Drown
OCEXNS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing my dreams
But my head's up in the clouds
And don't you let me drown
I sold my soul for self-pity and alcohol
Isn't it strange how it comes full circle?
And I, I'm losing what's left of my mind
Am I at my weakest point?
Maybe I should wake up and realise
Maybe I should wake up
And look into your eyes
I'll be alright
I'm feeling like there's no way out
I'm trying to breathe
But the tide keeps pulling me down
Under, under now
Cos I'm longing for the sound
Of rain bouncing off the window pane
Cos and to lose this shit
That's running through my veins
And I, I'm losing what's left of my mind
Am I under the storm?
Am I at my weakest point?
Maybe I should wake up and realise
That I'm losing, losing, losing
I'm losing my mind
That I'm losing, losing, losing
I'm losing my mind
Cos have I lost my fucking mind?
And am I under the storm?
(Am I under, am I under?)
Am I at my weakest point?
(Am I under, am I under?)
Maybe I should wake up and realise
(Am I under, am I under?)
Maybe I should wake up
And look into your eyes
I'll be alright
The lyrics of "Drown" by OCEXNS delve into themes of struggle, self-doubt, and the desire for escape. The first verse sets the tone with the question "Where do we go from here?" implying a sense of uncertainty and confusion. The singer acknowledges that they are losing their dreams, feeling disconnected from reality as their head remains in the clouds. Despite this, they plead with someone not to let them drown, suggesting a desire for support and for someone to keep them afloat.
The second verse reveals a darker side to the singer's emotions, as they confess to having sold their soul to self-pity and alcohol. They reflect on the cyclical nature of this behavior, noting that it is strange how it always comes full circle. It becomes clear that the singer feels like they are losing their sanity, perhaps due to these destructive habits.
In the chorus, the singer questions whether they are currently in the midst of a storm or at their weakest point. This reflects their internal turmoil and vulnerability. They contemplate the idea of waking up and realizing the truth, possibly hinting at a need to confront their own issues and face reality. The line "And look into your eyes, I'll be alright" suggests that finding solace in someone's presence may bring them comfort and reassurance.
The third verse concentrates on the singer's emotional state, expressing a feeling of being trapped and unable to escape their struggles. They describe the sensation of being pulled down by an overwhelming tide, making it challenging for them to breathe. They long for the sound of rain bouncing off the window pane, a symbol of cleansing and renewal. They want to rid themselves of the emotions that torment them and the metaphorical poison running through their veins.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's realization that they are indeed losing their mind. The repetition of the phrase "I'm losing, losing, losing, I'm losing my mind" reinforces their internal battle and the gravity of their mental state. The final questioning of whether they are under the storm and at their weakest point suggests a continued state of uncertainty. However, the closing line "Maybe I should wake up and look into your eyes, I'll be alright" alludes to the potential for finding solace and emotional stability by connecting with another person. It implies that reassurance and support from someone else can provide the strength to overcome their struggles and ultimately be okay.
