Drown
Get Scared Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I free or am I just lost
In a thousand waves deep in the ocean, ocean, ocean?
Should I drown myself now?
Did you crash on me? I know you're over thinking things
But I need this, need this, need this from you so bad now

I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in
Drown me out
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Through the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out

Is it me or are you the same as the weather?
It makes me uneasy knowing, knowing
How unpredictable you can be

I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in

Drown me out
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Though the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out
Drown me out, just drown me out
Drown me out

Am I willing to make it, willing to make up my mind?
This decision is everything, everything
Am I willing to fake it, willing to fake my whole life?
This is decision is everything, everything

And you know, you know
This takes the life from me
Takes the life from me
Life from me

And you know, you know
This takes the life from me
Takes the life of me
Life from me

I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in

Drown me out
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Though the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out
Drown me out (just drown me out)




Drown me now
Just drown me out
