Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems to happen all the time
You tantalize me. Always use me just to get the things you want
You never loved me, and I think you know how much I liked it
Drown me in nightmares and never let me breathe
Restrain me. Dear, kiss me and help me to believe
That you are my handler. My savior to be
Drown me in nightmares. Drown me and lever let me breathe
See the joy in how you're hurting me
You tantalize me. Always use me just to get the things you want
You never loved me, and I think you know how much I liked it
Drown me in nightmares and never let me breathe
Restrain me. Dear, kiss me and help me to believe
That you are my handler. My savior to be
Drown me in nightmares. Drown me and lever let me breathe
The lyrics of I.N.C.H's "Drown" can be interpreted as a warning about the dangerous consequences of giving into obsessive love. The singer is inviting their lover to give themselves up completely to love, to let it consume them to the point of drowning. It's a seductive but ultimately dark message. The repeated lyric "I'm waiting for you to drown in my love" suggests that the singer is both eager and patient, waiting for their lover to lose themselves to the passion that the singer offers.
The urgency in the lyrics becomes apparent in the second verse, where the singer describes the lover's laughter turning into tears, and the end getting near. It's clear that the singer is pushing their lover to the brink of emotional breakdown, tearing their heart apart and violating them in the most sensual way. This is not healthy love, but rather an obsession that will ultimately lead to destruction.
Overall, "Drown" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting passion turn into obsession. The lyrics suggest that true love should be nurturing and supportive, not a force that consumes and destroys.
