About

Lyrics are mine Adrift is a soft, melancholic acoustic song about lost memories, uncertainty, and the feeling of drifting through life without direction. It explores themes of loss, longing, and the quiet search for somewhere to belong.

Lyrics

Verse

I feel sand on salt-soaked socks

As seagulls carve evening skies

On weathered wings built for bliss

I'll be adrift, I'll be adrift

Pre-Chorus

A broken staircase by the shore

Kept a shoe that lost its foot

Its laces looked defeated

By the steps it never took

Chorus

And though it kept on dreaming

Of the path it meant to miss

The sole was never soulless

To be adrift, to be adrift

Post-Chorus

To be adrift, to be adrift

To be adrift, to be adrift

Verse 2

The purpose of an ocean

Never questions time

It does not need a compass

Nor does it need a guide

Pre-Chrous

And still it stole the soles

That wandered on the sand

I followed where they'd vanished

Yet never left the land

Chorus

And though it kept on dreaming

Of the path it meant to miss

The sole was never soulless

To be adrift, to be adrift

Verse 3

Although I've lost my memories

Chasing shoes I forgot to miss

I stayed on the shores of reveries

I was adrift, I was adrift

Chorus

And though I kept on dreaming

Of the path I meant to miss

My soul was never soulless

I am adrift, always adrift

Post-Chorus

I am adrift

Always adrift
