Drown Lyrics

We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth
We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth

Do you see the sun get soft and round
Do you see the sun get soft and disappear
Do you see the sun get soft and round
Do you see the sun get soft and disappear

We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth
We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth

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.

This is an absolutely beautiful song. I may be butchering what the artist meant the lyrics to mean, but everybody has their own interpretations. Perhaps it could mean something along the lines of not knowing what you have until it is gone. "We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth." When you're just starting to realize how good you have it, it will be taken away from you. The part of the song where she sings "Do you see the sun get soft and round/disappear" could be referring to the subconscious blindness humans possess. The sun sets every day (disappear) and some people are too busy going about their own monotonous lives to realize how beautiful it is. As far as who the "we'll" is, my mind is left to wonder. Who will "bring the water?" In short, it is about humanity and how unappreciative we can be. But when something we want gets taken away, we realize that we were oblivious.

a bit long of an explanation, i suppose.
