As I Drown
Revile Lyrics

In Revile's song As I Drown, the lyrics depict a person who is overwhelmed with emotions and feels like they are drowning. The first few lines "Drenched stiff, High tide emotion" suggest a heavy emotional state that feels like they are drowning in their own emotions. The next couple of lines "One to one difference, You make the breeze sway, You make the waves turn" could refer to someone who is important to the singer of the song. The person in question has a strong influence over the singer's emotional states and their actions.

The following lines "They're knocking me over. Drowned in, Water scented hair, One to one difference," reinforce the idea that the singer is unable to control their emotions, and they are being overpowered by them. The singer is finding it difficult to stay afloat in the sea of their emotions, much like how one struggles to stay above the water when drowning. The next line "We kill as we stare" could be interpreted in different ways, but it could mean that there is some sort of tension between the singer and the person they are referring to in the song. The song ends with the line "In my underwater speechless as I drown, Smiling fathoms down", which suggests that the singer is content with their state, and despite being drowned in their emotions, they are still able to find some sort of comfort in it.
