Despite them having formed new relationships with someone or something, the lyrics of “Drown” convey the message of not being able to stay committed to the person they initially had a connection with.
The melody and composition of “Drown” offers both groovy and sultry vibes that are driven by an electric guitar and drum-lead instrumentation behind Marco and Manas’s infectious vocals. These vocals and the instrumentation compliment each other, allowing the listener to succumb to the dreamlike, groove state of the song. Up until the one minute and fifty six second mark, the song lies within the midst of being simultaneously upbeat and chill, before diving into an enticing beat switch-up, which they teased on instagram through the single’s announcement post. Weston Estate notoriously redefines genres, and this contrasting melody and composition adds to this notion by each sonic element playing a significant role in making "Drown" a distinctive piece of alternative-pop music.

′Cause I've been fine here all alone
I've been right here on my own so long
I′m gon′ walk when you're down
′Cause girl this house don't feel like home
And these feelings that I hold are so wrong
Am I rude? All you do is heal the bruise I got
I′m not your man, I'm just tryna be your boo tonight
I know I said all I did, but I can't take his spot
Do you believe in love?
′Cause girl, I′m running from it
I know you feel my heart
Ooh-la-la-la
Do you believe in love?
Can't take your side
I don′t believe, I don't believe it
I don′t believe
I can't be what you want
Baby, all I need′s summer loving
If you can't breathe, grab my arm
But don't count on me, summer love
Summer love
Cut it off
We just be sipping on some Bacard′
We just been taking shots in the dark
I just been running laps round your heart
Oh my, she get what she want
My mind ain′t what you thought
Darling, you make me feel alive
Ooh-ah-ah-ah
Do you believe in love?
'Cause girl, I′m running from it
I know you feel my heart
Ooh-la-la-la
Do you believe in love?
Can't take your side
I don′t believe, I don't believe it
I don′t believe
I can't be what you want
Baby, all I need's summer loving
If you can′t breathe, grab my arm
But don′t count on me, summer love
Summer love
I'm not your friend, don′t keep me close
I'll give you comfort, that′s all I know
Under the covers, and through the night
Then I'm (gone, gone, gone, gone)
Who the fuck gon′ hold you when you're cold?
Hold you when you're cold (yeah)
Keep you on your toes, shit, you′ll never know (yeah)
I know this ain′t love, I know this ain't love, yeah
Told you I′m gone, told you I'm gone
I can′t be what you want
Baby, all I need's summer loving
If you can′t breathe, grab my arm
But don't count on me for summer love
I just want summer love
