Drown
Apulanta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I have two faces
You can choose the one you want
Oh, I know I climb too high
I want to see the sun
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
All those ghosts we thought were gone
They all came back to stay
To stay for evermore
Oh, I know I fly too close
I want to feel the flame
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Oh, I know I fly too close
I want to feel the flame
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
Drown in my world
In Apulanta's song "Drown," the lyrics describe the singer's desire to be in control, even if it means being torn apart. The artist acknowledges that they have two faces and offers the listener the choice of which face to see. They admit that they have a tendency to push boundaries and climb too high, wanting to experience the thrill of being close to danger. The repeated refrain of "drown in my world" seems to suggest a desire to pull others into their world and share this sensation of overwhelming intensity.
