I Feel Like I'm Drowning
Two Feet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep dreaming and dark scheming
Yeah, you do
You're a poison and I know that is the truth
All my friends think you're vicious
And they say you're suspicious
You keep dreaming and dark scheming
Yeah, you do
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning
You're holding me down and
Holding me down
You're killing me slow
So slow, oh no
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning

You're so plastic and that's tragic
Just for you
I don't know what the hell you gonna do
When your looks start depleting
And your friends all start leaving
You're so plastic and that's tragic
Just for you

I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning
You're holding me down and
Holding me down
You're killing me slow
So slow, oh no
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning

My life's okay
Yeah, just when you're not around me
My life's okay
Just when you're not around me
My life's okay
Just when you're not around me
My life's okay

I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning
You're holding me down and
Holding me down
You're killing me slow
So slow, oh no




I feel like I'm drowning
I'm drowning

Overall Meaning

In Two Feet's song "I Feel Like I'm Drowning," the singer is addressing a toxic person in their life. The first verse describes the subject's behavior as "dreaming and dark scheming" and acknowledges that their actions are harmful, labeling them as "poison." The singer's friends share this perspective, believing that this person is suspicious and vicious. The second verse explores the subject's superficiality, labeling them as "plastic" and ultimately predicting that they will lose beauty and friends as a result of their behavior.


The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the feeling of drowning and being held down, conveying the suffocating nature of the toxic relationship. The singer feels like they are being killed slowly and the situation is becoming unbearable.


The final verse presents a stark contrast to the rest of the song. The singer acknowledges that their life is okay when the toxic person is not around. This final verse can be interpreted as the singer coming to terms with the situation and realizing that they need to distance themselves in order to be happy.
