Silence The Messenger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I will burn the bridge that leads to you
But what you're missing is misery,
And I can't wait 'til your world is destroyed.
You've gone too far,
Now I'm surviving harsh reality while you're just living a lie.
We've resurrected the truth, but is it too late?
Oh what a beautiful day
When you finally come to your senses.
(I've been defined by)
By circumstance but not by choice
And now I've become the abandoned.
And when I reach for the surface, you turn away.
So here I am I've been waiting.
I've waited for you to see that nothing has changed.
I can't believe what's been left for me,
I'm plagued with thoughts of regret.
Now, I will be, I'll be too far gone.
There's no turning back.
So in the end, in the end you'll see.
You're just like, just like drowning.
Now I am alone.
Now I'm alone at the top of this mountain.
Now I'm alone at the top of this mountain with no reward, erasing your face...
Slit the throat of what I'll never have, and with it's death comes my release.
The song "Just Like Drowning" by Silence The Messenger is about the end of a toxic relationship. The first verse describes the singer's willingness to sever ties with their partner, even if it means destroying any path that leads to them. The singer recognizes that their partner finds comfort in misery, and they eagerly await their downfall. The second verse reveals that the truth has been revealed, but too late to save the relationship. The singer has realized that they have been defined by their circumstances and become abandoned. Meanwhile, their partner has turned away from them, leaving them alone.
The chorus suggests that despite the singer's efforts to save the relationship, nothing has changed, and their partner is just like drowning. Towards the end, the singer realizes that they are better off alone than being with their toxic partner. They have accepted that there's no turning back and have already moved on from the relationship. The final line "Slit the throat of what I'll never have, and with it's death comes my release" suggests that the singer has let go of any desire they had for the relationship to work out, and they have found peace in moving on.
Overall, "Just Like Drowning" is a powerful song about recognizing the toxicity in a relationship and finding the strength to let go. The lyrics vividly illustrate the emotional turmoil that comes with realizing that a relationship isn't working and the relief that comes with finally letting go.

If we were meant to stand on opposite sides of this river,
If we were always supposed to be separated,
Then I will burn the bridge that leads to you
I will destroy the connection between us
But what you're missing is misery,
You don't understand how hard things are
And I can't wait 'til your world is destroyed.
I can't wait until you realize the truth
You've gone too far,
You've done too much damage
Now I'm surviving harsh reality while you're just living a lie.
I'm facing the truth while you continue to hide
We've resurrected the truth, but is it too late?
We've brought the truth back, but maybe it's too late
Why did you take so long to explain this?
Why did it take so long for you to tell the truth?
Oh what a beautiful day
It will be a happy day
When you finally come to your senses.
When you finally understand the truth
(I've been defined by)
I've been limited by
By circumstance but not by choice
By things out of my control
And now I've become the abandoned.
Now I'm alone
And when I reach for the surface, you turn away.
When I need your help, you ignore me
So here I am I've been waiting.
I've been waiting for you
I've waited for you to see that nothing has changed.
I've been waiting for you to realize things are the same
I can't believe what's been left for me,
I can't accept what's happened
I'm plagued with thoughts of regret.
I'm constantly thinking about what I should have done differently
Now, I will be, I'll be too far gone.
It's too late for me to change things
There's no turning back.
I can't undo what's already been done
So in the end, in the end you'll see.
Eventually you'll understand
You're just like, just like drowning.
You're struggling and sinking
Now I am alone.
Now I'm by myself
Now I'm alone at the top of this mountain.
Now I have achieved my goals, but it's lonely
Now I'm alone at the top of this mountain with no reward, erasing your face...
Now that I've succeeded, I realize it wasn't worth it and I'm forgetting about you
Slit the throat of what I'll never have, and with it's death comes my release.
I let go of something I could never achieve and felt a sense of freedom

This is definitely false dude. Danny has never been in STM. Our old drummer is playing for them now, maybe that's what you meant? Check your sources before posting incorrect info next time.
