Drift
L. Pierre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dont see any other way
I can’t find a place for me
I guess I’m a lone stray
I don’t have anyone to find
Anyone to hold
I gotta find a way out for me
Guess it ends in a rope yeah
Gonna ride away till I find the real me
Going deeper and deeper in the mystery blue
Going under and searching for a better view
I’m looking for something, I’d never do
Wash up on some beach and then start a new
Soulmates and product in a special place
Existence proud of, no I’m ashamed
What do I do in a place of disgrace
Where you're hated and, where you got no where safe
You gotta go home, you gotta live a little bit longer oh oh oh
I don’t see a way out for me
I don't see any other way
I can’t find a place for me
I guess I’m a lone stray
I don’t have anyone to find
Anyone to hold
I gotta find a way out for me
Guess it ends in a rope yeah
The lyrics to L. Pierre’s song “Drift” are full of melancholy and despair, as the artist reflects on his feelings of loneliness and isolation. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, with the phrase “I don’t see a way out for me” repeated twice. This repetition emphasizes the hopelessness that the artist is feeling. He goes on to say that he can’t find a place for himself, and that he feels like a “lone stray” with no one to hold or find him.
The second stanza introduces an element of escape, as the artist talks about “surfing the wave” and “riding away” until he finds the real him. This suggests that he is seeking a place or experience where he can find some meaning or sense of self. However, the lyrics also suggest that this search is not easy, as the artist talks about going “deeper and deeper in the mystery blue” and “searching for a better view”. This suggests that the artist feels trapped or lost, and is struggling to find his way out of his current situation.
The final stanza of the song continues this theme of desperation, with the artist lamenting his existence in a “place of disgrace” where he is “hated” and “has nowhere safe”. The repetition of the phrase “I don’t see a way out for me” emphasizes the artist’s feeling of helplessness, and the fact that the song ends with the line “Guess it ends in a rope yeah” suggests that the artist is contemplating suicide as his only way out.
Overall, “Drift” is a powerful song that explores the theme of isolation and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The artist’s raw emotions and vulnerable lyrics make this a deeply moving and thought-provoking piece of music.

Existence proud of, no I’m ashamed
I want to live a life I can be proud of, but currently feel ashamed of myself
What do I do in a place of disgrace
I'm unsure how to move forward in a situation where I feel ashamed or unworthy
Where you're hated and, where you got no where safe
I feel like I am in a hostile environment with no safe place to turn to
You gotta go home, you gotta live a little bit longer oh oh oh
I need to keep going and persevere despite the challenges I face
