DROWN
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I'm not OK and it's not all right
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 OK and it's not all right
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
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 lyrics to Boys of Fall's song "Drown" express the difficulty of dealing with depression and the need for someone to save you from drowning in your own thoughts. The opening line, "What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead," highlights the pain and anguish that comes with mental health struggles. The hole in the soul growing deeper and deeper symbolizes the emptiness and hopelessness that can consume a person's thoughts.
The chorus repeats the plea to be saved from drowning and emphasizes the importance of having someone to help fight the battle. The line "the loneliness is haunting me" speaks to the loneliness one can feel even when surrounded by people, as depression can often feel like a solitary experience. The repetition of "Who will fix me now?" emphasizes the desperation for someone to intervene and help lift the burden.
The bridge acknowledges that the struggle can be too much to face alone and that support is needed. The repetition of "Cause you know that I can't do this on my own" further emphasizes that point. The song ends with one final plea for help, underscoring the urgency and necessity of having someone to turn to in times of mental health struggles.
Overall, "Drown" is a powerful, emotional call for help and a reminder of the importance of being there for someone in need.

I have not listened to the original and I don't plan on it. This is way to good.
AlTheKillernoFillameyawn 95
Missing tf out tbh
Philip
Its 4 years now. Did you listen to their live Orchestra version?
If not do it. Crying everytime.
Gaétan Chevaleau
I think they are just different, but both are good
Graeme Straughn
These guys are awesome but the BMTH version is the 'real' version. These guys do a great cover but BMTH's is still superior imo
James Baranak
I have gone and listened to the original BUT this is still 100 times better! (:
A9entAssassin
Definitely better than any other cover I've heard of this song. And that's saying a lot considering there's so damn many. You guys have some beautiful vocals and have some real talent as a band whole; I'm definitely going to be stoked to check out some more of your stuff. :)
Kevin Soulos
I’ve been listening to this for months now, so much better than original
clayton reel
Best cover I've heard. Is there any way I could get tabs for the guitar?
