Drown
Rasti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay on the ground
Try to listen to the sound
This pretty town
Doesn′t make me feel a thing
Know what I mean?
Always waiting for the spring
Just let me breathe
Your mom said
To try more
But mom's dead
And you′re poor
The projects
The seventy doors
Can't solve it
There's too many floors
There′s too many floors to know
(Know, know)
Sun is down
Time to drown
What′s this all about?
Hate the sounds
Don't trust the ground
What′s allowed?
Someone pull me out
Pull me out
I know, I know
That you can't make deals with time
Can try and cry and sigh
But the nights will go on by
Bye
I′m toxic, I like war
Psychotic corridors
Aye, rubber rooms
Another tomb
Somebody's doomed
It′s funny too
(No, no, no, no, no!)
Sun is down
Time to drown
What's this all about?
Hate the sounds
Don't trust the ground
What′s allowed?
Someone pull me out
Pull me out
Sun is down
Time to drown
What′s this all about?
Hate the sounds
Don't trust the ground
What′s allowed?
Someone pull me out
Pull me out
The lyrics of Rasti's song "Drown" seem to convey a sense of despair and frustration with life.

The singer feels indifferent and unaffected by their environment, longing for something more meaningful.
The mention of the singer's deceased mother and their financial struggles in the lines "Your mom said, To try more, But mom's dead, And you're poor" reflects a deep sense of loss and hardship. The reference to "the projects" and "seventy doors" implies a difficult living situation, where solutions seem elusive and numerous obstacles stand in the way of progress. There is a feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed, as symbolized by the "too many floors."
The phrase "Sun is down, Time to drown" expresses a desire to escape and submerge oneself in a state of oblivion. The singer questions the purpose of it all and expresses a dislike for the sounds and uncertainties of life. They feel a lack of trust in the stability of their surroundings, searching for someone to rescue them from this suffocating state. The repetition of "pull me out" emphasizes a plea for help and relief from their current circumstances.
The line "I'm toxic, I like war, Psychotic corridors" suggests a self-destructive mindset and a fascination with chaos and despair. The singer may feel consumed by negative emotions, finding comfort in the turmoil. The mention of "rubber rooms" and "another tomb" adds to the sense of confinement and impending doom.
Overall, the lyrics of "Drown" convey a sense of hopelessness, longing for escape, and a deep dissatisfaction with life. The song touches on themes of loss, struggle, and the search for meaning amidst despair.
