Drown
Hearts and Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drag them out by their feet
Drown the witches
Tie them up never leave
Watch them sink into the deep
The lyrics to Hearts and Daggers' "Drown" may seem disturbing at first glance, but a closer look reveals a metaphorical message about letting go of negative influences in our lives. The reference to witches may represent harmful thoughts or people who hold us back or bring us down. By saying "find the witches in their sleep, drag them out by their feet", the song is suggesting that we should confront and actively remove these negative influences from our lives.
The line "drown the witches, tie them up never leave, watch them sink into the deep" further emphasizes the idea of letting go and moving on from these influences. By drowning them, we are releasing ourselves from their grasp and allowing ourselves to move forward without them. While it may seem harsh or extreme, the message is clear - holding onto negativity will only weigh us down.
Overall, "Drown" is a powerful reminder to take control of our own lives and let go of anything or anyone that does not serve our best interests.

What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead.
Got a hole in my soul, growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own. Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.

The comments section is filled with 3 types of idiots:
1. The idiots who trash on their older stuff and say it's just "noise"
2. The idiots who trash on their newer stuff and say this is "too soft"
3. The idiots who contradict themselves way too much by saying stuff like "they're a band, they can do whatever they want, but I'm not liking this new style"
Let me make this clear
1. BMTH were a different genre when they made Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season, everything after that has been melodic hardcore or something like that, not deathcore, you can't expect them to stick to their old style if they're not even in that genre anymore
2. Just because this song's softer than their Sempiternal stuff doesn't mean its rubbish, it's still lyrically one of the best songs they've ever made, and if all you care about is how it sounds, I'm sorry, you need to be listening to stuff like Justin Bieber and One Direction, not Bring Me The Horizon
3. No band has stuck with the style they started off with, people grow up, and naturally probably ditch their old styles because they're either bored of it or they can't do it anymore because they've finally gotten over the crazy drugs they used to do at that time

calma ae primou, ouve aĂ a chelsea smile e vĂȘ a letra man...
todos nós carregamos essas coisas onde ninguem mais pode ver, eles nos seguram como ancoras, eles nos afogam no mar. eu olho para o céu pode não ter nada la pra ver mas se eu não acredito nele, por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim?

Drown âą Portuguese Version
O que nĂŁo te matou te faz querer morrer
HĂĄ um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu nĂŁo aguento
Mais um momento de silĂȘncio
A solidĂŁo vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo Ă© difĂcil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
NĂŁo estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, nĂŁo me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, nĂŁo me deixe afogar!
O que nĂŁo te destruiu, nĂŁo te deixa viver
HĂĄ um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu nĂŁo aguento
Mais um momento de silĂȘncio
A solidĂŁo vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo Ă© difĂcil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
NĂŁo estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, nĂŁo me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, nĂŁo me deixe afogar!
Porque eu nĂŁo sou nada sem vocĂȘ
