Drowning
Jesus On Extasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vanishes in just one moment
We can try to hold it
But it runs through our hands
All the beauty in this world
Slowly runs and fades away
We can try to keep young
But we can't fight time
But I believed that you're for real
I never knew how it would feel
I was drowning in the sky
Your lips were orchids i was high
The clouds were smiling at me
And suddenly I saw the light
I was drowning in your love
But suddenly it gets so tough
the pills could push the pain away
But there's no pill to make you stay
Everything honest in this world
Dies from the moment it was born
I'm the father of all lies
You better not trust
But I believed that you're for real
I never knew how it would feel
I was drowning in the sky
Your Lips were orchids I was high
The clouds were smiling at me
And suddenly I saw the light
I was drowning in your love
But suddenly it gets so tough
the pills could push the pain away
But there's no pill to make you stay
I was drowning in the sky
Your Lips were orchids i was high
The clouds were smiling at me
And suddenly I saw the light
I was drowning in your love
But suddenly it gets so tough
the pills could push the pain away
But there's no pill to make you stay
The lyrics to Jesus On Extasy's song "Drowning" seem to be conveying a sense of loss and disappointment. The singer is acknowledging that everything beautiful, honest, and perfect in this world eventually fades away. They also express a sense of betrayal, acknowledging that they are the "father of all lies" and warning the listener not to trust them. However, despite all of this, there is still a longing for connection and love. The singer is drowning in their love for someone, but it is a love that eventually becomes painful as they realize that they can't make the other person stay. The metaphor of drowning is particularly interesting, as it suggests a sense of being overwhelmed and helpless, as if the singer is being carried away by their emotions and unable to control them.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that they are about the fleeting nature of love and relationships. The singer is acknowledging that even the most beautiful and perfect love can eventually fade away or be lost. They also seem to be expressing a sense of regret or guilt, perhaps implying that they have contributed to the breakdown of a relationship in some way. However, despite all of the negativity, there is still a sense of hope and longing that comes through in the lyrics. The singer is still willing to express their feelings and try to connect with someone, even if it ultimately leads to pain or disappointment.
Overall, the lyrics to "Drowning" are quite evocative and powerful, conveying a sense of emotional intensity and complexity that is characteristic of much of Jesus On Extasy's work.
