Drift
Galimatias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, your voice is my favorite sound
Swaying like the palm trees
You and me we're poetry
Painting stories with our lips
You're like a wave washing over me
Pulling me underneath
You're like a wave washing over me
I'll stay underneath
Drifting slowly
Hey he-he-hey
Hey he-he-hey
Oh, hey he-he-hey
Hey hey hey
Foreign feelings that I can't ignore
Oh I never felt like this before
What's a king without a queen
You could be my everything
Can't you see?
You're like a wave washing over me
Pulling me underneath
Sinking slowly
You're like a wave washing over me
I'll stay underneath
Drifting slowly
Hey he-he-hey
Hey he-he-hey
Oh, hey he-he-hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey he-he-hey
Hey he-he-hey
Oh, hey he-he-hey
Hey hey hey
Galimatias's song "Drift" is a love song that explores the intense and complex feelings that come with being in love. It begins with the singer expressing how he feels about missing his lover, only when the sun goes down, and how their voice is his favorite sound. He then goes on to use metaphors of waves to describe his relationship with his significant other. He sees his lover like a wave that washes over him, pulls him underneath and sinks him slowly. The metaphor is intriguing as waves have many different characteristics, at times, they can be gentle and calming, and at other times they can be strong, violent and destructive. This could be interpreted in a way that his relationship can be both careful and delicate, but also tumultuous and chaotic.
The song also touches on the foreign feeling that comes with being in love, and how one can never fully ignore it. The singer realizes that he has never felt like this before and concludes that the person he is in love with could be his everything. The song is a jumble of different feelings that come with loving someone; it explores the vulnerability, the comfort, the passion, and the uncertainty.
In conclusion, Galimatias's "Drift" highlights the complex and sometimes indescribable feelings of love that can be difficult to put into words. It is a slow and catchy tune that has a way of making listeners reminiscent about their own feelings of love.

My future wife just said the same. Well almost. She pointed out how the violin made the song so much better. I listen to this album for years and never payed attention to this detail. This album is pure love.
