Maverick Sabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm thinking will they drag me
And we're pushing on the high got the bud and the beer
When we turn around we're drifting now
And I'm sitting at a bar and the bouncer appears
And I'm thinking that he's looking
Got a bottle in my bag no ID in my jeans
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
In the city in the dark in the park in the fear
And I'm wishing for another
But there something in sky, feel the sun can you see it?
I don't know why I'm undercover
And I'm looking down the road smoking tunes through the speakers
I think my neighbours have been listening
Ain't no banging on the door or complaints through the screams
I think that they just left me sipping
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
The lyrics of Maverick Sabre's song "Drifting" tell a tale of rebellion, uncertainty, and the desire to escape. The opening lines set the scene of being in a car with the police following closely behind. The singer contemplates the possibility of being apprehended by the cops, which adds a sense of tension to the situation. However, amidst this unease, they find solace in the high they feel from drugs and alcohol. The mention of "drifting" suggests a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction.
As the song progresses, the singer finds themselves in a different scenario: sitting at a bar with a bouncer nearby. The singer feels a sense of suspicion, fearing that the bouncer may discover the hidden bottle in their bag or notice their lack of identification. However, to their surprise, the bouncer engages in a simple conversation rather than interrogating them. This momentary relief shows that sometimes our fears are unwarranted, and things may not be as grim as we anticipate.
The chorus, "We turn around and now we're drifting," serves as a refrain that repeats throughout the song. It symbolizes the theme of displacement and the constant state of uncertainty the singer finds themselves in. They are constantly turning away from their problems or the harsh realities of life and finding temporary relief in drifting, whether it be through substance use or other means.

And we're sitting in the car with the cops in the rear
We're in a car with police behind us
And I'm thinking will they drag me
I'm worried they might arrest me
And we're pushing on the high got the bud and the beer
We're consuming marijuana and alcohol
When we turn around we're drifting now
We're now driving recklessly
And I'm sitting at a bar and the bouncer appears
I'm at a bar and the bouncer approaches me
And I'm thinking that he's looking
I think he suspects something
Got a bottle in my bag no ID in my jeans
I have a bottle in my bag and no identification in my jeans
But he just asks me how I'm doing
But he just asks me how I'm feeling
In the city in the dark in the park in the fear
In the city, in the darkness, in the park, feeling scared
And I'm wishing for another
And I wish for something different
But there something in sky, feel the sun can you see it?
But there's something in the sky, can you feel the warmth of the sun?
I don't know why I'm undercover
I'm not sure why I'm hiding my true self
And I'm looking down the road smoking tunes through the speakers
I'm looking ahead on the road while playing music through the singers
I think my neighbours have been listening
I suspect my neighbors have been hearing the music
Ain't no banging on the door or complaints through the screams
There's no knocking on the door or complaints amidst the noise
I think that they just left me sipping
I think they simply left me alone, still enjoying my drink
We turn around and now we're drifting
We suddenly change direction and start driving recklessly
We turn around and now we're drifting
Again, we abruptly change direction and drive recklessly
We turn around and now we're drifting
Once more, we unexpectedly change direction and drive recklessly

"And we're sitting in the car with the cops in the rear
And I'm thinking will they drag me
And we're pushing on the high got the bud in the BM
When we turn around we're drifting now
And I'm sitting at a bar and the bounce appears
And I'm thinking that he's looking
Got a bottle in my bag no ID in my jeans
But he just asks me how I'm doing
[Chorus]
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
In the city, in the dark, in the park, in the fear
And I'm wishing for another
But there something in sky, feel the sun, can you see it?
I don't know why I'm undercover
And I'm looking down the road
Smoking tunes through the speakers
I think my neighbours have been listening
Ain't no banging on the door or complaints through the screams
I think that they just left me sippin'
[Chorus]
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting
We turn around and now we're drifting"

Dear Mr Maverick Sabre im probably a bit old for your usual fan base but I just wanted to thank you for your music. I've been the subject of domestic violence and lived on the streets for two years. Ive been struggling to be honest but you're music has stopped me from killing myself. Listen to it evert night and it gives me hope. I am so grateful. I hope all the best things happen for you and thank you again x
