Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
Getting hard to breathe
Really hard to see
Not sure what to do because these demons live in me
Don't know what to say
Baby can you stay?
One of these days I know you gon put me in my grave
After what you did to me I had lost all composure
Not scared to OD, because I'm never sober
Fucked up while I drive Maybe I'll crash the rover
I say I want closure, you tell me it's over
Versace my collar, gevenchi on me
Feet in the sand and we chill by the beach
Sipping the drink and you start to feel me
These thoughts in my head and they make me crazy
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
Part of me or are they all of me?
I was trying to come up but you were stalling me
You tore out my heart and left me falling
Kicked when I was down yeah I was crawling
You don't know what I've been through
I've got nothing to prove
I spoke to the moon
And it led me back to you
Don't give her your heart those are words from my father
She pulled me down deep
Now I'm drowning in water
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
I'm tryna fight my demons and my enemies
It's hard to do when they have become part of me
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?
Small circle keep em close to me
Fighting all them demons and them enemies
Go inside my head now they're part of me
In these lyrics from King's song "Drowning," the artist explores themes of feeling suffocated in a toxic relationship and struggling with internal demons. The repetition of the phrase "How you gonna breathe when you drowning me?" highlights the feeling of being overwhelmed and suffocated by someone else's actions or behavior.
The mention of a "small circle" refers to the people close to the artist, possibly implying that these are the individuals who have betrayed or hurt them. The artist expresses the constant battle they face in trying to fight off these demons and enemies, but they also acknowledge that these negative influences have become a part of them, infiltrating their thoughts and emotions.
Feelings of hopelessness and despair come through in the lyrics. The artist mentions it becoming hard to breathe and see, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of their internal struggles. They express uncertainty and a lack of direction, not knowing what to do because these demons have taken over their mind and soul.
The lyrics also touch upon the consequences of a past relationship. The artist sings about losing control and engaging in reckless behavior, suggesting that they are self-destructive due to the pain caused by their former partner. They mention wanting closure, but the other person dismisses their feelings and announces that the relationship is over.
The imagery of luxury brands like Versace and Givenchy juxtaposed with the phrase "feet in the sand and we chill by the beach" creates a contrast between material wealth and emotional turmoil. It hints at the superficiality of the relationship and the artist's desire for distraction or escape. However, even in these moments of temporary relief, the artist recognizes that the destructive thoughts in their own head continue to torment them.
Towards the end of the lyrics, the artist reveals that they have been through hardships and have nothing to prove to anyone. They mention speaking to the moon, which could symbolize seeking solace or guidance in nature or within themselves. The line "Don't give her your heart, those are words from my father" suggests the artist's realization that they should protect themselves from further harm.
In essence, these lyrics embody the artist's struggle to find peace within themselves while feeling suffocated by external circumstances and internal demons. The song captures the pain, confusion, and desire for release from toxic relationships and self-destructive patterns.
