| It's about a friend of the singer who thinks about suicide. He asks him not to. Because he would miss him if he would. | |

Here I come, come to You in the very close That I killed, killed You in and now I know I’m alone I walk to you, rain falls from You Can You wash me, can you drown me This part is obviously about God, he comes to God in desperate time when he has no one. He left his faith and he ask for forgiveness. He wants to be cleanse for his sins, he has a lot of them so maybe he would be better of dead. I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me I wanna be stronger; too long I’ve sat here undecidedly Planning strategy, half of me knows it’s all just a fallacy Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically Into a wall, I’ve hit a hundred times before And yet I still ignore the dark red blood stains on the floor And I’m back in front of you Lord, with blood on the floor Is the blood mine or yours don’t wanna do this anymore Back and forth between being me and who you call me to be You see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key To a door but he can’t cause he’s poor and he can’t Fall down anymore cause he’s already on the floor And his heart is broken and all and this is his scar But it’s warm from crying cause he will try nine times To realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives So he picks himself up and keeps climbing for the prize again Here I come again to you Just to show the blood soaked through Through my bones and all I own Is there a way for me to grow I walk to you, rain falls from you Can you wash me, can you drown me, please Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision My crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission It’s taking a toll on my soul, I’m screaming submission and I don’t know if I am dying or living Cause I will save a face for name’s sake Abuse grace take a aim to obtain a new name in a newer place But my name is lame, I can’t walk and I ain’t the same And my name became a new destiny to the grave and They say the ocean’s blue but it’s black right now In the dark, on the sand, looking out at my crowd Depression and drowning singing now the full parts Of lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts I’ve been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win But it’s hard for me to see where ocean stops, where sky begins And random chunks of light remind me of what is true But right now the ocean is blacker than black, the sky is too I don’t think the ocean resembles the crowd but depression. Because he talks about drowning and that the ocean is black and the sky is God, is future. God told him he will overcome his depression. It’s hard for him to see where it will end all the pain. |

Everybody thinks this songs is about a past relationship but in my opinion it’s not. I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river, and it made me complete The song begins by describing the narrator returning to a place he he knows, “like the back of [his] hand” (2). The place has changed since he was last there, but he still takes comfort in it’s familiarity (4-5). [Chorus] Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin The song goes on to describe the narrator longing for something, or someone, that he once had - perhaps a friend, a lover, or perhaps a feeling of youthful happiness he has lost. The narrator describes himself as, “old” and, “tired,” providing reasons for this missing person or thing to, “let [him] in” (6-8). So in my opinion he can’t handle life anymore. He need someone to talk to. The simple thing like happiness, he has lost. I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? He wishes for a new beginning, but with something from his past. The next verse describes the narrator coming across a fallen tree, and, “[feeling] the branches of it looking at [him]” (9-10). He’s the fallen tree, a fallen man. He failed his attempt to succeed in life. He feels judged. And he wonders by himself, did I used to love this? Is this the life I’ve dreaming of? He says the place is one he used to love, and one that means something to him and his lost companion or thing. He also describes the place as changed, as if he has trouble reconciling it with his memories; he also mentions dreaming of this place, but finding that his dreams no longer match the reality. [Chorus] And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? The narrator then pleads with absent friend or lover, desperately asking them: “If you have a minute, why don’t we go / somewhere only we know” (17-18). He wants to go back to the past, the place where he was happy. The end of everything, everything is life. So the end of his life. The last line, before the chorus repeats, says that, “this could be the end of everything” (19). This could mean the end of the relationship between the narrator and his missing someone, the end of the little bit of happiness he still held onto, or in a darker context, signifying depressive or even suicidal thought. The narrator is crying out for help, “for something to rely on” (6). And yet, because of this expression of wanting someone to help him, the song still seems hopeful. It is about relying on someone, and knowing you can go to them no matter what the circumstance. [Chorus] And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know? The writers utilized many thought-provoking literary devices in this song. The entire song is a conceit, as the lyrics are filled with fanciful symbolism and metaphor. For example, the symbolism in the first verse. The, “empty land,” the narrator describes is symbolic for loneliness, and suggests that the narrator was once lonely and found happiness, but now he finds himself alone again (1). The line regarding the narrator’s feeling of the branches of the falling tree watching him personifies the tree, but is also symbolizes uncertainty, self-doubt, and possibly the ghosts of his past (8-9). The chorus, in which the narrator begs for some comfort or company, echoes with assonance: “So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know” (20). All of this adds to the power and resonance of the song as a whole. Most of the info I found here, I added some things that I thought fitted in my opinion. http://quiteaproprose.blogspot.be/2012/11/song-analysis-somewhere-only-we-know.html In my opinion it is about someone thinking to end his life, seeking for help. |

| Sóley – I'll Drown Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I'ts not about a depression. 'the house' is their relationship. It's about a relationship which both persons know that it's wrong but they keep holding on because they can't let go. He's alone in his house out there, [He keeps holding on while the relationship is over] far, far away, he sleeps with his eyes open. [lack of trust] He was so sad last night, in this house out there he took my hand and whispered. And life is so sad in this house out there, his window's alright [it looks fine] his garden is wonderful. [from the outside people think they're happy] But this waterfall salt tears comes from him, he will fill his house. He takes my hand and whispers: I'll drown when I see you, [he's unhappy when he sees her, he cries, 'house full of water' => drowning] I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you. These tears run so fast in his house out there he tried to get out, his house took his hand and smiled. You'll never escape from this sad, sad house, I take his hand, we sink. I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, I do. |
