Draw The Line
Cascada Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tic-toc says the clock on the wall
It tells me everything is wrong, maybe
I lost my dreams long the way
Feels like we're about to fall
Into the shadow I run but lately gravity
Is pulling me back on my feet again

Why don't we say goodbye

Cos' now I know how it feels to live a lie
It's hurting so deep inside
Tell me why, oh its breaking me, its killing me
So why... draw the line (mmm, ohh)

Tic-toc every heart beat drops
Whenever you're around baby
Can't seem to chase those clouds away
There's no escape from it all
Into the shadow I run but lately gravity
Is pulling me back on my feet again

Why don't we say goodbye
Cos' now I know how it feels to live a lie
Oh it's hurting so deep inside
Tell me why, oh it's breaking me, it's killing me
What if we turned around and walk away
Right now.
Would you cry, would you die a little
Oh boy I'm about to say goodbye, say goodbye

Oh why don't we say goodbye
Cos' now I know how it feels to live a lie
Oh it's hurting so deep inside
Tell me why, oh it's breaking me, it's killing me
(why don't we say goodbye,
cos' now i know how it feels to live a lie)
Oh it hurting so deep inside
Tell me why, oh it's breaking me, it's killing me
So why... draw the line,

I draw the line
I draw the line

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cascada's song Draw The Line describe a feeling of being stuck in a situation that is not fulfilling, possibly even toxic. The clock on the wall serves as a reminder of time slipping away and dreams being lost. But despite feeling overwhelmed, the singer knows they need to draw the line and say goodbye to the lie they have been living. The repetition of the phrase "why don't we say goodbye" emphasizes the need for closure and the pain that comes with it. The second verse hints at the presence of another person in the situation who may be causing the heartache. The singer questions what would happen if they turned around and walked away, and the repetition of "why don't we say goodbye" gives the impression that the decision has not been made yet. The final chorus shows a resolve to finally draw the line and say goodbye.

Tic-toc says the clock on the wall
The sound of the ticking clock is a constant reminder that time keeps moving forward

It tells me everything is wrong, maybe
The ominous sound of the clock makes me feel like something is off in my life

I lost my dreams long the way
Somewhere along the journey of life, I seem to have forgotten or lost sight of my dreams

Feels like we're about to fall
I feel like everything is on the brink of collapsing or falling apart

Into the shadow I run but lately gravity
I try to escape my problems by hiding in the shadows, but lately it seems like I'm being pulled back into reality and forced to face them

Is pulling me back on my feet again
Despite my attempts to run away from my problems, I am slowly but surely finding the strength to face them and stand on my own two feet

Why don't we say goodbye
Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye and move on from this situation

Cause now I know how it feels to live a lie
I can't keep pretending that everything is okay and living a lie anymore

It's hurting so deep inside
The pain I'm feeling is deep and intense

Tell me why, oh its breaking me, its killing me
I need someone to explain why this situation is causing me so much pain and torment

So why, draw the line (mm, oh)
It's time for me to set boundaries and draw a line for what I'm willing to tolerate in my life

Tic-toc every heart beat drops
My heart starts to race and sink every time I'm around you

Whenever you're around baby
You are the source of my pain and inner turmoil

Can't seem to chase those clouds away
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to shake off the feeling of sadness and despair

There's no escape from it all
I feel trapped and there seems to be no way out of this situation

What if we turned around and walk away Right now.
Have you ever thought about just leaving and walking away from all of this, right now?

Would you cry, would you die a little
Would this situation have any impact on you? Would you be affected emotionally?

Oh boy I'm about to say goodbye, say goodbye
I've made up my mind and I'm ready to say goodbye and move on

I draw the line
I have set my boundaries and I am no longer willing to tolerate this situation
