Let's spend some time
You know it's mine
Don't say you want me if you really don't
All in your feelings I'm all in my zone
Here for a moment the next one I'm gone
You say that you love me but I swear that you're a liar
Fucking till we're numb and we're only getting higher
I been moving cities like the last 4 weeks
Drowning in a bottle I've been crying for weeks
You don't gotta tell me yeah I know I'm so weak
I swear
I been moving cities like the last 4 weeks
Haven't lived a minute I've been dying slowly
I know that I'll regret it but promise you won't leave
I swear
You say that you love me but I swear that you're a liar
Fucking till we're numb and we're only getting higher
This only feels good if we do it every night
Don't say you want me if you really don't
All in your feelings I'm all in my zone
Here for a moment the next one I'm gone
I been moving cities like the last 4 weeks
Drowning in a bottle I've been crying for weeks
You don't gotta tell me yeah I know I'm so weak
I swear
I been moving cities like the last 4 weeks
Haven't lived a minute I've been dying slowly
I know that I'll regret it but promise you won't leave
I swear
Fucking till we're numb
We're numb
We're numb
We're numb
The song "Drowning" by Dxvn. is a melancholic exploration of fleeting romance and self-destructive behavior. The song opens with an invitation to spend time together, with the suggestion that the singer and their partner are caught up in a cycle of passion and numbness. The singer acknowledges their own weakness, having been moving from city to city and relying on alcohol to cope with the pain of their situation. The chorus repeats the idea that the physical intimacy between them only feels good if it's repeated every night, suggesting that this temporary escape is the only way they know how to cope with their emotional issues.
The second verse portrays a sense of hopelessness in the situation, with the singer feeling like they're slowly dying and yet unable to make a lasting change. They know that they'll regret their actions, but they're also afraid of being abandoned by their partner. The repeated line "I swear" throughout the song adds to the sense of desperation, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that everything will be okay.
Overall, the song seems to be a lament for a relationship that is doomed to failure, with the characters caught in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. While the exact circumstances of their situation are left open to interpretation, the message of the song is clear - sometimes, love and passion can be just as destructive as they are exhilarating.

Let's spend some time
Let's make an effort to be together
You know it's mine
You know that I belong to you
Don't say you want me if you really don't
Don't lead me on if you don't truly desire me
All in your feelings I'm all in my zone
You are emotionally invested and I am caught up in myself
Here for a moment the next one I'm gone
I won't stick around for long
You say that you love me but I swear that you're a liar
You claim to love me but I don't believe you
Fucking till we're numb and we're only getting higher
We engage in mindless sex as a form of escapism
This only feels good if we do it every night
The only time we feel good is when we engage in destructive behaviors
I been moving cities like the last 4 weeks
I've been traveling frequently for the past month
Drowning in a bottle I've been crying for weeks
I've been drowning my sorrows in alcohol and crying for weeks
You don't gotta tell me yeah I know I'm so weak
I am aware of my own weakness, you don't need to remind me
I swear
I'm telling the truth
Haven't lived a minute I've been dying slowly
I haven't truly lived, I'm just going through the motions and slowly deteriorating
I know that I'll regret it but promise you won't leave
I know I'll regret my actions, but please don't abandon me
Fucking till we're numb
We use sex as a means of emotional detachment
We're numb
We are emotionally numb and detached from reality
