Drowning
PREVIEW Armin van Buuren ft Laura V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is at my feet and it's no wonder
Your eyes speak to me, they tell me be calm
They tell me be strong
Swimming out so deep, now I can't breathe
And it's exactly where I belong
'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
Let the waves come crashing down
'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love
Love, it's taking over
There's no in between to offer me some cover (oh-oh)
The tide is coming, I don't know if I can take it
I lose my focus, lose my focus
With every breath I feel my inhibition breaking
I can't control it (no-no-no)
'Cause it feels like the ride of a lifetime
And nothing is gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down
'Cause it feels like I'm right for the first time
And every time I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I'm drowning in your love

The singer is being pulled into the deep end of the pool, and they are overwhelmed but also exhilarated by the experience. They feel like they are drowning in love, but they are willing to take the risk because it feels like the ride of a lifetime.
The lyrics are full of water imagery, which adds to the feeling of drowning. The rush of love is like a tidal wave, and the singer can't escape its power. The eyes of their lover offer some comfort, urging them to be calm and strong, but ultimately the singer knows that nothing can save them from the intensity of their emotions.
The chorus is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "it feels like the ride of a lifetime." This emphasizes the idea that even though the singer feels like they are drowning, they are also experiencing something incredible and unforgettable.
Overall, "Drowning" is a song about the dizzying highs and lows of love, and the willingness to take risks even when it feels like you're in over your head.
