The band formed in February 2005 by Adam and played their first gig (a set of covers) at a MYB in Macclesfield two days later (the gig was actually booked before they had a drummer). They were received very well and all five guys decided to take things seriously (the idea had originally been just for the one show). A couple of months later and Drive Like I Do (or Me and You vs Them at the time) started to write original material and since then have recorded two 4 track demos, one in July at the Cutting Rooms in Manchester and the latest in Newcastle in October

Never thought you knew
He's coming round again
Cause now he don't give a fuck about you
And you'll work it out soon
You're throwing shapes at him
And everyone looks so uncool seen your face
The songs were all about you
But he's the perfect gentleman to you
It will all make sense
Yes, it will all make sense
It will all make sense
Yes, it will all make sense
It will all make sense
Yes, it will make sense later on
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
It's past 12 so I'm not getting up
Turns out that you don't give a fuck
And all of those books were all about you
Were all about you were all about you
Were all about you it will all make sense
Yes, it will all make sense
Were all about you, you, you
It will all make sense
Yes, it will all make sense later on
Were all about you it will all make sense
It will all make sense later on
In "Kobra Kai Never Dies" by Drive Like I Do, the lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and the aftermath of a broken relationship. The first verse suggests that the singer is surprised to hear someone they never expected to know the lyrics they're quoting. This person, who used to care about the singer, now doesn't seem to care about them anymore. The line "And you'll work it out soon" indicates that the singer believes the truth will become clear in due time, suggesting a hope for understanding and resolution.
The second verse describes how the singer witnesses others behaving awkwardly around the person they're referring to. When they discovered that the songs they were hearing were all about them, their reaction showed on their face. Despite this, the person being sung about continues to act like a gentleman towards the singer. This could possibly imply that the person is keeping up appearances or pretending everything is fine, adding to the complexity of the situation.
The repetition of the phrase "It will all make sense" throughout the song suggests a belief that eventually, the reasons behind the confusion and hurt will become clear. It conveys a sense of reassurance that one day, everything will come together and make sense. This may represent the singer's belief that there is a purpose or meaning behind their experiences, even if it is not immediately apparent.
The repeated line "It's past 12 so I'm not getting up" could symbolize the singer's refusal to continue dwelling on the situation. It implies a desire to move on and not let the past consume them any longer. The final verse talks about realizing that the person they thought cared about them actually doesn't, and how all the books they read were somehow directed at them. This realization reinforces the theme of betrayal and suggests that the singer is finally understanding the true nature of the relationship.
Overall, "Kobra Kai Never Dies" seems to explore the emotions and aftermath of a broken relationship, with lyrics conveying surprise, hurt, confusion, and eventually a sense of acceptance and understanding. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of betrayal and the process of finding meaning and closure in difficult situations.
