Drown Lyrics

The flood gates thrown wide open, the fear SWEEPS YOU AWAY. Undertow pulling you, all hope DRAINS AWAY. Overwhelmed in a sea of suffering. One of the worst conceivable ways to fucking die. Liquid consumes the mouth and lungs... Choking, seizing, swallowing poison as you drown. Fight, kick, reach for surface as you drown. Conditions overwhelming. What once gave life now brings death. In a sea of suffering you drown. In a moment of hope, you start to see the light... a helping hand reaching beneath. Then a moment of fear overcomes your life as you realize the damage has been done. Save yourself. The game is over now. Nature won't allow what burns when it goes down. There is no turning back. Forever fighting... Forever kicking... Forever reaching... for the surface as you DROWN.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
