Cuco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck, what the fuck
Why you leave me on read
I don't like this, fuck
Ahh
If I told you what I'm thinking 'bout
It's hard to say to you but
It's all I think about at night
I need some time away from you
Can't even be in the same room
I think I'm going crazy
Been home and lonely lately
What do you think about me?
Can you fight or will you flee?
Call me, you got my number
Don't let me go yet lover
You're gone, I'm done, I'm all alone
You know, that I know
That you're not coming home
These days, I'm lost, you left me to drown, to drown
Perdido en mi mente y buscando paraíso
But I cannot find that si no estás aquí conmigo
Don't know what you're doing and I don't know who you with
En ruinas reina, sin tú yo aquí me quede
Con mis esperanzas falsas, casi siento que me matan
Regresa conmigo
Amor where did we go?
I need some time away from you
Can't even be in the same room
I think I'm going crazy
Been home and lonely lately
What do you think about me?
Can you fight or will you flee?
Call me, you got my number
Don't let me go yet lover
You're gone, I'm done, I'm all alone
You know, that I know
That you're not coming home
These days, I'm lost, you left me to drown, to drown
Stuck inside my mind I think I've lost it all
Free me from my thoughts, I think I've fallen off
Memories don't return, they seem to melt away
Dreaming of a world where I would wanna stay
You're gone, I'm done, I'm all alone
You know, that I know
That you're not coming home
These days, I'm lost, you left me to drown, to drown
The song "Drown" by Cuco is a heartbreaking ballad about a relationship that has fallen apart. The lyrics are full of vulnerability and despair as the singer tries to come to terms with the end of a relationship they desperately still yearn for. The opening lines express the singer's frustration and confusion as they are being ignored by their partner. The use of profanity highlights the intensity of the emotions being felt. The singer confesses that they need some time alone, indicating that the relationship has become overwhelming and suffocating. However, the loneliness and their deep love for their partner are causing them to slowly fall apart.
The chorus reveals that the singer is drowning in their emotions, and the only thing they can think about is the loss of their partner. The second verse reveals that the singer is lost without their partner and their days have become hopeless. The use of the metaphor "to drown" hints at the overwhelming feeling of helplessness that the singer is experiencing. The third verse sees the singer reminiscing about the past memories with their partner, and the pain of not being able to hold onto those beautiful memories is tearing them apart. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reveals that the singer is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of their partner.
Overall, the song "Drown" is a beautiful and emotional portrait of heartbreak, loneliness, and self-reflection. Cuco's soulful and smooth voice beautifully captures the turmoil of the singer's emotions, and the lyrics are both sincere and deeply felt.
