Drown
Kevin T. Shedaker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No I can not do this
I was foolish and blind
No I've been so stupid
I didn't know it that time
You don't want my heart
Don't want my soul huh
You don't want it all
I lose control huh
The ocean drowns in frust instead
I'm falling down in emtiness
A hundred crows will find me dead
I'm burried down to suffer less
I can not stay here
But I do fear to let go
No why should I stay here
Only spend tears on you
Betrail behind behind my back
It feels like a broken neck
My friends they lied, constant throwback
It hurts a way I've never met
You don't want my heart
Don't want my soul huh
You don't want it all
I lose control huh
The ocean drowns in frust instead
I'm falling down in emtiness
A hundred crows will find me dead
I'm burried down to suffer less
I can not do this
I was foolish and blind
No I've been so stupid
I didn't know it that time
You don't want my heart
Don't want my soul oh no
You don't want it all
I lose control oh no
You don't want my heart
Don't want my soul huh
You don't want it all
I lose control huh
The ocean drowns in frust instead
I'm falling down in emtiness




A hundred crows will find me dead
I'm burried down to suffer less

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the songwriter expresses a sense of regret and realization of their own foolishness and blindness in a relationship. They acknowledge that they have been acting stupid and didn't realize it at the time. The person they are addressing does not want their heart or soul, as they feel a lack of reciprocation and control in the relationship. The imagery of drowning in frustration and falling into emptiness reflects the emotional turmoil they are experiencing.


The mention of a hundred crows finding them dead and being buried down to suffer less suggests a feeling of being overwhelmed by pain and the desire to escape from the situation they find themselves in. The songwriter feels trapped and unable to stay in the relationship, but at the same time, they fear letting go. This conflict between wanting to leave but also struggling to detach themselves emotionally is evident.


The lyrics also touch on a sense of betrayal, with the songwriter feeling that their friends have lied to them and thrown them back into a difficult situation. This deep level of hurt is described as feeling like a broken neck, emphasizing the severity of the emotional pain experienced.


Overall, these lyrics convey a profound sense of disappointment, regret, and feeling unvalued in a relationship. The songwriter feels as though they have lost control and are drowning in their emotions, leading them to question why they should continue to invest tears and effort into someone who doesn't want their heart and soul.

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.



@LoganSLRLockwood

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 aí a chelsea smile e vê 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 • Portuguese Version

O que não te matou te faz querer morrer
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento

Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar

Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem

Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!

O que não te destruiu, não te deixa viver
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar

Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem

Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!

Porque eu não sou nada sem você

I’m so incredibly proud of you. This was my crying song when life was shit but I know one day I would come back to it again and be able to connect to it in a different way. I haven’t watched or heard this song in almost a year or so and this your comment made me incredibly happy. I too can finally relate to it just like you. I’m so proud of you.
