Drifting Away
Lange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like I can't let you go
I'm at the point of no return
Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
This feeling I will always yearn
I'm flying, I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing, I wanna stay right here tonight
Drifting away (x2)
Now I've got you inside of me
I'll take the opportunity
To keep on going with the flow
Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
I hope this feeling never goes
Drifting away
I'm flying, I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing, I wanna stay right here tonight
Drifting away (x14)
The lyrics of Lange's Drifting Away suggest a feeling of ecstatic abandonment, as the singer describes losing control and being unable to let go of someone. This person has made the singer feel as though they are in paradise, high above the ground and never wanting to come back down. The repeated phrase "drifting away" suggests that this feeling of freedom and euphoria is something that the singer wants to hold onto indefinitely.
The second verse implies that this ecstatic feeling is partly due to the presence of the person the singer can't let go of. They express a desire to keep going with the flow and take advantage of their current state of mind. It's unclear whether this is a romantic relationship or simply a close connection between two people, but the lyrics suggest that this feeling is incredibly important to the singer and they don't want it to ever fade away.
Overall, Lange's Drifting Away is a song about the intense, almost intoxicating feeling of being completely absorbed in the present moment and not wanting it to end. It's a theme that many people can relate to, especially those who have experienced moments of pure bliss or have felt truly connected to someone else.
