Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
Got me leaning on the walls now
190 I can't seem to slow down
I peep em talking all that shit wow
But when I pull up it's a ghost town
(Shit)
(Skrt)
Drifting speeding breaking all these limits
Windows tinted I don't need attention
Money on my mind but that's a given
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss ya
Now who told em we could be friends
Fuck is u sayin
Keep your distance
Push to start
And then I'm riding through the ends
Ain't no stopping bitch I'm drifting
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
Hold up please
Lemme roll my trees
Put my mind at ease
I don't got no time for zees
She's 400 hunnid degrees
Until my nose bleeds
Feel like need for speed
Pull up in that Japanese
I've been fucking drifting yeah
Mixing up my system woah
She's what I've been missing yeah
I cannot resist her no
But shit I got all I need
In this louis V
Ain't no stopping me cause
I'm too sick
I think I'm about to throw up
Nother spliff
I might have to roll up
Yenny getting thick
Don't think it can fold up
Baby what's the hold up
She got my mind doing donuts
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
Got you on my mind
I cannot lie
I'm drifting away
Without you by my side
I can't deny
You take me high
In "Drifting," Jordyne expresses feelings of drifting away from someone without them by their side. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for this person, as they confess that they constantly have them on their mind. The repetition of the line "Without you by my side, I'm drifting away" emphasizes the emotional distance that has grown between them.
The song starts with the singer acknowledging their state of drifting, recognizing that they are drifting away from this person who used to be an important part of their life. They cannot deny the impact this person has had on them, as they take them high emotionally.
The second verse introduces a more reckless and self-destructive aspect to the drifting, with lines like "Got me leaning on the walls now" and "Driving 190, I can't seem to slow down." This suggests that the singer may be engaging in dangerous behavior as a result of their emotional state, possibly trying to distract themselves or find temporary relief from their drifting feelings. They also express frustration towards those who talk negatively about them, proving them wrong by pulling up to an empty place as if it were a ghost town.
The bridge brings a shift in the song's tone. It seems to diversify the source of the singer's drifting feelings, as they mention needing to roll their trees and put their mind at ease, suggesting a reliance on substance use. They also mention a romantic interest, describing them as what they've been missing and finding it hard to resist. However, the singer recognizes that they have all they need in material possessions, represented by the reference to Louis Vuitton. The lyrics end with the line "She got my mind doing donuts," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for being mentally consumed by thoughts of this person.
Overall, "Drifting" explores themes of emotional distance, longing, and the various ways one copes with these feelings. It captures the conflicting emotions of missing someone while simultaneously acknowledging the need for personal growth and self-reliance.

Nother spliff
Another marijuana joint

I may need to roll another joint
Yenny getting thick
Yenny is becoming more successful
Don't think it can fold up
I believe it will not collapse
Baby what's the hold up
What is causing the delay?
She got my mind doing donuts
She has my mind spinning in circles
