Drowning
Navigating Life's Depths: Stereophonics' Drowning Meaning
Lyrics
I don't know why
I am uncertain about the reason
I don't know what is wrong
I am unsure what is not right
Oh no
Expressing concern or dismay
Is karma gonna get me?
Wondering if consequences (karma) will catch up with me
At times that's all I see
Thinking about karma during challenging times
It's not real
Questioning the reality of the situation
Wanna feel
Expressing a desire to feel
Wanna feel, like I did before
Yearning to experience emotions from the past
Mornings I can't breathe
Experiencing difficulty breathing in the morning
Wave crashes over me
Feeling overwhelmed like a crashing wave
And drowns me
Sensations of being drowned emotionally
Wind's running rings around me
Symbolic description of the chaotic state of mind
It takes me time to see
Realization that understanding takes time
What is real?
Questioning the authenticity of reality
Wanna feel
Expressing a desire to feel
Wanna feel
Continuing the yearning for past emotions
Like I did before
(Reiteration of the desire to feel like before)
Like I did before
-Time changes things
Acknowledging that time brings changes
Like I never thought
Reflecting on changes that were unexpected
Like I never saw?
Questioning if some changes were not foreseen
Time changes me
Time causing personal transformation
I'm like I never was
Feeling different from the past self
Oh no
Expressing concern or dismay
I'm looking back to what I was
Reflecting on a past self and actions
I've seen my face right on the floor
Witnessing personal struggles and difficulties
And I love you, being around
Expressing love and commitment despite challenges
I say it again, I'm not fucking around
Asserting sincerity and seriousness
I've seen in before
Recalling previous experiences
I'll see you again
Anticipating future encounters
It's knocking my door
Symbolizing challenges approaching
And it never pretends
Highlighting the inevitability of challenges
I'm down on my knees
Expressing vulnerability and submission
And I don't know where to go to find my way back home
Lost and searching for a way back home
I'm drowning [Repeat: x4]
Repetition of feeling overwhelmed and drowned
