Cover art for I'll Drown lyrics by Sóley

I'ts not about a depression. 'the house' is their relationship. It's about a relationship which both persons know that it's wrong but they keep holding on because they can't let go.

He's alone in his house out there, [He keeps holding on while the relationship is over] far, far away, he sleeps with his eyes open. [lack of trust]

He was so sad last night, in this house out there he took my hand and whispered.

And life is so sad in this house out there, his window's alright [it looks fine] his garden is wonderful. [from the outside people think they're happy]

But this waterfall salt tears comes from him, he will fill his house.

He takes my hand and whispers: I'll drown when I see you, [he's unhappy when he sees her, he cries, 'house full of water' => drowning] I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you.

These tears run so fast in his house out there he tried to get out, his house took his hand and smiled.

You'll never escape from this sad, sad house, I take his hand, we sink.

I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, I do.

Song Meaning
