Drown
Kingdom's Descent: A Melodic Tale of Sacrifice and Redemption
Lyrics
I've been bending over backwards my whole life
I have consistently made great efforts throughout my life.
Struggling to feel some piece of mind
Struggling to find inner peace or tranquility.
Why is it this hard to feel right?
Expressing the difficulty of feeling content or morally upright.
It shouldn't be this hard to live a life
Life shouldn't be as challenging as it seems.
Why's everything involve some sacrifice
Questioning why everything requires a form of sacrifice.
Just want to feel some paradise
Desiring a state of bliss or happiness.
Lost all your chances
Opportunities have been missed or relationships have soured.
Life held for ransom
Life feels like it's being held hostage or controlled.
You let your people down
Letting down those close to you.
Let go of the reigns
Releasing control or responsibility.
It'll stop all the pain
Believing that relinquishing control will end the emotional pain.
Now watch as your kingdom drowns
Observing the downfall of one's own world or life.
Maybe it's all a dream
Considering the possibility that everything is just a dream.
(Watching my world come crashing down)
Reflecting on the collapse of personal reality.
Making it hard to breath
Experiencing emotional distress that makes breathing difficult.
(It's too late to save me now)
Feeling that it's too late for salvation.
I question reality
Doubting the authenticity of the surrounding world.
(They put me six feet underground)
Being metaphorically buried or defeated.
I promised I'd never leave
Committing to staying with someone or something.
(Now I watch my kingdom)
Observing the collapse of a personal realm or domain.
Watching my kingdom
Repeated emphasis on the act of witnessing one's own downfall or failure.
Watching my kingdom
-Watching my kingdom
-Drown
-Watching my kingdom
-Watching my kingdom
-Watching my kingdom
-Drown
-Takin' the edge off
Using substances to numb emotional pain.
Now pay the price and
Facing the consequences of one's actions.
Watch as you lose your crown
Witnessing the loss of personal status or authority.
Watching my kingdom
Reiterating the theme of observing the collapse of one's own world.
Watching my kingdom
-Watching my kingdom

Repetition of the idea that life is being held hostage, and the consequences of letting others down.
