Drifting In and Out
Porcelain Raft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't have to make any sense
Use what you have, I'll follow you
Use what you have, don't you worry now
Drifting in and out...
Choose what to be, take a side
Give it to others, just let it go now
Give it to others, don't you worry now
Drifting in and out...
Porcelain Raft's song Drifting In and Out explores the theme of directionlessness, encouraging listeners to get lost in the moment and let go of any worries or expectations. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender and trust in the moment, allowing the listener to be guided by whatever is available. The line "Use what you have, I'll follow you" suggests a willingness to go along with whatever opportunities or circumstances arise, rather than trying to control or steer one's path. It's a song that encourages surrender and an openness to the unknown, trusting that the journey will unfold naturally.
The title of the song, "Drifting In and Out," further emphasizes this sense of surrender and letting go. The word "drifting" suggests a lack of control, as if the listener is being carried along by a current, while "in and out" creates a sense of fluctuation and unpredictability. Together, these words create a feeling of being adrift and unmoored, yet also free and unencumbered.
