Drowning
Struggling with Shadows: A Descent into the Depths of Despair
Lyrics
I can feel it coming
I sense something approaching
Coming back again
It's recurring, returning again
I can feel it clawing
I sense it persistently nagging
In the back of my head
Intrusive thoughts in the depths of my mind
I can feel you drifting, Getting further away
I feel your emotional distance, growing farther
What more can I do, to make you stay
Expressing a desire to do more to retain your presence
Take me down, to the pits where I can finally sleep
Yearning to be taken to a place of peace
The warmth of flames are taking hold of me
The comforting embrace of flames enveloping me
Hold me down underwater just long enough
Symbolic drowning to escape the overwhelming darkness
Drowning out this darkness that blankets me
Fighting against the darkness that consumes
Take my hand, tell me it’s gonna be okay
Seeking reassurance and support
Tell me I can finally leave this plane
Expressing a desire for release from the current state
Let me know that you’ll move on in life
Asking for confirmation of moving forward in life
Cause I seem to be drowning you with me
Feeling like one's struggles affect others negatively
Drowning, drowning
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of drowning
Drowning, drowning
I need a savior
Expressing a need for a rescuer
My own super friend
Desiring a supportive figure, akin to a superhero
I need an answer
Seeking answers to end the pain
When will this pain all end
Questioning when the suffering will cease
Take me down, to the pits of hell so I can sleep
Reiteration of the desire to find solace in the depths
The warmth of flames taking hold of me
Embracing the warmth of metaphorical flames
Hold me down underwater just long enough
Symbolic immersion to escape the engulfing darkness
Drowning out this darkness that blankets me
Continued struggle against the prevailing darkness
Take my hand, tell me it’s gonna be okay
Seeking emotional support and reassurance
Tell me I can finally leave this Plane
Expressing a desire for liberation from the current state
Let me know that you’ll move on in life
Asking for confirmation of moving forward in life
Cause I seem to be drowning you with me
Feeling responsible for dragging others into one's struggles
Drowning, drowning
Drowning, drowning
