Slow drain
Exies The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love found me lost
But then I'm thankful, thankful righting the wrongs forgotten
Blessings, blessings down on my knees
My soul is endless, endless and I'm so relieved
But if you must be concerned
[Chorus: x2]
I'm on my way back down
But if you must be concerned I'm
On a slow drain as you watch me burn, slow drain,
Yes I'm wasted, wasted end of my rope
But then I'm brain dead, brain dead
You make me choke new
Colic baby, baby kicks and it screams
My soul is endless, endless and I'm so relieved but if you
Must be concerned
In "Slow Drain," the Exies describe a feeling of loss and hopelessness. The singer feels nameless and lost, but is thankful for the opportunity to right past wrongs. Despite this, the singer feels like they are on a slow drain as they burn out and spiral downwards. They feel wasted and at the end of their rope, almost brain dead and unable to cope with the world around them.
The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and despair. The use of metaphors such as a "slow drain" and being "wasted" paint a picture of someone struggling to stay afloat. The line "you watch me burn" suggests that the singer feels as though others are watching them fail and are unable to offer any help. However, the singer acknowledges their endless soul and the little bit of relief that it provides them.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is on a slow drain, slowly emptying out and fading away. Despite this, they ask that people not worry about them. It's a contradiction between wanting help and not wanting to burden others with one's problems. It's an emotional and powerful song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, alone, and on the brink of despair.
