I'll Drown Lyrics
He's alone in his house out there,
far, far away,
he sleeps with his eyes open.
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
his garden is wonderful.
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,
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 our hands 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.
far, far away,
he sleeps with his eyes open.
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
his garden is wonderful.
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,
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 our hands 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.

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.

I love this song. beautiful & sad & so relatable.
Soley is a pure genius. Her music goes beyond the obvious. I think this song is about depression.
/He's alone in his house out there, far, far away, he sleeps with his eyes open.

This part is showing how alone and isolated he feels.
/And life is so sad in this house out there, his window's alright his garden is wonderful.

Although he knows he has perks in his life, he can't help but be sad.
/These tears run so fast in his house out there he tried to get out, his house took his hand and smiled.

He feels tapped in this "house" which I think is a metaphor for his depression. But her has a girl he can suffer with.
