Drifting
Heaven's Void Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drifting Away
All Hope Is Gone
Controls not responding
Oxygen is low
Don't make the same mistakes I did
Back away back away
Before it's too late
Can
You hear my cry
As I drift away
With no hope in sight
Can
You hear my cry
As I drift away
Ready to die
Tell me why
This must end this way
We were not prepared
This is such a disgrace
Tell how
This will end for me
We were not prepared
You are such a disgrace
My safety
Was not of your concern
Too caught up in the race
Never to return
Drifting Away
Not going home
Controls not responding
Oxygen is low
Drifting Away
Not going home
Controls not responding
Oxygen is low
Can
You hear my cry
As I sit here and resent my life
Tell me why
This must end this way
We were not prepared
This is such a disgrace
Tell how
This will end for me
We were not prepared
You are such a disgrace
Tell me why
It must end this way
Cuz we were not prepared
For such a disgrace
Tell me how
This will end for me
We were not prepared
You are such a disgrace
Such a disgrace
Was I just another life for you to waste?
Was I just another piece of your game?
Drifting Away
Not going home

Oxygen is low
Drifting Away
Not going home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Drifting Away" by Heaven's Void depict a sense of despair and hopelessness as the singer finds themselves in a dire situation. The repeated mention of drifting away and the realization that all hope is gone reflects a feeling of being lost and abandoned in a difficult circumstance. The line "Controls not responding, Oxygen is low" adds to the sense of urgency and impending danger, suggesting a lack of control and a dwindling chance of survival.


The plea for someone to hear their cry as they drift away highlights a sense of isolation and desperation, feeling alone and abandoned in their struggles. The repeated questioning of why things must end this way and expressing feelings of being unprepared and disgraced further emphasize the theme of regret and lamenting the choices that have led to this point.


The accusation of the other party being a disgrace for not prioritizing the singer's safety and being too consumed by their own agendas adds a layer of resentment and betrayal to the narrative. The repetition of the phrase "Not going home, Controls not responding, Oxygen is low" creates a sense of inevitability and impending doom, emphasizing the severity of the situation.


The final lines questioning whether the singer was just another life to be wasted and whether they were merely a piece in someone else's game further evoke feelings of being used and discarded. The overall tone of the lyrics conveys a sense of abandonment, regret, and a confrontation with mortality in the face of impending disaster.
