Drown
My Favourite Nemesis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lead me to a path
I should never cross
You let me drown in you
You let me swallow you whole
You lead me to a path
I should never cross
You're the drug I want
Not the one I need
You make me fucking sick
And I'll drown in it
Just for the hell of it
You make me fucking sick
And I'll drown in it
Just for the hell of it
You feed off me like a parasite
Maybe one day you can make it right
I'm trying, but I can't bleed you out
Feed off the weak, then cast them aside
Enough is enough
Please, choke on your pride
Another year goes by
I know we'll never coincide
Another year goes by
I know we'll never coincide
You feed off me like a parasite
Maybe one day you can make it right
I'm trying, but I can't bleed you out
And I’ll breathe you in right before I drown
right before I drown
One last time, I'll cut you out
Your beauty's on the outside, I see that now
Save your breath, I'm done with you
You never gave a fuck
So fuck you too
You feed off me like a parasite
Maybe one day you can make it right
I'm trying, but I can't bleed you out
And I’ll breathe you in right before I drown




Fuck you too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of My Favourite Nemesis's song "Drown" depict a toxic relationship between two individuals where one of them feeds off the other like a parasite. The person being consumed is aware of the toxicity of the relationship yet continues to pursue it out of their own self-destructive tendencies. The lines, "You're the drug I want, not the one I need" and "You make me fucking sick, and I'll drown in it just for the hell of it" reveal how the person is aware of the destruction caused by the relationship but still chooses to indulge in it.


The chorus of the song, "You feed off me like a parasite, maybe one day you can make it right, I'm trying, but I can't bleed you out, and I'll breathe you in right before I drown" highlights how the person being consumed is trying to break free from the toxic cycle but finds it hard to let go completely. They try to distance themselves from the other person, but they find themselves getting drawn back in. The final lines of the song, "One last time, I'll cut you out, your beauty's on the outside, I see that now, save your breath, I'm done with you, you never gave a fuck, so fuck you too" suggest that the person has decided to cut ties and end the toxic relationship for good.


Line by Line Meaning

You lead me to a path
You are the one who caused me to go down a dangerous route


I should never cross
I knew it was a mistake to follow you, but I did anyway


You let me drown in you
You allowed me to become so involved with you that I was consumed by you


You let me swallow you whole
I allowed myself to be completely consumed by you


You're the drug I want
You are what I crave, even though you are not good for me


Not the one I need
I know I shouldn't want you, but I can't help it


You make me fucking sick
You disgust me


And I'll drown in it
But I'll immerse myself in it anyway


Just for the hell of it
Because I enjoy it, even though it hurts me


You feed off me like a parasite
You take advantage of me and drain me of my energy


Maybe one day you can make it right
Perhaps someday you will see the error of your ways and make things right


I'm trying, but I can't bleed you out
I'm attempting to rid myself of you, but it's proving to be difficult


Feed off the weak, then cast them aside
You take advantage of vulnerable people and then discard them when you're done


Enough is enough
I've had all I can take


Please, choke on your pride
I hope your ego suffocates you


Another year goes by
Time keeps passing, but things aren't getting any better


I know we'll never coincide
We will never see eye to eye or come to an agreement


And I’ll breathe you in right before I drown
I'll cling to you until the very end, even if it leads to my downfall


One last time, I'll cut you out
I'll try to remove you from my life one final time


Your beauty's on the outside, I see that now
Your physical appearance may be attractive, but your true nature is ugly


Save your breath, I'm done with you
Don't bother trying to convince me to stick around, I'm finished with you


You never gave a fuck
You never cared about my feelings or well-being


So fuck you too
I'm done with your bullshit
