Drawing inspiration from his hometown of Wilmington, NC, a picturesque beach town on the North Carolina coast, "Drifting" mirrors the vast expanse of the ocean, inviting listeners on a journey of introspection and self-discovery. The song's somber yet poignant melody, coupled with Rising's evocative vocals, provides a backdrop for its exploration of mental health and the complexities of the human experience.

"The song is about feeling lost and adrift in life, struggling to find stability amidst the waves of uncertainty," says Rising. "All the while trying to 'pretend' everything is okay for the people around us. It's a reflection on the challenges of navigating mental health issues and finding peace within oneself."
