Drifting Lyrics
You've been gone for so long, all that you know has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow...
Of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name...
Do they fill up the emptiness?
Larger than life is your fiction, in a universe made up of one.
Chorus
'Cause you have been drifting for so long, I know you dont want to come down.
But, somewhere below you there's people who love you and they're waiting for you to come home. Please come home.
You walk in a room and the world stops to stare.
You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare...
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go.
Does it light up the emptiness?
Larger than life is your fiction, in a universe made up of one.
Chorus
Of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name...
Do they fill up the emptiness?
'Cause you have been drifting for so long, I know you dont want to come down.
But, somewhere below you there's people who love you and they're waiting for you to come home. Please come home.
You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare...
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go.
Does it light up the emptiness?

This song is about super-stardom, from the perspective of the real friends left behind.
This is such a beautiful song.. so sad for me. Especially these line : "You walk in a room and the world stops to stare. You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare... Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go. Does it light up the emptiness?"
To me this song is about running from your past, running so hard and so fast that your universe can't include anyone else. The people left behind are desperate for you to come home, but you can't cause if you stop now then life itself will fall apart.
This song is about fading stardom..... all of the attention is drying out and you are left with only those that truly love you "waiting for you to come home"
This song has always made me think of my sister. She's battled an addiction for years. She's doing well now. The passed years she was drifting for so long. She's came down, and she's home now :)
