First off, the tone of this song is so strangely triumphant, as if you are supposed to get the feeling of being freed from something. And the phrasing, 'Drown with me' conjures of thoughts of dying together with someone else, not necessarily murder. The last phrases are especially confusing, because they refer to being drowned in family, and wanting that person to escape that drowning scenario and into the drowning scenario of the singer. Sort of like saying, 'look, you're dying either way. Let's die together'.
So it leaves the feeling of, in a dark way, inviting someone else into your own troubling scenario.
Or it could be about a serial killer. That interpretation isn't as satisfying, to me anyway.
