about

A song about drifting aimlessly in sea of uncertainty, Adrift talks about the existential crises that people go through and gives the listener hope that an uncertain path is still a path. It talks about the difficult task of convincing oneself to never 'turn out the light' and encourages people to keep going because eventually, they’ll become exactly who they're supposed to be. Adrift was released as the third single and made it to Spotify’s Radar India playlist with 23k followers.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Well, I’ve been drifting for far too long now
And the shore’s nowhere to be found
And the waves, they’re playing my favourite song
As the sky looks on, without a sound

But I wish it was easy as sink or swim
Coz we played to lose
Not a thing to win

Verse 2:

And we always seem to ignore the signs
Think we know much more than we’ve seen
And we always colour outside the lines
Never wondering what might have been

Prechorus:

But is that choice really ours to make
And are our lives really ours to take

Chorus:

Just like the Sun brings all the rain
And not everything is what it seems
There’s always time to change
All you need to do is see

So if you look through all the pain
You’ll see hope for you and me
And when we find ourselves again
We’ll know just who we
Want to be

Verse 3:

But, it’s getting kind of cold now
And the day’s given way to the night
I want to move, but I don’t know how
Will I ever do something right

To think I’ve tried, tried and tried
But to myself, all I’ve done is lie

Verse 4:

I’m standing an inch off this ledge
Take a step back and I’m safe for now
It’s a long way down off of this edge
But it don’t seem that way, somehow
