Drift
Lucian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got big eyes, with a curious mind
Born to follow skies, not stick around
A place so dim, I have lost the light
And I don't feel right, can't feel a thing
I don't have that much to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, for good!
Im' not made to play by the rules
Running fast as I can tonight, night

Run all down, run away, leave it all behind
Never look back, had to get old
Walk a new path, find the moon, never satisfied
We'll just go where the sunlight goes

Held my breath as I walked away
So the wind I chase filled up my lungs
A place so dim, I have lost the light
I was on the way, have me back in a place
Called home
I don't have that much to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, for good!
I'm not made to play by the rules
Running fast as I can tonight, night

Run all down, run away, leave it all behind
Never look back, had to get old




Walk a new path, find the moon, never satisfied
We'll just go where the sunlight goes

Overall Meaning

In Lucian's song Drift, the lyrics express a desire for growth and exploration. The singer sees themselves as someone who was born to follow skies, not stay grounded to one place. They feel lost in a place that has lost its light and can no longer feel anything. Despite this feeling of emptiness, they don't have much to lose and are ready to leave it all behind for good. The singer doesn't want to play by society's rules and instead chooses to run as fast as they can towards their desires. The lyrics profess a desire to be free; the singer wants to escape their past and all its memories by choosing to leave it behind, and never looking back. The song's chorus reflects this, as it encourages listeners to run away and leave their old life behind, to find a new path, and to follow the sun.


The song opens with the line "Got big eyes with a curious mind" indicating that the singer is interested in exploring their surroundings. The lyrics "born to follow skies" convey a sense of wanderlust and restlessness, and the phrase "can't feel a thing" suggests that they feel empty and numb. The line "not made to play by the rules" emphasizes the singer's desire to explore life outside of set societal rules. Similarly, the verse "Held my breath as I walked away, so the wind I chased filled up my lungs" signifies a new beginning, one filled with fresh air that signifies growth.

Bright big eyes
With a curious mind
Born to follow skies not stick around
A place so dim
I have lost the light
And I don't feel right
Can't feel a thing
I don't have that much to lose
I'm leaving it all behind for good
No need to play by the rules
Running fast as I can tonight

I'm run down
Run away, leave it all behind
Never look back, cutting it out
Walk a new path on the moon
Never satisfied
We'll just go where the sunlight goes

Held my breathe
As I walked away
So the wind I chased
Built up my lungs
A place so dim
I have lost the light
I was only ever heavy
Back in a place called home
So, I don't have that much to lose
I'm leaving it all behind for good
No need to play by the rules
Running fast as I can tonight

I'm run down
Run away, leave it all behind
Never look back, cutting it out
Walk a new path on the moon
Never satisfied
We'll just go where the sunlight goes
