Drowning
я¤ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life looks different down here
Inside my dying prison
If I could reach the edge of this
I'll take it somewhere if I could

[Chorus]
But I am slipping under water
The tide oh it's pulling me much farther
Maybe I am drowning, oh I'm drowning

My Tsunami, my Katrina and my inner Sandy
Man it will not simmer expanding
If I swam seem like I would slam the damn thing
But I'm scrambling, falling like I damaged my hamstring
I'm deeply disturbed, so many things keep me perturbed
Inside of me peeping this surge and I'm completely submerged
My data wiped even if NASA had a sight
Couldn't catch it with N.O.A.A.'s ghost satellite
Storms at five with them I'm torn alive
Hearing the horns from high
Pain is for sure my eye
Having a lot of blackouts
Medics try putting me on medicine
But I need light
Just like the East need con Edison
I'm dead again
Drowning and everybody else is messed when
I got troubles thats been pulling me down
And jesting, water no breath in
Look how it swept in
To evacuate or not evacuate?
Is the question

[Chorus]

Teach me to swim, keep me from them
Eating the limbs and other body pieces from him
I may be wrong not to, play these songs, caught ya
When you got me drowning in my own Davy Jones locker
It's caving in, it's over weight
No saving him, he's freeloader bait
And everybody picks him than sticks him
But your rain ????? equal my shut down system
Yeah





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to я¤’s song “Drowning” express feelings of being trapped and overwhelmed, with a sense of desperation and the need for help. The opening lines convey a powerful image of being in a “dying prison” and feeling hopeless. The singer wishes to escape from this situation but feels unable to do so, ultimately succumbing to the “tide” and drowning.


Throughout the song, я¤’s lyrics use a metaphor to compare the feeling of being overwhelmed to drowning in water. The “tide” represents the forces that pull the singer further and further down, making it difficult to overcome the obstacles in their way. The chorus succinctly summarizes this feeling, with the repetition of the phrase “drowning” emphasizing the sense of struggle and the impossibility of escape.


The second verse of “Drowning” delves deeper into the mental and emotional pain that the singer is experiencing. The use of natural disasters like Tsunamis and Katrinas add to the sense of chaos and destruction that they feel inside. Even NASA and N.O.A.A.’s technology would not be able to save them, emphasizing the sense of isolation and helplessness.


The third verse pivots towards a plea for help and community support. The singer asks to be taught how to swim and saved from the forces that are consuming them. However, they also acknowledge the possibility that they may be wrong and must take responsibility for their actions. The final lines of the song suggest that despite their deep anguish, they may be rejected by others and left to face this struggle alone.
