Behind the Artist: Driftin Away Lyrics

In order to better understand the messages and imagery trying to be portrayed in our song i felt it appropriate to write out the lyrics of our song and then analyse it.






 LYRICS

Bin Chilling on this dirt road
Late Night swerving like I'm George Drolles
Smoke growing out the window
and ice cold beer sitting in the console.

Memory Lane up in the head lights
its got me reminiscing on them good times
I'm turning off a real life track
that's right
I'm hitting easy street in good time

[End of acoustic opening]

[Chorus]

W-ahh!
Beats running down these back roads
Smoking on some endo
drinking and I'm on my grind
I've been hustling for a long time
Standing in a long line
Baby, I'm Just tryna get mine

Driftin Aw--------------ay,
Sittin on a cloud and I feel fine

Drifin Aw--------------ay
Too many problems on my mind

[Chorus ends]

[Verse 2]

Smoking
And i'm riding down the backstreets
dark clouds follow 
I always been a black sheep
Allow me to introduce my self 
I'm Nobody
So don't worry when I nuke myself
thats the drink tallking
step in the bank and im j-walking
Estate processed
Stay smoking
so I stayed competent
Get'ch ya Hustler
Riding till my luck is up
I just wanna make a million 
bucks, so I can double up
Thinking bout the past 
and all the things that i've lost 
The money, the people, the cars and
the house,but you live and you learn 
and everyones concerned 
until the cash run out 
and then every body turns

[end of verse 2]

[Loop Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I've been down memory lane
Its something strange
but I'm thinking deep off in my brain
have i changed?
I'm still the same
But we dig a change
I saw the bigger picture
I had plys like gritcher
Had da look in tha' mirror
Now my vision is clear
Go grab me a beer 
lets toast to time
show him that we notice him
ye we focussed in 
never off guard
still in charge
on the boulevard
Play it smart
ye we hitting hard
and away we go living positive 
salute, my accomplishments
its weird how we reminisce
trial for excellence
feeling better than I've ever been
Sipping on that medicine
check my measurements 
I am never off 
that nourishment

[Chorus Loop] 
{Just Driftin Away Part}

[Song fades out]
[End of song]
