Drowning
Cedric Zeyenne feat. Menna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling lost, feeling afraid
Feeling tired of this weight
Feeling empty, feeling wasted
Where are you my friend?
I need you to pull me up again
'Cause I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
Drowning
Feeling broken, feeling ashamed
Feeling useless, feeling pained
Feeling lonely, feeling faded
Where are you my friend?
I need you to pull me up again
'Cause I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
Feeling the waves come rolling in
In closer, in closer
Feeling the tide come chasing me
And faster, and faster
Feeling myself falling in
In deeper, in deeper
Feeling the water washing in
In further, in further
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning
I am drowning




I am drowning
I am drowning

Only found this song after Pandora started digging deep into the archives. So sad this song is so underrated and underplayed. One of the best house songs I’ve heard in a while, and I’ve heard a lot.

@kitsos418

One of the best house songs of 2018-2019!

@mauricecohen23

This guy and his music must be underrated with less thab 1 million views

I m not even into that kind of music and his sounds make me crazy.

Drowning, Feel you and Body language are some serious music hits. they seem to be little known sadly

@marcinczubecki3501

Fully agree, don't know how this could go without echo. 1st time I heard this track is 2020

@Vadim43577

Скоро 2022, а трек актуален как никогда

@co7211
