Drown Lyrics

Safe from harm
I’m swaying back and forth
Cradling me, the arms of halcyon seas

And it feels like I’m stranded
I feel so lost

How would it feel
down under the waves
Smothering air I’ve breathed,
so alive

Drowning

Stuck in time
A new beginning awaits
I can help you to find your course in the dark

Do you feel the corrosion?
Do you feel lost at sea?
Following the moonlight glistening deep blue
I’ve been here before and I will bring you home
So long!

Breathing incessantly
in deepest waters
Baptized so forcibly
to never wither

I’m alive
Why am I alive?
How would it feel to fade away?
Smothering air I’ve breathed, so alive

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.

I think this song is about someone lost (drowning) and questioning everything leading up to their current lost state. They are seeking answers, a savior, questioning aloud if this state they're currently end is one of shelter or if they should find a way out.
