Drowning
The Eden Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cos I've been seeing some ghosts
and I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
but I lie
yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout
like a hurricane, these shots don't ricochet
sight blurred im walkin dazed, girl I'm fucking faded
oh I dont know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
oh my god
But so what if i drank too much
this ain't love, it's just a firefight
and even if i'ts not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
you'll ever bring me down
girl you know I'm drownin
and I keep goin down
but I'll swear that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
It's friendly fire and sunlight
the aftermath of one too many
words I said, when I should of said nothing at all
at all
I gotta stop overthinking
and missing
what could have been
you were never even really here
and still were are spinning
just liars and cheaters
right back where we started
but it don't get easier
I am drowning
in liquor and apathy
will be the death of me
but so what if I drank too much
this ain't love, it's just a firefight
And even if it's not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
but this is the last time
you'll ever bring me down
The Eden Project's song "drowning" is a powerful song that delves into the turmoil of emotions and thoughts that come with overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair. The song's lyrics describe the singer's difficulty in coping with their emotions, admitting to having lost their mind and seeing 'ghosts.' The singer is unable to verbalize their thoughts and feelings about the situation they are in, seeing the world around them as if it's blurry and not quite real. They struggle with addiction, drinking too much and sinking deeper into their thoughts, and feelings of apathy.
One of the most significant themes of the song is the singer's struggle to break free from their toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware that their partner is not good for them, but they remain in the relationship regardless. They acknowledge the harm that this person is causing them, and yet they keep coming back, even when they know it is the last time they will see them.
The song's refrain, "but this is the last time you'll ever bring me down, girl, you know I'm drowning," is a plea to break free from the negative cycle that the singer is trapped in. It's a struggle for the singer to escape from their partner's destructive influence and the cycle of addiction, but they're aware that it's necessary for their well-being.
Overall, "drowning" is a song about the struggle to break free from toxic relationships, addiction, and the impact that mental health can have on your life. It's a powerful testament to the struggles that people go through when faced with these issues.

I think I lost my mind a while ago
I feel like I've been insane for some time now
cos I've been seeing some ghosts
Because I have been seeing things that are not there
and I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
I would be dishonest if I said that I was okay
but I lie
But I still deceive
yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
These are thoughts I can never dare to speak
I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout
I've seen you sad but I've never seen you angry
like a hurricane, these shots don't ricochet
These shots affect me heavily, like a hurricane that does not stop
sight blurred im walkin dazed, girl I'm fucking faded
My vision is fuzzy, and I'm barely conscious. Girl, I'm heavily intoxicated
or maybe wasted, I cant remember how it happened
Perhaps I'm drunk, and I cannot recall what happened
oh I dont know my limits at all
I have no control over my actions, and I don't know when to stop
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
I am slowly consumed by my thoughts
oh my god
Oh dear
But so what if i drank too much
It doesn't matter if I drank too much
this ain't love, it's just a firefight
This is not love, but a conflict that keeps going on
and even if i'ts not enough
Even if what we have is not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
I'll tell you the truth, I have never lied
but this is the last time
But this will be the final time
you'll ever bring me down
You will never bring me down again
girl you know I'm drownin
Girl, you know I'm struggling
and I keep goin down
And I keep sinking deeper
but I'll swear that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
But I'll insist that I'm not drowning, over and over again
It's friendly fire and sunlight
It hurts, but it's not meant to be harmful
the aftermath of one too many
The result of overindulging, one too many times
words I said, when I should of said nothing at all
Words that I should have kept to myself
at all
Completely
I gotta stop overthinking
I need to stop dwelling on things too much
and missing
And longing for
what could have been
What could have been, but never was
you were never even really here
You were never as committed as I was
and still were are spinning
And yet, we keep spiraling out of control
just liars and cheaters
We are dishonest with ourselves and each other
right back where we started
Back to where we began
but it don't get easier
But it doesn't get any simpler
I am drowning
I am overwhelmed and struggling to stay afloat
in liquor and apathy
In alcohol and a lack of feeling
will be the death of me
This will ultimately lead to my downfall

[Verse 1]
I think I lost my mind a while ago
'Cause I've been seeing some ghosts
And I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
But I lie
Yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I've seen you cry, but I've never seen you
Shout like a hurricane
These shots don't ricochet
Sight blurred, I'm walking dazed, girl
I'm fucking faded
Or maybe wasted, I can't remember how it happened
Oh, I don't know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
Oh my God
[Chorus]
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, it's just a firefight
And even if it's not enough
I'll say it once, I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
You'll ever bring me down
But girl, you know I'm drowning
And I keep going down
But I'll swear that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
[Verse 2]
It's friendly fire and sunlight
The aftermath of one too many words I said
When I should've said nothing at all
At all, uh
I gotta stop overthinking and missing what could've been
You were never even really here
But still we are spinning, just liars and cheaters
Right back where we started, but it don't get easier
I am drowning in liquor, and apathy will be the death of me
[Chorus]
But so what if I drank too much?
This ain't love, its just a firefight
And even if its not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
But this is the last time
You'll ever bring me down

It's amazing how so many people think like me in so many ways... I love this, thanks Eden.
Stephen and Eden singing together.
"I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout like a hurricane."
Fumed and Drowning are Perfect but all of his songs are perfect...
The instruments damn on point
He's underrated
He writes his soul and love into his music.
We all love him.

I lost the only man I've loved.
It was my fault.
This song just puts it perfectly.
I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout like a hurricane
I'm fucking faded
Or maybe wasted, I can't remember how it happened
Oh I don't know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
Oh my God
And even if it's not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time
The aftermath of one too many
Words I said, when I should've said nothing at all
You were never even really here
But still we are spinning
Just liars and cheaters
This is the last time

I believe that the line in question is a quotation from his girlfriend. As supposedly in this song he is meant to be somewhat drunk. So it may represent what his girlfriend said to him when he was drunk
