Drown
Siren's Embrace: Battling Despair in Roses Are Dead's 'Drown'
Lyrics
Endless sea, calling me
Feeling drawn to an endless sea, a metaphor for a compelling force or situation.
Push me underneath, the surface
Expressing a desire to be submerged beneath the surface, possibly escaping something.
So I can't fucking breathe
Frustration with feeling suffocated or unable to breathe in the current circumstances.
My purpose, is not to be your slave
Rejecting the role of being someone's slave or being controlled by another person.
You're worthless, I'm not your soul to save
Dismissing someone's value or worthiness and refusing to be the savior of their soul.
Love, fear, hate
Listing strong emotions - love, fear, and hate, suggesting a complex emotional state.
Love, fear, hate
-The song you sing is echoing like needles in my head
Describing the impact of someone's words, causing misery and a desire for escape or death.
You amplify my misery and make me long for death
-The words you speak that you can't keep, A demon to be fed
-I have never felt so cold
Expressing a profound sense of coldness and living on the edge, recognizing a destructive force (siren).
I'm livin' on the edge of my life
-You beg me to leap into the turning tides
-I know what you are, siren
-Drown, drown, never was enough
Repeating the theme of drowning, indicating that it was never enough, with a loss of hope and light.
Drown drown
-No more light above
-Drown, drown
-My lungs are filling up
-Drown, drown
-Fighting every moment just to try and get away
Struggling against a force, feeling pressured, and acknowledging that the problem persists.
If I linger any longer then I'll never be the same
-Giving into all this pressure as though I'm the one to blame
-But the truth in all this bullshit is that you're still in my way
-I have never felt so cold
Reiterating the feeling of coldness and living on the edge, recognizing the influence of a siren.
I'm livin' on the edge of my life
-You beg me to leap into the turning tides
-I know what you are, siren
-Your siren song has left me broken
Attributing brokenness to a siren's song, seeking space and expressing the influence as a bad omen.
I can't find my breath
-Leave me alone you're my bad omen
-I have never felt so cold
Repeating the sense of coldness and living on the edge, acknowledging the siren's influence.
I'm livin' on the edge of my life
-You beg me to leap into the turning tides
-I know what you are, siren
-I know what you are
Acknowledging the siren's nature, pulling the person under, and emphasizing the impact.
You're pulling me under
-I know what you are
-Drown, drown
Final resignation, giving up in the face of the overwhelming force (drowning).
Drown drown
-I have given up
