Drowning
Armin Van Buuren / Laura V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is at my feet and it's no wonder
Your eyes speak to me, they tell me be calm
They tell me be strong
Swimming out so deep, now I can't breathe
And it's exactly where I belong
'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
Let the waves come crashing down
'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love
Love, it's taking over
There's no in between to offer me some cover (oh-oh)
The tide is coming, I don't know if I can take it
I lose my focus, lose my focus
With every breath I feel my inhibition breaking
I can't control it (no-no-no)
'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
And nothing is gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down
'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love
The lyrics of "Drowning" by Armin van Buuren featuring Laura V vividly portray the feeling of being consumed by love, with the analogy of being underwater and drowning. The chorus, "I am drowning in your love," is a powerful metaphor that underlines both the intensity and overwhelming nature of love. The first verse shows that the singer is caught in the moment, lost in their lover's eyes and the feeling of being pulled under, yet they find peace in the depths of the relationship. The second verse shows that the singer is fully aware of the intensity of their emotions, with the tension of not knowing if they can handle it.
The bridge of the song gives context to the drowning metaphor by using oceanic imagery such as waves crashing down and the tide coming in. This shows that the singer is immersed in their emotions, unable to find a way out until they find cover. The lyrics also highlight that the singer knows they have no control over their emotions, and the overwhelming feeling of being overcome by love. The song ends with the chorus repeating in a slightly altered form, amplifying the message of being submerged and lost completely in the sea of love.
Overall, "Drowning" by Armin van Buuren featuring Laura V is a powerful song that poetically encapsulates the feeling of being completely consumed by love. The lyrics use vivid imagery and metaphor to underlie both the beauty and the danger of being overwhelmed with emotions.
