Drown
Citizen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bury myself on a winter night.
I'll let you do the things you want to,
I'd rather die alone if I have to.
If you don't mind I think I'll stay at home tonight,
My resolution says the things that I've been trying to,
That I'm dying to.
Take my life,
Sit alone and drown again.
I'd like to take you up for taking me down.
And I'd love to kill the mood to stay in solitude.
So shut my eyes,
Take my life,
Sit alone and drown again.
The lyrics to Citizen's song "Drown" depict a difficult relationship between two individuals, where the singer seems to be at the end of their rope. The first verse suggests that the singer is willing to isolate themselves from their partner, even going so far as to sleep outside in the bitter cold, in order to avoid conflict. They express a desire to die alone rather than continue living in this turmoil. The second verse continues with this theme, as the singer resolves to stay at home and focus on themselves instead.
The chorus of the song drives home this sense of desperation, as the singer seems resigned to their fate of being emotionally consumed by their partner. The repeated line "Sit alone and drown again" conveys a sense of suffocation and helplessness, as if the singer is unable to escape the toxic relationship no matter how hard they try.
Overall, "Drown" is a stark portrayal of a relationship at its breaking point. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has lost hope and is struggling to find a way out of their current situation. It's a powerful and relatable message for anyone who has found themselves stuck in a similar situation.

Not only is this song good, but it shows excellent promise for the band. People don't realize how young these guys are. Big things will come if they stick together. And their live shows are off the chain.
