Drown
Days of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning day
Sorry I'm not there
But all my favorite friends
Vanished, in the air
It's hard to fly when you can't even run
Once I had the world, but now I've got no one

If I needed someone to control me
If I need someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I,
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction and save myself before I, drown

Good morning day
Sorry you're not here
But all those times before
Were never this unclear
It's hard to walk when you can't even crawl
Once I had this world, but now I've lost it all

If I needed someone to control me
If I need someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction and save myself before I

Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing

If I needed someone to control me
If I need someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me




If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction before I, drown

Overall Meaning

Days of Grace's song "Drown" is a song about the struggles one goes through when they feel like they've lost everything. The song's lyrics describe the feeling of being alone and isolated without any friends or support. The song opens with the singer apologizing for not being there, but mentions that all of their favorite friends have vanished into thin air. This creates a sense of loneliness that is pervasive throughout the entire song.


The singer then talks about how hard it is to "fly" when you can't even "run", which is likely a metaphor for how it is difficult to progress when you're in a state of despair. The chorus of the song talks about how the singer would change their direction and save themselves before they drown if they needed someone to control them, hold them down, or push them around.


The second verse of the song starts off with the same line as the first verse, "Good morning day sorry you're not here", but this time the tone is different. Instead of being apologetic, the singer is expressing their disappointment in the situation. The verse then goes on to talk about how it's hard to walk when you can't even crawl and how they've lost everything they used to have. The chorus of the song repeats, "If I needed someone to control me/ If I needed someone to push me around/ I would change my direction before I, drown."


Overall, "Drown" can be interpreted as a motivational and uplifting song that inspires people to change their direction before it's too late.

Good morning day
Sorry I’m not there
But all my favourite friends
Vanished in the air
It’s hard to fly when you can’t even run
Once I had the world, but now I’ve got no one

If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
And save myself before I drown….drown

Good morning day
Sorry you’re not here
All those times before
We’re never this unclear
It’s hard to walk when you can’t even crawl
Once I had this world, but now I’ve lost it all

If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
And save myself before I drown

Rolling faster than I’m breathing
Drown
Rolling faster than I’m breathing
Drown
Rolling faster than I’m breathing

If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
(Save myself before I drown, save myself before I drown, save myself before I drown)

Three Days Grace - Drown - Lyrics

Good morning day
Sorry I'm not there
But all my favorite friends
Vanished, in the air
It's hard to fly when you can't even run
Once I had the world, but now I've got no one

If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction and save myself before I, drown

Good morning day
Sorry you're not here
But all those times before
Were never this unclear
It's hard to walk when you can't even crawl
Once I had this world, but now I've lost it all

If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction and save myself before I

Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing

If I needed someone to control me
If I need someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
And save myself before I
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction before I, drown

Where Adam sings "it's hard to walk, when you can't even crawl" my friend genuinely thought it said "it's hard to rock, when you can't even roll" and I can't unhear it now

Your Mums Co-Worker

@Caylei you didn't mishear, you were listening to an early copy. They had to change that line for the clean version.

Leeroy
