Drown
Brian Dalton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're going to make me drown
Let's turn the symptoms up
And let this inhibition down
Your skin getting hotter
As I'm laying you to the ground
When the music stops
The air you breathe
To me it's all I can speak
All I need
The night's alive
I press, you writhe
In ectasy
It's all that's meant to be
You make me drown
We're starting a fire
But you're going to burn me down
When the flame builds up
You're the one to make the sound
The air you breathe
To me it's all I can speak
All I need
The night's alive
I press, you writhe
In ectasy
It's all that's meant to be
And so we stand inside this frame in time
We'll cease to be
It's more than memories
You burn me down
To call it is my soul
You're the one who lets me know
There's nothing that's really a lie
Other than you and I
The night's alive
I press, you writhe
In ectasy
It's all that's meant to be
And so we stand inside this frame in time
We'll cease to be
It's more than memories
You make me drown
The lyrics to Brian Dalton's song "Drown" depict a passionate, intense relationship between two people. The first verse describes the sensation of drowning that the singer feels when he's with his lover. He recognizes that they're both treading water but fears that he's going to go down. He wants to let go of any inhibitions and turn up the heat between them, even if it means drowning in the overwhelming intensity of their connection. The second verse continues this theme of burning desire, but this time he recognizes that his lover has the power to burn him down. Together, they're creating a fire that's too hot to handle, but they don't want to put it out. They're both consumed by this passion, and it's a dangerous, exhilarating feeling.
The chorus is a repetition of the same lyrics, emphasizing the idea that this relationship is all-consuming. The bridge is more introspective, acknowledging that this intense connection is temporary. They stand inside a frame in time, but they'll inevitably cease to be together at some point. However, the lyrics also suggest that this relationship is worth it. The memories and the moments they share together are more than just fleeting experiences – they're what makes life worth living. Even if they ultimately drown in their love for each other, it's better than living without ever really truly feeling alive.
Overall, "Drown" is a powerful and emotional song about a love that's all-consuming and intense. It's about the kind of passion that's dangerous and exhilarating but also fleeting and ultimately doomed.

We're treading the water
We're just staying afloat without actually moving forward
But you're going to make me drown
You're going to pull me down into your problems and issues
Let's turn the symptoms up
Instead of addressing the underlying issues, let's just amplify the signs and pretend everything is fine
And let this inhibition down
Let's lower our guards and just indulge in what feels good
Your skin getting hotter
I can tell you're getting more excited
As I'm laying you to the ground
As I'm taking you down to a more primal level
When the music stops
When the distractions and mood enhancers fade away
And your heart begins to pound
And you realize the gravity of the situation
The air you breathe
Your very existence, your essence
To me it's all I can speak
It's the only thing I can comprehend and express
All I need
It's what gives me purpose and direction
The night's alive
The atmosphere is charged with energy
I press, you writhe
I take control, you surrender
In ectasy
In a state of heightened pleasure
It's all that's meant to be
This is our destiny
You make me drown
You pull me into this intense experience
We're starting a fire
We're igniting a passion that will consume us
But you're going to burn me down
But you're going to be the one who destroys me in the end
When the flame builds up
When the intensity becomes too much to handle
You're the one to make the sound
You're the one to cry out in pain or pleasure
And so we stand inside this frame in time
We're frozen in this moment, unable to escape
We'll cease to be
We'll lose our identities and merge into one
It's more than memories
It's an experience that will shape us permanently
To call it is my soul
This is my deepest desire and passion
You're the one who lets me know
You're the one who brings it out of me and makes it real
There's nothing that's really a lie
There's an authenticity in what we're doing, even if it's not conventional or acceptable
Other than you and I
Our connection, our bond, is the only thing that matters
