Drown
Mule Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Took a bottle of wine
And a roll of the dice
To get to where I’m going,
I’ve gambled my life
So I’ll pop another pill
And die another day
Try to beat the devil
Too little, too late

And I can’t live on
Like this
I try to drown my sorrows
But damn if they swim
I’ll throw all my money
Right up through my nose
Straight into the brain
That’s how this story goes
It’s like I live
Through the worst of all bad dreams
No matter how I try
Can’t forget anything
And I can’t live on
Like this
I try to drown my sorrows
But damn if they swim
And I can’t live on
Like this

I try to drown my sorrows
But damn if they swim

Line by Line Meaning

Took a bottle of wine
I resorted to drinking a bottle of wine

And a roll of the dice
I relied on chance and took a gamble

To get to where I’m going,
To achieve my goal

I’ve gambled my life
I risked everything I had

So I’ll pop another pill
I'll take more pills

And die another day
Hoping to survive one more day

Try to beat the devil
I'll try to overcome my inner demons

Too little, too late
But it may be too late for redemption

And I can’t live on
I can't continue living

Like this
In this miserable state

I try to drown my sorrows
I seek to forget my problems in alcohol
