Drag Me Under
Souvenirs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will he count it as suicide ad not let me into the light?
I care enough, enough to breathe.
But beyond that don't bother me.
Drag me under.
Drag me under the water.
Will god notice if I don't try and keep ties?
Will he count me a stoic and think I'm too good for his light.
I care enough to breathe, why can't you leave it?
The lyrics of Drag Me Under by Souvenirs showcase the internal struggle of an individual contemplating their existence and worth. The lyrics start with a question - will God notice if I don't try and save my life? - this implies that the person is in a dark place in his life and thinks there is no point in carrying on. As they wonder if they should keep living, they question if their decision to not save themselves would count as suicide and if God would deny them entry into the afterlife.
In the second verse, the person questions if maintaining relationships and ties would matter in the grander scheme of things. They believe that if they come off as stoic, God might think they are too good for his light. The lyrics 'I care enough to breathe, why can't you let me be?' and 'I care enough to breathe, why can't you leave it?' reflect that the person just wants to exist without any expectations or judgment placed upon them.
In summary, the song is about the feeling of hopelessness and the futility of life. The lyrics delve deeper into the meaning of existence and life after death.
