Drown
Waxcat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remembered and forgotten
It goes until it comes around again
These words just won't come out
So what's the use in talking
I'll wait until it comes around again
Inhale, although I know I'd surely drown
Just let it take me now
I let it show me how
I let it take me down
I sink and breathe the water
And soak up all your sounds
(I sink and soak up all your sounds)
I leave it all behind
Surrender to the water
Into your heart I drown
Into your heart
This feeling's lost and found
Remembered and forgotten
It goes until it comes around again
These words just won't come out
So what's the use in talking
I'll wait until it comes around again
I let it take me down
I sink and breathe the water
And soak up all your sounds
I leave it all behind
Surrender to the water
Into your heart I drown
Into your heart
Into your heart I drown
This feeling's lost and found
The lyrics to Waxcat's song "Drown" depict a complex emotional experience of being trapped in a cycle of love and loss. The singer expresses feelings of being overwhelmed and unable to articulate their emotions. The repetition of phrases like "Remembered and forgotten" and "It goes until it comes around again" highlights the cyclical nature of these feelings. Despite the struggle to communicate, the singer chooses to wait for the emotions to resurface rather than forcing them out.
The imagery of drowning is a powerful metaphor used throughout the song. Inhaling and sinking underwater symbolizes the surrender and immersion into the depths of love, even if it feels suffocating. The line "Your love followed me all the way down" suggests that the intensity of the emotions is so profound that it accompanies the singer to the darkest depths. By soaking up all the sounds, the singer becomes deeply connected to the object of their affection, absorbing every aspect of their presence.
Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of resignation and surrender to the overwhelming power of love. Despite the ups and downs, the singer willingly allows themselves to be consumed by their emotions, finding solace and connection within their own drowning heart.
