Drown
Carolina Liar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So soon you will learn to forget
Bad times, the rules and regrets
One day they won't reach out for you
So you put out the fires you set
As smoke fades from your last cigarette
You're a mess but yes you're beautiful
It's only gonna set us free
Come on now we can't drown in this water
You been prayin for a remedy
Who really cares about fatal mistakes
Trailer park dreams don't carry much weight
In the long run you've got nothing to prove
So go, run while you can still get away
Take a breath while its still yours to take
You're a mess but yes you're beautiful
Oh come on down we can't drown in this water
It's only gonna set us free
Come on now we can't drown in this water
You been prayin for a remedy
Oh oh a oh x8
So who really cares if you make a mistake
Ohhhhh come on down we can't drown in this water
It's only gonna set us free
Come on now we can't drown in this water
You been prayin for a remedy
Come on down we can't drown in this water
It's only gonna set us free
Come on down you know that you want it
You been prayin for a remedy
The song "Drown" by Carolina Liar seems to be a message of hope to those who have had a rough past and are struggling with mistakes and regrets. The lyrics suggest that one day, the bad times and regrets will not have as strong of a hold on us as they do now. The singer in the song has put out the fires he set, and is slowly learning to forget the mistakes he has made. Although he may still be considered a mess, he is still beautiful.
The chorus of the song seems to suggest that the singer and the listener are in a difficult situation, but it is not one that cannot be overcome. The water that they are in will not drown them, but rather set them free. It may seem like the situation they are in is inescapable and unforgiving, but it is not. They have been praying for a remedy, and this water is the answer to their prayers.
Overall, "Drown" is a song about hope and overcoming hardships. It is about not letting our mistakes and regrets define us, and instead learning from them and moving forward. The water is a symbol of this hope and freedom, and by embracing it, we can overcome anything.
