Hopefully this will put all drowning stories to rest. Thanks to wikipedia, here is an actual quote from Phil Collins From a BBC World Interview:
"I don't know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it's obviously in anger. It's the angry side, or the bitter side of a separation. So what makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started many years ago, particularly in America, of someone come up to me and say, 'Did you really see someone drowning?' I said, 'No, wrong'. And then every time I go back to America the story gets Chinese whispers, it gets more and more elaborate. It's so frustrating, 'cos this is one song out of all the songs probably that I've ever written that I really don't know what it's about, you know." - Phil Collins
@Aenima21
Never believe what the artist(s) says. They lie. They are told to by their press agents and PR firms, and probably their record companies too.
What they say never makes sense. It's bull ????. We the public have to decipher the real meanings; that's why these sites draw so many people to them. We love to figure shiite out, and solve problems.

@Aenima21 Nope. It has to be the Urban Legend meaning. He watched someone drowning someone else which = GUILT (accessory to murder) lol

What he said is most likely true but it doesn't apply everywhere.
