Drown
40. Bring Me The Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What doesn't kill you
Makes you wish you were dead
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take
One more moment of this silence
The loneliness is haunting me
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up
It comes in waves, I close my eyes
Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not okay and it's not alright
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again

Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown

What doesn't destroy you
Leaves you broken instead
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take

One more moment of this silence
The loneliness is haunting me
And the weight of the worlds getting harder to hold up

It comes in waves, I close my eyes
Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not okay and it's not alright
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again

Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

(You know that I can't do this on my own)

Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?

Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?




Save me from myself
Don't let me drown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bring Me The Horizon's "Drown" reflect the feeling of someone who is struggling to cope with the weight of their own sadness and solitude. The lines "What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead" suggest that the singer is going through something that is causing emotional trauma. He/she feels like there is a "hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper" and that life is becoming more difficult to hold onto. The "silence" is getting unbearable, and the "loneliness" is haunting the singer.


The chorus is a cry for help. The singer is asking for someone to "fix" them and "save" them from themselves. There is a sense of urgency and desperation in the lyrics. The mention of "dragging the lake" suggests that the singer is in a dark place and may be considering suicide. However, the idea of being saved and not letting them drown is a glimmer of hope.


The repetition of the question "Who will fix me now?" emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and the need for someone to come to their rescue. Throughout the song, the singer admits that they cannot do this alone and needs assistance.


Line by Line Meaning

What doesn't kill you
Experiencing hardship can make you stronger


Makes you wish you were dead
The pain can be so intense that you desire an end to it


Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
Feeling empty and incomplete inside, and the feeling is worsening


And I can't take
The pain is too much to bear


One more moment of this silence
The quietness is deafening and contributes to the feeling of isolation


The loneliness is haunting me
The feeling of being alone is terrifying and overwhelming

Hold my breath and let it bury me

I'm not OK and it's not alright
I am struggling, and everything is not okay


Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again
Please rescue me from my situation, and bring me back to safety

What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead.
Got a hole in my soul, growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.

It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?

Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.

What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.

It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?

Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own. Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.



@LoganSLRLockwood

The comments section is filled with 3 types of idiots:
1. The idiots who trash on their older stuff and say it's just "noise"
2. The idiots who trash on their newer stuff and say this is "too soft"
3. The idiots who contradict themselves way too much by saying stuff like "they're a band, they can do whatever they want, but I'm not liking this new style"

Let me make this clear
1. BMTH were a different genre when they made Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season, everything after that has been melodic hardcore or something like that, not deathcore, you can't expect them to stick to their old style if they're not even in that genre anymore
2. Just because this song's softer than their Sempiternal stuff doesn't mean its rubbish, it's still lyrically one of the best songs they've ever made, and if all you care about is how it sounds, I'm sorry, you need to be listening to stuff like Justin Bieber and One Direction, not Bring Me The Horizon
3. No band has stuck with the style they started off with, people grow up, and naturally probably ditch their old styles because they're either bored of it or they can't do it anymore because they've finally gotten over the crazy drugs they used to do at that time

calma ae primou, ouve aí a chelsea smile e vê a letra man...

















todos nós carregamos essas coisas onde ninguem mais pode ver, eles nos seguram como ancoras, eles nos afogam no mar. eu olho para o céu pode não ter nada la pra ver mas se eu não acredito nele, por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim?

Drown • Portuguese Version

O que não te matou te faz querer morrer
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento

Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar

Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem

Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!

O que não te destruiu, não te deixa viver
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar

Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem

Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!

Porque eu não sou nada sem você

I’m so incredibly proud of you. This was my crying song when life was shit but I know one day I would come back to it again and be able to connect to it in a different way. I haven’t watched or heard this song in almost a year or so and this your comment made me incredibly happy. I too can finally relate to it just like you. I’m so proud of you.
