Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hmmm
Waves upon waves keep me down
And I can't get to the top
But when I get there else there'll be nowhere
'Cause I can't find the one I love
And if I make it out
Just how you left me
Drowning again
Drowning again yeah
Drowning again yeah
You should come see how good it would be
To come drown with me ooh ooh
Days upon days I've been floating
And you don't care if I die or not
But when I'm deceased I hope you will be
Dying next to me in my watery grave
And before we go I just want my baby to know
How it feels to be
Drowning again yeah
Drowning again yeah
Drowning again yeah
You should come see how it could it would be
Hey ah ooh
Ooh ooh
Drowning again ooh in your love
Drowning again ooh in your love
Drowning in your love again
Ooh in your love
Drowning again in your love
Drowning again in your love
Drowning again in your love
Uh drowning again in your love
Drowning again in your love.
The song "Drowning Again" by T-Pain feat. One Chance is a compelling and emotional track about feeling trapped and overwhelmed by an intense love that has left the singer feeling suffocated and powerless. The song uses the metaphor of drowning to convey the depth of despair felt by the singer, as he is weighed down by intense emotions that he is unable to escape. In the first verse, he describes how the waves keep him down and prevent him from reaching the surface, where he might be able to find some relief. However, he also acknowledges that even if he were to make it to the top, there would still be nowhere to go because he cannot find the one he loves. In the chorus, he repeats the phrase "drowning again" to emphasize the sense of being overwhelmed by his emotions and unable to find a way out. He invites the person he loves to join him in his despair, suggesting that it might be better to drown together than to struggle alone.
In the second verse, the singer expresses his despair at feeling abandoned by the person he loves, saying that they don't care if he lives or dies. He imagines a scenario in which they are both drowning together, suggesting that he would rather die with them than continue to live without them. In the final chorus, the singer once again pleads with his lover to join him in his melancholy, expressing his desire for them to experience the same overwhelming emotions that he is feeling. The song ends with a series of repetitions of the phrase "drowning in your love again," conveying the sense that the singer is caught in a cycle of emotional turmoil that he cannot escape.
