Drop
ESTRONS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill it with love
Kill it with kindness
Kill it with reason
Be more like me
Be like your friends
Be like your mother
Be like your father
Be more like me

When life feels dead
And you've lost your soul
When life feels dead
And you've lost your soul
Pick up the feeling
Then let it drop

Turn off your phone
Turn off your TV
Turn off your feelings
Be more like me
Be like your friends
Be like your mother
Be like your father
Be more like me

When life feels dead
And you've lost your soul
When life feels dead And you've lost your soul
Pick up the feeling Then let it drop

You know better
Pick it up and let it drop

Kill it with love
Kill it with kindness
Kill it with feeling
Be more like me
Be like your mother
Or be like your father
Be like your friends
Be more like me

When life feels dead and you've lost your soul
Ha!
When life feels dead and you've lost your soul
Pick up the feeling

Then let it drop.

Overall Meaning

In ESTRONS's song "Drop," the lyrics speak about societal pressure to conform to a certain image or behavior. The main refrain, "be more like me," represents the pressure we feel to fit in with the people around us, whether that is our family or friends. The lines "kill it with love" and "kill it with kindness" can be interpreted as a way of saying that we try to suppress our individuality through love and kindness by conforming to the expectations of those around us. This can be a dangerous instinct because it leads us to ignore our true feelings and desires.

The song's verses encourage the listener to let go of their feelings and engage in mindless activities like turning off the TV and phone, suggesting that by numbing ourselves to distractions, we can avoid feeling lost or disconnected. However, it is the chorus that really drives home the theme of the song: that to truly connect with ourselves, we need to embrace our uniqueness and let our true feelings surface instead of suppressing them.
