Cover art for Adrift lyrics by Jack Johnson

i think this song is about moving into the stages of life where the inevitable foreshadows of it all becomes relevant. like when people say "you'll find out as you get older" there are certain hurdles the majority of us face. yet you are unique, and no one can honestly tell you what will happen, "your voice is your own", so they can only guide you through events that probably will take place.
