Drown
Jessica Jacobs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have I thanked you yet for ripping me apart
Now that I left, would you regurgitate my heart
It seems you swallowed it whole
Yeah, I got a thing with control

Did I give everything back
Can we avoid that phone call
Can you cut me some slack
Take down the pictures from the hall
It must be time to take a bath
Yeah, I gotta think to relax

I think I'll fall asleep
Let the water rush inside of me
I pray that you'll call on me
'Cause I'm way too scared to actually
Drown like I did into you
I can't believe we're really through

Have I thanked you yet for the instant karma
And I got what you get
When you swear you couldn't harm a fly
And you're cheating on your lover
With another guy

I think I'll fall asleep
Let the water rush inside of me
I pray that you'll call on me
'Cause I'm way too scared to actually
Drown like I did into you
No I can't believe it's over
I can't believe it's through

I think I'll fall asleep
Let the water rush inside of me
I pray that you'll call on me
'Cause I'm way too scared to actually




Drown like I did into you
I can't believe we're really through

There are very good explanations for those who care to know he was a dive instructor and was told by all those he asked to film he needed two weeks training to reach that depth 40 meters is max depth of training 44 for rescue training its believed he pulled his mouthpiece because he accepted his fate a diver named Omar he asked the day before dove and pulled him out you can freedive deeper than scuba so I assume he did it as a freedive

Michael Burmudzija

Sad but this could of been avoided. Yuri was a diving instructor you think he would know how to fill his scuba tanks. He had only oxygen in his tanks and for anyone who's wondering once you pass a certain depth you need mixed gases in your tanks. He was definitely suffering from nitrogen narcosis (drunk like state). Once he hit the bottom he knew deep down he was fucked. He probably removed his mouth piece before he died which happens when your in that state thinking you actually on land.

@ghgg10 G people are no longer in their right minds when they get nitrogen narcosis

Michael Burmudzija

@ghgg10 G have you ever been hammered before where you don't remember what you did? It like that under water with nitros narcosis. Look it up on Google and even YouTube. It will explain a lot better.

ghgg10 G

I don't get it why would he removed his mouthpiece why would he think he is on land ?

Jacob Vieira

Everyone knows why he sank, he had on too much gear, none of it quick release, aside from that, his original mission was stupid. Going down to the arch on a single tank. He was told once not to do it, he was told he didnt possess the right equipment or cert for the dive. He did it anyway and payed the ultimate price

Freedom Online

that means his cockiness cost him his life

DJ linkles

The thrashing in the sand at the end may have been a seizure from nitrogen narcosis, his death may not have been drowning but possibly nitrogen narcosis or oxygen toxicity. At those depths pure oxygen which was in his tanks can become highly toxic.

Iowahorse

It's real. He was in the Blue Hole. It's a deathtrap.

Cool

@Mochiiie it is
