While I Drown
Drowning in Shadows: A Tale of Despair and Redemption
Lyrics
Walkin' alone down the street at night, tryin' to find that something to feel right
Searching for a sense of fulfillment while walking alone at night.
Where can I get my kicks? I gotta get my fix, he said the alley to the right
Seeking excitement or pleasure, possibly involving risky behavior in an alley.
First can I see the money, don't try nothin' funny
Requesting assurance of payment before proceeding with a transaction.
If you got the cash, I got the stash, come with me I've got your back
Offering a substance (stash) in exchange for money, emphasizing loyalty.
What I have it will change your life, through the door just out of sight
Promising a life-changing experience behind a concealed door.
What you see's between you and me, don't tell a soul just promise me
Emphasizing secrecy between the speaker and the listener about the hidden experience.
Is this the life for me? No sight left unseen
Reflecting on the potential consequences of the chosen lifestyle.
If these walls could talk I'm sure they'd scream
Imagining the distress the surroundings would express if they could communicate.
Losing my grip on sanity while I drown
Expressing a struggle with mental stability while feeling overwhelmed.
Running out of room in my lungs, fighting just to keep my head up
Feeling physically and mentally constrained, fighting to stay afloat.
Lost and never found, found
Conveying a sense of being lost and unrecoverable.
Head's a hole with nowhere to go, clawin' at the walls as they erode
Describing a sense of confinement and desperation, symbolized by clawing at walls.
Once saw the world in rose and gold, now it's black and oh so cold
Contrasting a once positive view of the world with a current bleak and cold perspective.
Can't spend your whole life running, these demons are too cunning
Advising against constantly running from personal demons.
Don't turn your back, they'll attack, once false step could be your last
Warning about the danger of turning away, as it could lead to dire consequences.
You put your name on the dotted line, as agreed your soul is mine
Describing a commitment, possibly a pact with negative implications.
Don't beg and plead, kick or scream, the deal is done, no bargaining
Stating the irrevocability of a decision, no room for negotiation.
Is this the life for me? No sight left unseen
Reiterating the questioning of the chosen lifestyle and its consequences.
If these walls could talk I'm sure they'd scream
Imagining the potential vocalization of distress by the surrounding environment.
Losing my grip on sanity while I drown
Expressing a continued struggle with sanity amid drowning emotions.
Running out of room in my lungs, fighting just to keep my head up
Describing physical and emotional exhaustion, fighting to survive.
Lost and never found, found
Reiterating a sense of being lost and unreachable.
Losing myself once again, lost touch with everything and all my friends
Acknowledging a repeated experience of losing oneself and connections.
Losing myself once again, I've never felt so broken
Expressing a deep sense of brokenness and isolation.
