Spent time in this idle state
Drifting
I spend my time drifting
At night and in the mornings
I spend my time drifting
At night and in the mornings
I spend my time drifting
The lyrics of "Drifting" by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors are simple yet evocative, expressing a sense of aimlessness and detachment. The repetition of the phrase "spent time in this idle state" emphasizes a feeling of being stuck or lost, perhaps in a state of inertia or apathy. The word "drifting" serves as a metaphor for this state, suggesting a lack of direction or purpose.
The repetition of the line "I spend my time drifting" in various contexts, such as "at night and in the mornings," further emphasizes the cyclical nature of this aimlessness. It implies that regardless of the time of day, this drifting state persists. The choice to focus on both day and night suggests that this feeling of disconnect permeates all aspects of the singer's life.
