Drifting
Trey Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll do anything If that means we evolve
I can't read your face no more
Really I can't read myself like that
It's all fantasy sometimes
Can we spare some time
I can't deny what I feel
Live until we die
I'll survive
Until the morn
A change will come
Under the sun
I feel you
I see you
Drifting away
Will I always
Remember Your face
Sitting and I'm thinkin' bout the breeze
I felt heaven when I'm with you my release
I'm, floating gettin wavy off the tease
I don't smoke them but I'm sitting in the trees high
Hoping that you meet me underneath
I'll keep waiting, never gonna leave
I remember everything you said to me
I'll keep waiting really wanna see
I'll keep waiting really wanna see
I'll keep waiting really wanna see
I'll keep waiting really wanna see
I'll keep waiting really wanna see
In Trey Moore's song "Drifting," the lyrics seem to explore the complexities of a relationship that is drifting apart. The first verse suggests that the singer and their partner are avoiding discussing their issues, but the singer is willing to do anything to help the relationship grow and evolve. However, both parties seem to struggle with understanding each other's emotions. The line "I can't read your face no more, really I can't read myself like that" indicates a sense of confusion and detachment.
The chorus delves into the theme of fantasy and the passage of time. The singer hopes for some time to resolve their differences and expresses a desire to act on their feelings. They mention living until they die as a way of highlighting the importance of making the most of the relationship they have. The phrase "I'll survive until the morn, a change will come under the sun" suggests a belief in the possibility of renewal and growth.
The second verse introduces a peaceful scene, with the singer thinking about the breeze and evoking a sense of serenity. They recall feeling a sense of bliss when they were with their partner, describing it as a release. The idea of being in the trees and feeling high may symbolize a state of elevated emotions and thoughts, perhaps even a sense of transcendence. The singer hopes their partner will join them in this serene space under the trees, emphasizing their willingness to wait for them.
Repetition is used in the final lines of the song, where the singer reiterates their commitment to waiting and their strong desire to see their partner. The repetition of "I'll keep waiting really wanna see" emphasizes the singer's longing and dedication to the relationship, despite the current drift.
In summary, "Drifting" delves into the complexities of a relationship experiencing distance and detachment. It explores the struggle to understand each other's emotions and the desire to evolve and grow together. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, hope, and a willingness to wait for the connection to be restored.
