Drowning
A. K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When everything falls into place
And everyone can go to rest
Emotions speak for themselves
It all makes sense
When the road splits in two
And it's too hard to choose
Instincts will guide you when You're lost
But one day the water came
And it took it all away
Watching ants live their life
Hoping they will come
And eat my disgust
For humankind
So small so simple
Nothing too complex
No overdose
Of thinking
But one day the water came
And they all drowned the same
Soon I will learn how to swim
When my streets will be flooded
I will be ready to dive in
I will be ready to sink in me
When everyone seems to run away
And you feel lonely every day
You can find love
In yourself




And one day the water came
But this time I'm not afraid

Overall Meaning

The song "Drowning" by A. K. tells the story of an individual who has experienced a great loss that took everything away from them. The first verse talks about how everything falls into place and emotions speak for themselves which brings a sense of clarity and understanding. However, when faced with a difficult decision, instincts are what guide the individual. But then, tragedy strikes and a metaphorical flood takes everything away, leaving the individual feeling small and insignificant like the ants they watch.


Despite the loss and loneliness, the song ends on a positive note. The individual expresses their willingness to learn how to swim and dive into their emotions, ready to face anything that comes their way. They also recognize the importance of self-love and not being afraid of the inevitability of future struggles.


The lyrics are powerful and convey a sense of vulnerability in the face of loss and tragedy. The use of metaphors, such as the flood and the ants, adds depth to the message of the song.
