Driftwood
VANDEROCKER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I reach you, you will understand
I can′t reach you
Or tech you to swim
A piece of driftwood
Your new best friend
Keep you dry
Until you fall in
If I fade
I'll always be your friend
Find the beauty
While you can
What am I?
GOD IN TWO
Feeling lonely
It is what we do
We won′t sto
Just to comfort you
Piece of driftwood
Will keep you dry
It gives you something to live for
Falling in love is like hologram
Whatch the shadows slip through your hands
Find the beauty
While you can
What am I?
GOD IN TWO
Out of touch
Whit this state of mind
If I stay
I'll always be on time
A piece of driftwood
Your new best friend
Keep you dry
Until you fall in
Your ship will come
When you start to swim
Find the beauty
When you jump in
I'll fall in love anyhow
A piece of driftwood is enough for now.
The lyrics of "Driftwood" by VANDEROCKER offer a commentary on love, loneliness, and the transient nature of life. The opening lines, "Falling in love is out of our hand / If I reach you, you will understand," suggest that love is not something we can control, but rather something that happens to us. The imagery of a piece of driftwood as a new best friend that will keep you dry until you fall in represents the idea of relying on something to keep you afloat until you can swim on your own.
The song emphasizes the idea of finding beauty in life, even in moments of loneliness and isolation. The lines, "Feeling lonely / It is what we do / We won’t stop / Just to comfort you" suggest that feeling lonely is a universal experience, but that we must continue on in the face of it. The chorus asks, "What am I? / GOD IN TWO," hinting at the idea of duality and conflicting emotions.
The final lines, "Your ship will come / When you start to swim / Find the beauty / When you jump in / I’ll fall in love anyhow / A piece of driftwood is enough for now," offer a message of hope and resilience. The idea is that you can't sit around waiting for good things to happen, but rather you need to create them for yourself. In the end, love may come, but until then, a piece of driftwood is enough to keep you afloat.
