Drive
Misty Mtn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick of indecision
Either want me or you don't
I'm done with inconsistent
Build me up, then send me home
I gotta get outta here
Keep getting my hopes up
Gotta get outta here
While I still got my hopes up

And i'll drive and i'll drive
And i'll drive and i'll drive
Up through the mountains
Down to the beach
Without a care
Won't stop til I get there
And I'll drive and I'll drive

I was stuck with your temptation
Lovin everyone but me
I'm bored of expectation
Disappointment helped me see
I gotta get outta here
Keep getting my hopes up
Gotta get outta here
While I still got my hopes up

And i'll drive and i'll drive
And i'll drive and i'll drive
Up through the mountains
Down to the beach
Without a care
Won't stop til I get there
And I'll drive and I'll drive

Leaving aint defeat
Leavings just a path i'm takin
Been thinking bout this for a while
Are you coming with me

And i'll drive and i'll drive
And i'll drive and i'll drive

Up through the mountains
Down to the beach
Without a care
Won't stop til I get there
And I'll drive and I'll drive

And i'll drive and i'll drive

And i'll drive and i'll drive
And i'll drive and i'll drive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Misty Mtn's song Drive convey a sense of frustration and a desire for change. The singer is tired of the indecision and inconsistency in their relationship and recognizes the need to move on. The repetition of the phrase "I gotta get outta here" emphasizes this feeling of urgency and the need to leave behind the disappointment and unfulfilled expectations. The chorus, with its repetition of "And I'll drive and I'll drive," suggests a certain liberation that comes with hitting the open road, as the singer is able to leave their troubles behind and focus on the journey ahead.

However, even amidst this desire for change, there is a sense of uncertainty. The singer acknowledges that leaving is not defeat, but it is still a path that they are taking, and they must consider whether or not their partner will join them on this journey. Despite this uncertainty, though, the singer remains determined to keep driving and moving forward, without caring about the destination, as long as they are making progress towards something new and better for themselves.
