Falling In Reverse - Drifter Lyrics






As I'm thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
I try to turn around to leave but the door it slams and locks
So I sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
I lost where I was going cause I forgot where I came from

I surrender put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags I'll always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
I'm a drifter
I'm a drifter

Now every time I look straight into my fathers eyes
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
The only option that he ever had was too hope for the best

I surrender put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags I'll always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

My faith is weak my soul is bound this lonely road I travel down
I scrape my feet this jagged ground the cuts run deep into me now
Mother oh why aren't you here so young I was, you disappeared
I know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?

I surrender, curse my mothers soul
I still miss her no matter where I go
It's time for me to pack my bags I will always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is a broken home

  6. �.... T....

    I remember first discovering these guys my sophomore year of high school. I couldn't believe how different they sounded compared to the other bands I liked at the time, this song however truly reached out to me. I can't remember a day where I didn't miss my mother. The way she would touch me when I was sick, and lay in bed, and fondle my cock and balls. I remember her always telling me I was her favorite son. When she disappeared I was 14, we were living in Vegas at the time. She went to go to her friend Christy's house folr lunch on a thursday and never returned. I felt so alone. So frustrated, so isolated. I would get pent up rage; how could I masturbate on my own without the gentle nurturing touch of my mothers sweet silky hands. When this song first came on my PANDORA RADIO STATION: RONNIE RADKE GREATEST HITS RADIO I was on my way to an away game against my rival high school. I was playing wide reciever. I broke out in tears. I started bawling on the bus. My coach asked me, "hey James, are you ok?" and i couldn't even respond. I couldn't even play. I felt such a light from the heavens shine on me. Some sort of joyful closure. Listening to this all these years later I can't help but miss my mother, I spent some time in the Orange County Correctional Facility and a few guys said they know her but didn't really wanna say much. Such nostalgia. Poetry in motion. I miss you mom, your memory lives on.

    Still listening to this now. Never gets old.

  11. B.... L....

    Ahhh...when falling in reverse made good music...😢

  12. V.... Z....

    I was crying trhough the all song

  13. A.... B....

    I love it

  14. I.... R....

    I'm not sure if this qualifies as a broken home, as I had both my parents from a very young age. But love was always verbally expressed, and shown through buying gifts but it all hides their personalities. My mother is emotionally unavailable for anyone other than herself, and my father is lazy and chooses to sit in his own misery. I've been slapped and choked by these people as a child. The irony is that I was adopted. They chose me.

    I just remember staying up late, late at night just having this song on repeat. I'm not sure why as Ronnie feels sorrow for his father; whereas I don't know what to feel towards either of them.

  15. J.... J....

    My mother left this world one year and a half ago, it just takes to change "curse" to "bless" (my mother's soul) for me to break myself into tears

  16. R.... ....

    2009-2015. never a better time to be a part of this community.

  17. �.... ....

    S.... U....

  23. G.... ....

  31. M.... V....

    He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps.... right in the feels. I don't know what I'm doing in this town.

  32. K.... ....

    ok this album is not bad the breakdowns was awesome the solos of guitar to and the voices are better but the rap is a shit and i know that because im listening to rap 8 years and this album have so electronic, i think that is not enough power in some songs and the solos are not enough but goods

  33. S.... ....

    algum br? música foda

    S.... ....

    +Jonas Richard Games Eu

  34. f.... s....

    this is exactly how I felt about my dad. we didn't end on the best terms, but he's probably in a better place now.

  35. T.... C....

    Just goes to show we will always be alone, we only have ourselves to be happy but there is always someone who has got our back's. That is us.

  36. C.... B....

    this is definitely the worst song I've ever heard in my life, not lyrically because it was just too bad to actually pay attention to the lyrics. I heard it at a party a while back and all of us were just saying "wtf is playing" I searched it because well, I don't fucking know but I wish I wouldn't have.

    C.... B....

    that's your opinion get out of the comment section 😡

    C.... B....

    +Marky Acevedo that's your opinion, get off my comment. 😂

    C.... B....

    +Celida Balbastro it's ok mate :) some like this song and some not
    i like this song tho
    people have differnet taste in music

  37. O.... L....

    Tell me this song in the beginning sounds like the song View From Heaven by Yellowcard. I'm not the only one lol

  38. B.... ....

    My mom only ever comes around once a year or so more my sisters birthday.

    She doesn't know when mine is :p

    B.... ....

