The Drown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There’s noise and confusion that keeps me in a fog
The right side of my mind, tells me ‘keep moving on’
Am I just a slave to the grind? What if right is wrong?
Feels like I drown again
In a pool of things I’ve never been
All I want is reach an end
Some loss is so great, it takes away from your god
A pain that burns and turns all your hope to scars
I’m too tired for anger, too tired to fight this war
I’m left only with sadness and the memory of what was
The lyrics to The Drown's song "The Drown" delve into the internal struggles and confusion that the singer is experiencing. They paint a picture of a mind filled with noise and uncertainty, unable to make sense of the world around them. The opening line, "Inside of my head, I can't hear what's going on," reveals the singer's lack of clarity and the overwhelming nature of their thoughts.
The next line, "There's noise and confusion that keeps me in a fog," further emphasizes the chaotic state of their mind. It suggests that they are unable to find their way out of the confusion and are trapped in a state of disarray. The right side of their mind urges them to "keep moving on," but they question whether they are simply slaves to the daily grind and if what they believe to be right is actually wrong.
The chorus, "Feels like I drown again, in a pool of things I've never been," captures the feeling of being overwhelmed and suffocated by a sense of unfamiliarity. The singer longs for an end to this struggle and a way to find peace without the weight of the world they've always known. They express the weight of loss and pain, referring to it as something that takes away from their sense of a higher power ("takes away from your god"). This loss has the power to scar and transforms their hope into a burning pain.
