Saw You Drown

This song, for me, it's about someone (poetic persona) that hurts (betraying, lying or something else) a loved one and IT, the loved person, even though has forgiven him (to poetic person) is getting far away, getting more bleak, is getting cold... It is "drowning". The person that relates that situation, figured out that and is bad as well. I've separated the song with, on my point of view, who speak what on lyrics:

Poetic Persona: As through your shattered eyes It all came together And your heart cries Weeping through the weather Another way to change your mind

Here, the PP see into shatted eyes of the loved one the sadness, and the everything what happened came together on his head... It'd be great if he could change the past to change the mind of its (loved one)

Loved one: I'm weaker than they say To leave this all behind The only way to stay

The loved one thought that could pass over this situation... To forget the all the pain caused... But it knows, now, that is weaker, as they friends said, for that; to leave everthing behind... the only way to keep on and stay by side of PP.

PP: Don't you know I'm the end of what we'll be And right below us The last thing you'll see

PP sees how happy the end of boths (PP and Loved one) would be if he hasn't done commited the mistake.... This thoughts pass over his head... And he knows that last thing that he’ll see - say his thoughts - it's the loved person more and more unhappy for to can’t erase his mistake....

In the water I saw you drown Down the water Saw you drown

Here it’s metaphore! The PP sees that loved one drowning in its sadness…. And can’t do anything. In this pont, of my view (of course), the loved one has commited suicide.

PP As through my shattered sight You're no longer here And my heart cries Sleeping through the light

The loved one has gone (suicide, maybe)? The heart cries, he can’t sleep on night just when sun comes – but barely… What to do? Suicide thoughts on his head…

Another way to change my mind Never is the day To leave this all behind The only way to stay

There are another way to change his my from these dark thoughts? Now everthing is dark, the days don’t come anymore… The suicide it’s the only way to leave all this pain behind… The only way to stay by side of love one – together in death.
