Drown
Hush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that we've made it
we still end up losing somehow
we found our way through this tragic old maze till now
does love make us unbreakable, unmistakable
or more fragile than we've ever been before

We could drown in these waters
we could lose this life

Why is it the closer we get
the deeper this dangerous sea
drifting on this raft that we built
still clinging on to a dream
does love make us unsinkable and immortal
or more fragile than we've ever been before

We could drown in these waters
we could lose this life

Holding on to you, holding on to me
Chorus




Holding on to you, holding on
holding on to you

Overall Meaning

In the song "Drown" by Hush, the singer speaks about the complexities of being in love. He talks about the emotional turmoil that comes with love and how it can make us feel both invincible and vulnerable at the same time. Despite overcoming obstacles together, the singer notes that even when two people have made it through tough situations, they still end up losing somehow. He questions whether the love they have makes them unbreakable or more fragile than before.


The lyrics depict the idea of being lost in the depths of the ocean, where the closer we get to love, the deeper and more dangerous it becomes. However, the singer also views love as an anchor in life, and they can find solace in each other. The line "drifting on this raft that we built" hints at how two people in love can create and rely on each other for emotional stability.


The chorus repeats the phrase "holding on to you," emphasizing the idea of not letting go of love, even if it could lead to drowning. Love is seen as a force powerful enough to create and destroy, but at the same time, it's the glue that holds things together.


The song is an apt representation of how love can be both beautiful and destructive. It is a powerful force that can make a person feel invincible while also leaving them vulnerable. The song is bittersweet and sentimental, and it captures the delicate balance of love exceptionally well.