    Jesus, she's a bitch. Your birthday is probably an awesome day and she's just missing out

  39. L.... ....

    my life in one song

  40. 1.... ....

    Love this song
    To me this isn't a sad song, though the lyrics tell of pain the tune is cheerful
    It's like a nod to where you come from, a testament to your survival.
    Things are bad yea but as long as you can still admit it and face it with smile and laugh and sing a cheerful tune, then you're doing ok.

  41. k.... j....

    Makes me sad thinking about all the stuff Ronnie had to go through... growing up without a mother, being addicted to drugs, going to jail, his brother dying, and a bunch of other things I don't know about. I grew up with my mom in and out of my life, I know what it feels like having a single father raise you. Seeing you live tomorrow Ronnie, I'm so excited.

    k.... j....

    I just have my dad right now my mom went to jail and I never met 3 of my brothers

  42. C.... L....

    Picture this song with "The Day I Left The Womb" from when he had etf

  43. M.... V....

    This is sooo relatable.
    I grew up and am still growing up in a broken home.
    It's hard.
    I've lived with my dad without my mom since I was 3.

  44. R.... O....

    Alguien comenta en español y todos pierden la cabeza.

    R.... O....

    La verdad no.

  45. S.... ....

    In my eyes this song is mostly about Ronnies life and now looking back he can see how horrible he used to be but has come so far, how wrong he was about people (including his father) and how some things fade but never completely go away (his mother. Ex. (Did you truly ever love me?!) he finally looked past her abandoning him and is basically asking if he ever meant a thing to her. I'm sure somewhere in the world, his mother is regretting the moment she walked out and every second is cutting deeper inside her. Sad...

  46. M.... H....

    I love this band i listen to it every day 💘💘💘❤️💛💚💙💜💘💘💘💘💘❤️💛💚💙💜💘💘💘❤️💛💚💙💜💘💘💘💖💖💖

  47. L.... T....

    V.... ....

    @TrixxyHD Fuck you!

    V.... ....

    TrixxyHD I think you hit a nerve Goldenshowers is autistic

    V.... ....

    Haha! And I know he wasn't insulting the album, he was insulting the opinion that some one had about the album

    V.... ....

    Jesus Christ, if he doesn't like 1 or 2 songs, he can still be a fan. And I don't think anyone here knows what autism is.

    V.... ....

    Revenge Frank Iero is my spirit animal my man you're 2 years late into this argument

  50. N.... ....

    These onions are powerful

    A.... B....

    Cierto :)

  59. r.... n....

    i played this song for my younger sister and 
     she was silent the whole song and then at the end she said i don't know why people don't like this kind of music so much with so much meaning in it. and she doesn't listen to this kinda music normally but she also doesn't judge me for doing so like my other siblings do 

    r.... n....

    WHO FUCKING CARES ??

    r.... n....

    Dude chill out

  60. B.... ....

    There's Ronnie. <3

  61. T.... H....

    I love when ronnies songs are made soley off his emotions and life. The lyrics are 100% better ❤

  62. h.... ....

    This song fits Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester from Supernatural soooo much!

    h.... ....

    That's so true except their mom died when they were young & their dad was the one that left. But I get what you mean

    h.... ....

    @Carlos Pagan True true :)

    h.... ....

    I love that show and I thought that it was hilarious that the first comment
     i read is about the boys.

    h.... ....

    and when they say, "curse my mother's soul, i still miss her"... it's so literal because their mother's soul was... cursed. but also with the bit about his father in the beginning... totally dean right there. someone needs to make a music video lol

  63. S.... S....

    I want more of this!

  64. P.... ....

    has the tone of an MCR lyrics

  65. H.... M....

    All I need now is to learn how to play this on the guitar and I will be good. I have the lyrics memorized

  66. S.... A....

    Also this song never fails to make me cry.

    S.... A....

    Sophie AndImTired-I always cry

    S.... A....

    Sophie AndImTired this song gets me in my feels too.

    S.... A....

    Crying is for the strong, and that's why I'm weak

  67. S.... A....

    This is the realest shit on the album.

  68. D.... ....

    Can't wait until the 27th, I will be waiting....

  69. K.... B....

    I love this song, but I'll never understand why this song was put onto a mostly rap rock CD. Or why Falling In Reverse made a rap rock CD in the first place...

  70. M.... ....

    This song , i listen to it when i go for my run , it make so much sense , always a great time :)

  88. A.... B....
