Drown
BEDROOM - 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 "Drown" by Bring Me The Horizon express deep feelings of pain, loneliness, and struggles with mental health. The opening lines "What doesn't kill you, Makes you wish you were dead" convey a sense of enduring hardship that leaves one feeling shattered and hollow inside. The metaphor of a "hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper" emphasizes the increasing emotional emptiness and despair that the singer is experiencing.


The repetition of the lines "One more moment of this silence, The loneliness is haunting me" highlights the overwhelming sense of isolation and solitude that the singer is facing. The weight of the world bearing down on them becomes harder and harder to bear, symbolizing the overwhelming burden of emotional pain and struggles they are carrying.


The chorus reflects a cry for help and a plea for someone to rescue them from their inner turmoil. The lines "Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? Save me from myself, Don't let me drown" express a desperate plea for support and intervention to prevent them from succumbing to their inner demons and self-destructive tendencies.


The repeated questioning of "Who will fix me now?" and the insistence on being saved from drowning signify a yearning for external assistance and a lifeline to pull them out of their emotional abyss. The final lines "Cause you know that I can't do this on my own" reinforce the message that the singer feels unable to overcome their struggles independently and desperately needs help from others to find their way back to a place of stability and hope.

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.

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 aĂ­ a chelsea smile e vĂȘ 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 nĂŁo te matou te faz querer morrer
HĂĄ um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu nĂŁo aguento

Mais um momento de silĂȘncio
A solidĂŁo vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo Ă© difĂ­cil suportar

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

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

O que nĂŁo te destruiu, nĂŁo te deixa viver
HĂĄ um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu nĂŁo aguento
Mais um momento de silĂȘncio
A solidĂŁo vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo Ă© difĂ­cil suportar

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

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

Porque eu nĂŁo sou nada sem vocĂȘ

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.
