Drift
Great Gable Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm falling off again,
But I know I'm not your man,
I find it hard, I find it hard to stand,
When I'm on my own,

So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another

But I'm all alone again,
Dreaming of some distant land,
Fighting out, fighting out of my consciousness,
And I'm on my own,

So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
BREAK
So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another





SOLO

Overall Meaning

The song "Drift" by Great Gable is about the feeling of being lost and alone, and the struggle to fight through these emotions. The lyrics convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer acknowledges that they are falling apart and cannot rely on anyone else for support. The repetition of the phrase "Carry on, drift into the storm" suggests a resigned acceptance of their circumstances, even as they are overwhelmed by their own inner turmoil.


The opening lines of the song, "I'm falling off again, but I know I'm not your man," indicate a sense of rejection and alienation from others. The singer is unable to connect with anyone else, and feels isolated and adrift. This feeling is reinforced by the lines "And I'm all alone again, dreaming of some distant land," which suggest a longing for escape and a desire to be somewhere else, anywhere else. Even as they try to fight their way out of their own consciousness and break free of their emotional pain, the singer recognizes that they may never be able to fully overcome their struggles.


Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase "it's over" suggests a sense of finality and resignation. The singer is experiencing a sense of defeat, and feels as though there is no way to turn things around. Despite this dark tone, there is also a sense of bittersweet beauty in the lyrics, as the singer recognizes the inevitability of their situation and resolves to carry on, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
