Drown
Bring Me The Horizon [That's the Spirit] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 fine, 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 fine 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
('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 "Drown" by Bring Me the Horizon express overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, and the struggle to keep going.

They still have some fight left in them, and they're begging for someone to save them from their own despair.
The chorus repeats the plea for help, asking who will fix them, who will save them from drowning in their own emotions. The verse goes on to describe the struggle of holding on when it feels like the weight of the world is crushing you. The metaphor of waves burying the singer evokes a sense of suffocation and drowning, which mirrors their emotional state.

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 aí a chelsea smile e vê 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 não te matou te faz querer morrer
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
O que não te destruiu, não te deixa viver
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Porque eu não sou nada sem você

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.
