that they have the strength to overcome obstacles and discover their own path.
The chorus of "Drift on, drift on, Don't wanna wait, Come over me now" reinforces the theme of living in the moment and pursuing personal growth without hesitation. The repeated line "It's shining right, it's shining right" suggests a sense of clarity and optimism, as if the singer has found inner peace or enlightenment. The final verse "Taking it in, saw it all down, Look around you now at the sundown" seems to emphasize being present in the moment and appreciating the beauty of life. The song overall has a serene and meditative quality, encouraging the listener to let go and embrace the journey.
