drowning.
Eden Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Cause I've been seeing some ghosts
And I′d be lying if I told you, I'm fine, but I lie
Yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I've seen you cry, but I′ve never seen you shout like a hurricane
These shots don′t ricochet
Sight blurred, I'm walkin′ dazed, girl, I'm fucking faded
Oh, I don't know my limits at all
I′m sinking down into my thoughts, oh my God
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, it's just a firefight
And even if it′s not enough
I′ll say it once, I swear, I never lied
But this is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time you'll ever bring me down
But girl, you know I′m drowning
And I keep goin' down
But I′ll swear that I am not, I'm not, I′m not, I'm not
It's friendly fire and sunlight
The aftermath of one too many words I′ve said
When I should′ve said nothing at all, at all
Uh, I gotta stop overthinking and missing what could've been
You were never even really here
But still we are spinning, just liars and cheaters
Right back where we started, but it don′t get easier
I am drowning in liquor, and apathy will be the death of me
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, it′s just a firefight
And even if it's not enough
I′ll say it once, I swear, I never lied
But this is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time you'll ever bring me-
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down (Yeah!)
Down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down (Yeah!)
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down
(The last time, this is the last time)
The lyrics to Eden Project's song "Drowning" suggest a deep sense of despair and a feeling of drowning in one's own sorrows. The song's opening line, "I think I lost my mind a while ago," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which goes on to describe a sense of being lost and overwhelmed. The singer speaks of "seeing some ghosts" and not feeling "fine," but lying about it anyway.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer is in a tumultuous relationship and feeling suffocated by it. The lines "This ain't love, it's just a firefight" and "But girl, you know I'm drowning" imply that the relationship is not healthy but rather a constant battle that is causing the singer to feel as if he is drowning. However, even though he recognizes this, he seems unable to extricate himself from the situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I think I lost my mind a while ago
I feel like I've gone crazy some time back
′Cause I've been seeing some ghosts
I keep seeing things from the past that haunt me
And I′d be lying if I told you, I'm fine, but I lie
Even though I'm lying, I pretend that I'm okay
Yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I have thoughts that I would never express aloud
I've seen you cry, but I′ve never seen you shout like a hurricane
Although I've seen you cry, I haven't seen you shout like a storm
These shots don′t ricochet
Although I'm drinking, it's not making me feel any better
Sight blurred, I'm walkin′ dazed, girl, I'm fucking faded
I'm feeling dizzy, and I'm walking unsteadily, probably due to being drunk
Or maybe wasted, I can′t remember how it happened
Perhaps I'm too drunk to remember what's going on
Oh, I don't know my limits at all
I don't know when to stop drinking
I′m sinking down into my thoughts, oh my God
I'm getting lost in my own negative thoughts
But so what if I drank too much?
I feel like it doesn't matter if I drink too much
This ain't love, it's just a firefight
This isn't love, just a fight we're having
And even if it′s not enough
If what we have isn't enough
I′ll say it once, I swear, I never lied
I promise you that I've never lied
But this is the last time
But this is the last time we'll do this
This is the last time you'll ever bring me down
This is the last time you'll make me feel low or sad
But girl, you know I′m drowning
You know I'm in trouble or struggling
And I keep goin' down
I'm sinking deeper and deeper
But I′ll swear that I am not, I'm not, I′m not, I'm not
But I'll still claim that I'm not struggling, even though I am
It's friendly fire and sunlight
The situation looks good on the surface, but we're actually hurting each other
The aftermath of one too many words I′ve said
The result of saying too much
When I should′ve said nothing at all, at all
When I should have been quiet and not said anything
Uh, I gotta stop overthinking and missing what could've been
I need to stop overthinking and thinking about what could have happened
You were never even really here
You never really existed, you were just a figment of my imagination
But still we are spinning, just liars and cheaters
We're still going around in circles, both lying to each other
Right back where we started, but it don′t get easier
We've gone back to where we began, but it's not getting any easier
I am drowning in liquor, and apathy will be the death of me
I'm drowning in alcohol, and not caring will eventually be my undoing
Down, down, down, down
Sinking deeper and deeper
(The last time, this is the last time)
This is the final time we're doing this

[Verse 1]
I think I lost my mind a while ago
'Cause I've been seeing some ghosts
And I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
But I lie
Yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I've seen you cry, but I've never seen you
Shout like a hurricane
These shots don't ricochet
Sight blurred, I'm walking dazed, girl
I'm fucking faded
Or maybe wasted, I can't remember how it happened
Oh, I don't know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
Oh my God
[Chorus]
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, it's just a firefight
And even if it's not enough
I'll say it once, I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
You'll ever bring me down
But girl, you know I'm drowning
And I keep going down
But I'll swear that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
[Verse 2]
It's friendly fire and sunlight
The aftermath of one too many words I said
When I should've said nothing at all
At all, uh
I gotta stop overthinking and missing what could've been
You were never even really here
But still we are spinning, just liars and cheaters
Right back where we started, but it don't get easier
I am drowning in liquor, and apathy will be the death of me
[Chorus]
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, its just a firefight
And even if its not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
You'll ever bring me down

It's amazing how so many people think like me in so many ways... I love this, thanks Eden.
Stephen and Eden singing together.
"I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout like a hurricane."
Fumed and Drowning are Perfect but all of his songs are perfect...
The instruments damn on point
He's underrated
He writes his soul and love into his music.
We all love him.

I lost the only man I've loved.
It was my fault.
This song just puts it perfectly.
I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout like a hurricane
I'm fucking faded
Or maybe wasted, I can't remember how it happened
Oh I don't know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
Oh my God
And even if it's not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
The aftermath of one too many
Words I said, when I should've said nothing at all
You were never even really here
But still we are spinning
Just liars and cheaters
This is the last time

I believe that the line in question is a quotation from his girlfriend. As supposedly in this song he is meant to be somewhat drunk. So it may represent what his girlfriend said to him when he was drunk
