Skyline Drive
The Sky's The Limit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why must you bring up all mistakes i've made
She makes me smile
You come around
The wind in her hair reflects the sunset
I see you
Make it seem like it was yesterday
But we've come a long way
But still find nothing at all
Why can't i
Why must you say i've made a mess of things
I won't believe it
I feel like i'm dancing on air tonight
I'll make it right
I'll make it right
Pull into another station and get more fuel
What will i do
Sometimes i drive or ride with my eyes closed tight
Cause if the skyline looks this way
Then i don't want to sleep tonight
(never giving in always seeking light
We must always try try with all our might)
The song "Skyline Drive" by The Sky's The Limit is a reflection on a relationship and the challenges of moving on from past mistakes. The singer acknowledges that sometimes they try to escape from their problems by running away, but they are not afraid to face them. The mention of the mistakes made by the singer hints at some kind of conflict in the relationship with the person they are addressing. Despite this, the lyrics suggest that the presence of another person, possibly someone new, brings joy into their life, symbolized in the line "She makes me smile / You come around."
The metaphor of driving on Skyline Drive is used to represent the journey of life and the ups and downs that come with it. The image of the wind in the girl's hair reflecting the sunset is a beautiful one that suggests hope and possibility. However, the song also acknowledges the difficulties encountered along the way. The line "Out of the rain i search for answers / But still find nothing at all" suggests that the singer is still grappling with questions about their past mistakes and how to move forward. The repeated line "I'll make it right" is a determination to put things back on track, to fix what has been broken, and to start again.
