Drifting
Highride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We bury the past deep down in a bottle of wine
And we'll be fine
Who said it'll be easy living this way?
When home is nowhere, living from day to day
We're on our way
The road is a curse that drives me out of my mind
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
Been walking in circles, now we've come to an end
We won't live forever, but we love to pretend
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
Another town in ashes, leave it behind
Wherever the wind blows there's a kingdom
That will be mine and yours
You won't feel no hunger, won't feel no pain
If you're weak I'll carry you
Through the thunderstorm and the rain
Again and again and again
For better or worse, this is the end of the line
The road is a curse that drives me out of my mind
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
Been walking in circles, now we've come to an end
We won't live forever, but we love to pretend
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
For better or worse, this is the end of the line
The road is a curse that drives me out of my mind
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
Been walking in circles, now we've come to an end
We won't live forever, but we love to pretend
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
For better or worse, this is the end of the line
The road is a curse that drives me out of my mind
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
Been walking in circles, now we've come to an end
We won't live forever, but we love to pretend
Drifting around when the skies falling down
But we don't worry
The lyrics of Highride's song "Drifting" convey a sense of acceptance and resilience in the face of uncertainty and adversity. The opening lines, "For better or worse, this is the end of the line," suggest a moment of realization or decision-making where the past is let go of and the focus shifts to the present. The reference to burying the past in a bottle of wine implies a desire to escape or numb the pain through indulgence, but despite this, there is a belief that everything will be fine.
The song speaks to the struggles of living a transient and unpredictable lifestyle. The line "When home is nowhere, living from day to day" illustrates the feelings of rootlessness and instability that come with constantly moving. Yet, the lyrics also convey a sense of adventure and determination, with the repetition of "we're on our way" highlighting the drive to keep moving forward.
The chorus captures the essence of the song's theme, emphasizing the unpredictability of life while also expressing a refusal to worry about it. The imagery of "drifting around when the skies falling down" portrays a sense of floating amidst chaos, but the repeated refrain of not worrying indicates a resilient attitude towards whatever challenges come their way.

For better or worse, this is the end of the line
Despite the potential difficulties, this marks the conclusion of our journey
We bury the past deep down in a bottle of wine
We suppress our past by seeking solace and escape in alcohol
And we'll be fine
We believe that everything will turn out well
Who said it'll be easy living this way?
We question the notion that this lifestyle will be effortless
When home is nowhere, living from day to day
In the absence of a permanent home, we merely exist from one day to the next
We're on our way
We are actively progressing forward
The road is a curse that drives me out of my mind
Constantly traveling becomes burdensome and mentally exhausting
Drifting around when the skies falling dow
We aimlessly wander amidst chaos and uncertainty
But we don't worry
Despite the turmoil, we remain calm and unfazed
Been walking in circles, now we've come to an end
After aimlessly repeating the same actions, we have reached a conclusion
We won't live forever, but we love to pretend
We are aware of our mortality, yet we enjoy immersing ourselves in illusions
Another town in ashes, leave it behind
Abandoning yet another decimated town and moving forward
Wherever the wind blows there's a kingdom That will be mine and yours
Wherever fate takes us, we believe we can create our own realm
You won't feel no hunger, won't feel no pain
I will prioritize your well-being, ensuring you experience no hunger or suffering
If you're weak I'll carry you Through the thunderstorm and the rain
In times of weakness, I will support and protect you, even in the face of adversity
Again and again and again
Repeatedly and without hesitation
