After many auditions, Mike and Nick finally found Antonio and DJ to complete the band. The album was finished in only a few months after that. After only 8 short months of the cover gig grind, and the luck of a few investors, FG has finally recorded their self-titled album at Satellite Studios. Performing shows such as live on KPRC channel 2, and the Harley Davidson wounded warrior fundraiser, FG is quickly making their way to the top. Some call their sound a mix between Theory of a dead man / Nickelback, but more unique than both. Thriving on their passion for modern rock, FG shows creativity like no other. Their new album consist of “groovy melodic” music, as well as that “Floor it down the interstate” sound. Currently, FG is already a few songs in on their 2nd album. Committed like no other, Mike, Nick, Antonio, and DJ dedicate every moment towards working together to become the serenity you would hear standing in the eye of a hurricane.

Band Members:
(Mike Donnell - Vocals & Guitar)
(Nick Drake - Lead Guitar)
(José Antonio [Pico] Cisneros - Drums)
(Dj Yackley - Bass)

Drown
Fighting Gemini Lyrics

V1
Yea I got the hint when you decided you would leave me all alone,
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I'm not scared,
Would it be a factor if I said I wanted you here all along?
Wouldn't matter anyway, cuz you weren't there,
There always seemed to be something else,

CH

When I got the courage to jump in, you'd come on over and you drag me to the deep end,
Knowing I can't swim,
When I start to feel I may get out, I'd lose my breath and you pull me down,
Whooaaa Why, do I always drown

V2
With every single day I was continuously drifting far away,
Until we became a world apart,
I try to do my best to hide it right behind my open eyes, but it's kind of hard,
To hide a broken heart,
There's always gonna be something else,

CH
When I got the courage to jump in, you'd come on over and you drag me to the deep end,
Knowing I can't swim,
When I start to feel I may get out, I'd lose my breath and you pull me down,
Whooaaa Why, do I always drown

Bridge
Drown, Like a little kid stuck beneath a waterfall,

Try to breathe it in, blow it out, suddenly I figure out you're the one who's holding me down,
Yea I know you wanna believe, but all I wanna do I just breathe---

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fighting Gemini's song "Drown" tell a story of a person who is continuously dragged down by someone who they love but who ultimately pushes them away. The first verse sets the scene of the person realizing that they have been left alone, but they try to convince themselves that they are not scared. They question whether things would be different if the other person had stayed, but ultimately realize that it does not matter because that person is not there. The chorus then highlights the dynamic of the two individuals, with the singer attempting to take control and jump into the water, but the other person always bringing them back to the deep end and causing them to drown. The second verse discusses the isolation and heartbreak the singer experiences as they drift further away from the other person, but they try to hide their pain. However, the other person always manages to find a way to hurt them again.

The bridge then discusses the feeling of being stuck beneath a waterfall, struggling to breathe and realizing that it is the other person who is holding them down. The singer acknowledges that the other person may not want to believe that they are the cause of their suffering, but all they want to do is find a way to breathe and survive.

Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of desperation and heartbreak as the singer tries to navigate their relationship with someone who brings them both joy and pain.

Line by Line Meaning

Yea I got the hint when you decided you would leave me all alone,
I knew you were leaving me when you started acting distant.

Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I'm not scared,
I am not afraid to be alone.

Would it be a factor if I said I wanted you here all along?
Would it change anything if I admitted that I wanted you to stay?

Wouldn't matter anyway, cuz you weren't there,
It doesn't matter because you were not there.

There always seemed to be something else,
There was always some other reason why things didn't work out.

When I got the courage to jump in, you'd come on over and you drag me to the deep end,
Whenever I felt ready to take a chance, you would push me too far too fast.

Knowing I can't swim,
You knew I was not capable of handling what you were throwing at me.

When I start to feel I may get out, I'd lose my breath and you pull me down,
Whenever I felt like I could make it on my own, you would bring me back down and hold me back.

With every single day I was continuously drifting far away,
Every day, I felt like we were growing further apart.

Until we became a world apart,
We ended up living separate lives, not knowing what was going on with each other.

I try to do my best to hide it right behind my open eyes, but it's kind of hard,
I try to keep my pain hidden, but it is difficult when it is so obvious.

To hide a broken heart,
It is hard to pretend like I am okay when my heart is broken.

Drown, Like a little kid stuck beneath a waterfall,
I feel trapped and helpless, like a child drowning beneath a waterfall.

Try to breathe it in, blow it out, suddenly I figure out you're the one who's holding me down,
Even when I try to stay afloat, I realize that you are the one who is keeping me from moving on.

Yea I know you wanna believe, but all I wanna do I just breathe
You may want to believe that things can work out between us, but all I want is to be able to breathe and move on.
