Drown
Wiley from Atlanta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get you to come home my dear
Same shit on a different day
Swear you so close right here
I don't wanna think about ya
But I don't think of me without ya
In ya new black skirt new outfit
Mouth All pout lipped screwed up red
Moments in between something heavenly
Exactly where I wanted you to be blue eyes so cloudless
Funny how this shit change
I was picturing you picturing me picking out a ring
Now I'm sensitive
Standing at the corner in the rain feel different
Knowing you don't think about my name when you visit him
I know he doesn't touch the little tattoo
Right above your hip pink twisted with the blue so intimate,
In and out of Saturn
Rings trace a pattern
Jawline fracture up against the way you kissing it
So broke down might slip might drown might float might choke...
Each week no peace can be found in my head
Knee deep sweet dreams you can sleep when I'm dead
Sleep sink deep water like a shot to my head
Think he might want her if she leave me I'm dead
The lyrics in Wiley from Atlanta's song "Drown" express the emotions of heartbreak and longing for a lost love. The opening lines "Can't sleep can't find no way" indicate that the singer is unable to stop thinking about the person they are missing. They urgently want the person to come home but feel defeated by the realization that they cannot control their absence. The phrase "same shit on a different day" suggests that the singer is stuck in a repetitive cycle of feeling lost without the person they love.
The lyrics indicate that the person they miss has moved on and is seeing someone else. The line "knowing you don't think about my name when you visit him" confirms that the person the singer is missing has a new partner. The feelings of jealousy are palpable when the singer describes picturing themselves picking out a ring for the person they miss. The lyric "I know he doesn't touch the little tattoo right above your hip pink twisted with the blue so intimate" adds a layer of intimacy to the relationship that has been lost.
The final lines of the song, "Think he might want her if she leave me I'm dead" indicate that the singer is desperate to hold onto the relationship, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being. The chords of the song are not known but the lyrics lend themselves to a slow and mournful melody.
