Drowning
Suburban Tribe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel all this silence turning into noise
so slowly
It's getting so loud I will miss your voice
pure and holy
And it gets so loud I can't hear
and I'm losing the far and the near
Without you I will now disappear
disappear in your embrace

I feel all this silence turn into a void
that's growing
I'm stuck in an ending I cannot avoid
I'm choking
And it gets so close I can't see
and slowly getting inside you and me
Without you I will now disappear
disappear in your embrace

I've been drowning in your arms
Mesmerized by your charm
I've been drowning in your arms
Can't reach the surface




I can't breathe
I'm in too deep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Suburban Tribe's song "Drowning" depict a sense of overwhelming panic and agony that arises from missing someone's presence. The song writer seems to be gradually losing his/her sense of self in the absence of a loved one - as the silence turns into noise, the void grows wider, and the writer's breathless state is becoming inescapable. The lyrics portray a state of emotional vulnerability and a very real sense of being lost without the strength of another person to cling to. The writer is essentially describing their inability to function without another person's love and support. The writer also feels unable to articulate or express their pain, as "it gets so loud...[they] can't hear" and "it gets so close [they] can't see"; they are completely consumed by their own internal chaos. The lyrical motif of disappearing in the embrace of another person highlights the writer's overwhelming desire to be comforted and embraced by someone else's love. "Drowning" is an intense emotional rollercoaster of a song that highlights the writer's raw vulnerability and the reality of what it feels like to be overcome by emotions.
