Loree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She says
Little world
I'm trying to keep up with you
Little girl
You're just drifting through Time
She says
Little world
Little Girl
Please get in line
But focusing
Is impossible if you
Are a tiny little girl
Who is trying to rule a world
She is lost in
Meanwhile drifting through Time
Is like committing a crime
Meanwhile drifting through Time
Is like committing a crime
Little girl
You should have run away
'Cause in a world Like this
You don't want to stay
And she says
Then little world
Turn the narrative around
'Cause if you don't
You will let me down
Focusing
Is impossible if you
Are a tiny little girl
Who is trying to rule a world
She is lost in
Meanwhile drifting through Time
Is like committing a crime
Nevermind
Things will be fine
And drifting through time
Won't be longer a crime no
Things will be fine
'Cause we're all drifting through Time
Focusing
Is impossible if you
Are a tiny little girl
Who is trying to rule a world
She is lost in
But we're all drifting through Time
It won't be longer a crime
Won't be longer a crime
'Cause we're all drifting through Time
It won't be longer a crime
The lyrics to "Drifting" by Loree speak to the struggles of a little girl who is trying to navigate and make sense of the world around her. The girl is feeling overwhelmed and attempts to keep up with the fast-paced nature of life, but finds herself drifting through time without direction or purpose.
The line "Little girl, you're just drifting through time" depicts the girl's feeling of being disconnected and lost. She feels like she doesn't know what to do or how to navigate her way through life. The repetition of this line emphasizes her sense of aimlessness and confusion.
The second paragraph highlights the girl's frustration in trying to find focus in her life. The lines "But focusing is impossible if you are a tiny little girl who is trying to rule a world" suggest that she is burdened by unrealistic expectations and responsibilities that are beyond her capabilities. She feels overwhelmed by the weight of trying to control or influence her surroundings.
The chorus "Meanwhile drifting through Time is like committing a crime" further emphasizes the negative impact of the girl's state of aimlessness. It suggests that she feels guilty or inadequate for not being able to actively engage with and make meaningful choices in her life. The lyrics imply that being lost in time and lacking direction is a wasted opportunity or a wrongdoing.
In the later parts of the song, there is a shift in perspective. The girl asks the "little world" to change its narrative and not let her down. This indicates her desire for support and guidance from her surroundings. The lyrics suggest that she believes that if the world supports her and provides a more stable and consistent environment, she can overcome her feelings of being lost.
The final verses of the song convey a message of hope and acceptance. The line "Things will be fine, 'cause we're all drifting through time" suggests that the girl realizes that everyone, not just her, experiences feelings of aimlessness and uncertainty. The repetition of "won't be longer a crime" signifies a shift in perspective, as the girl comes to understand that drifting through time is a natural part of life and not something to be condemned.
Overall, the lyrics of "Drifting" touch upon themes of struggle, confusion, and the search for meaning and stability. They emphasize the importance of support and understanding from others and encourage acceptance and resilience in the face of uncertainty.
