Drown
D-Sturb Warface Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I come, come to you in the very clothes
That I killed, killed you in and now I know I'm alone
I walk to you, rain falls from you
Can you wash me, can you drown me?

I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
I wanna be stronger, too long I've sat here undecidedly
Planning strategy, half of me know it's all just a fallacy
Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
Into a wall I've hit a hundred times before
And yet I still ignore the dark red blood stains on the floor
And I'm back in front of you, Lord, with the blood on the floor
Is the blood mine or yours? Don't wanna do this anymore
Back and forth between me and me and who you call me to be
You see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key
To a door but he can't 'cause he's poor and he can't
Fall down anymore 'cause he's already on the floor
And his heart is broken and all and this is his scar
But it's warm from crying 'cause he will try nine times
To realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives
So he picks himself up and keeps climbing for the prize again

Here I come again to you
Just to show the blood soaked through
Through my bones and all I own
Is there a way for me to grow?
I walk to you, rain falls from you
Can you wash me, can you drown me, please?

Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision
My crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission
It's taking a toll on my soul, I'm screaming submission and
I don't know if I am dying or living
'Cause I will save a face for name's sake
Abuse grace, take a aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
And my name became a new destiny to the grave and
They say the ocean's blue but it's black right now
In the dark, on the sand, looking out at my crowd
Depression and drowning singing now the full parts
A lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts
I've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win
But it's hard for me to see where ocean stops, and where sky begins




A random strike of light reminds me of what is true
But right now the ocean is black and black the sky is too

Overall Meaning

In "Drown" by D-Sturb Warface, the lyrics reflect a person who is struggling with their inner demons, constantly battling between their ambition and their conscience. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the clothes that he has killed someone in, and now he is alone, walking towards the rain, asking if it can wash him or drown him. The rain falling from the sky could symbolize the person's emotional turmoil and their need for redemption. The singer wants to be many things, but he's not sure what to do, and he feels like he's failing miserably. The line "back and forth between me and me and who you call me to be," shows that the person is also struggling with their identity and purpose. They feel stuck and unable to move forward, but they keep trying.


Later in the song, the person's selfish ambitions are taking a toll on their soul, and they feel like they're screaming for submission. They're not sure if their actions will lead to their death or if they're even living. The line "But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same" could refer to the singer's guilt and how he feels like he's lost his identity. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, where the singer asks if the rain can wash him or drown him, trying to escape his current reality.

@magnusstenford693

Tbh I don't care if it is with or without a bloody climax. Raw is raw and when two DJ's like these come together I am more focussed on the anti's which like in Open your Eyes are again absolutely massive. Good job D-Sturb and Warface!!

@Axelade

Exactly this.

@Cryn09

you can never satisfy any of these kids, if they don't like the song simply skip it, or make your own edit

@lordjashin7215

D-Sturb, El futuro del rawstyle! ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ
