Drowning
Drowning in Love's Depths: A Plea for Rescue
Lyrics
I swam out too far from the shore
I ventured too far away from safety
Afraid you won't see me anymore
Fearful that you might no longer notice me
Out in the middle of a rolling sea
In the midst of a turbulent sea
With the waves and the water washing over me
Being overwhelmed by waves and water
Mama!
Expressing a plea to the mother figure
Don't let me down
Requesting not to be disappointed
I love you more than I did before
Reaffirming increased love compared to before
So don't let me drown
Begging not to be left to perish
I'm drowning in this sea of love
Feeling overwhelmed by a profound love
Can't see the land or the sky above
Unable to perceive the boundaries of this emotion
Hurry up, baby, get a hold of me
Urgently seeking connection with the speaker
'Fore the devil in this water set my soul free
Fearing the potential malevolence of the situation
Mama!
Repeating the plea to the maternal figure
Don't let me drown
Emphasizing the importance of not being abandoned
If I still mean anything to you
Questioning if the speaker still holds significance
Don't let me down
Pleading not to be let down
Mama!
Repeating the call to the maternal figure
I'm drowning
Stating the current predicament of drowning
I'm not waving hello
Clarifying that it's not a friendly gesture
I ain't clowning around wit'cha, baby
Asserting seriousness with the plea
Don't let me go
Pleading not to be released or abandoned
If you see me lost and drifting around
If lost, asking for help without causing harm
Reach out for me, don't let me pull you down
Warning against being dragged into the struggle
It's over my head, mama, don't let me drown
Expressing the danger and the need for assistance
It's getting so quiet I can't hear a...
Describing the increasing silence and isolation
MAMA!
Reiterating the plea to the maternal figure
Don't let me drown
Reaffirming the fear of drowning
You swim so much better than me
Comparing the mother's swimming ability favorably
Don't let me drown
Pleading not to be abandoned in the struggle
Yeah, mama!
Repeating the urgency and intensity of the plea
Don't let me drown
Continuing the emotional call for assistance
Yeah, mama!
Emphasizing the maternal relationship
Mama!
Repeating the plea not to be left to drown
Don't let me drown...
Final plea to avoid abandonment and peril
