Drowning in the Sound Lyrics

Second-guess every word
Before I even speak
Like a drug, it dilutes
With every hit you seek

Assembly line
Authenticity
Ghostwritten complicity
Who are you to tell me what to do?

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound
In my mind

Running circles once again
What do you even mean?
Dead ideas on arrival
Made up your mind it seems

Overboard
What was once profound?
Drowned, but plotted, lost your ground
Who are you to tell me what to do?

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound
In my mind

Second-guess every word
Before I even speak

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound
In my mind

Second-guess every word

Like a drug, it dilutes
With every hit you seek

Assembly line

Who are you to tell me what to do?

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound

Running circles once again

Dead ideas on arrival
Made up your mind it seems

Overboard
What was once profound?
Drowned, but plotted, lost your ground
Who are you to tell me what to do?

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound
In my mind

Second-guess every word
Before I even speak

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound

I'll hold back the past
I'll tear apart the future
Just to stay alive
Just to stay alive
'Cause I'm drowning in the sound
Drowning in the sound
In my mind

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.
