Drown
Surviving the Abyss: Three Days Grace's Message of Resilience
Lyrics
Good morning day
Expressing the start of a new day.
Sorry I'm not there
Apology for absence.
But all my favorite friends
Reference to missing friends.
Vanished, in the air
Suggesting the disappearance of friends without a trace.
It's hard to fly when you can't even run
Describing difficulty in progressing when unable to move freely.
Once I had the world, but now I've got no one
Reflection on losing connection with the world and being alone.
If I needed someone to control me
Expressing a desire for control from someone else.
If I need someone to hold me down
Seeking someone to restrain or support.
I would change my direction
Contemplating a change in life's course.
And save myself before I,
Emphasizing the urgency of self-preservation.
If I needed someone to control me
Desiring external influence for control.
If I needed someone to push me around
Expressing openness to external force for direction.
I would change my direction and save myself before I, drown
Reiterating the need for self-rescue before drowning metaphorically.
Good morning day
Repeating the greeting, possibly to a different entity.
Sorry you're not here
Expressing regret for the absence of someone.
But all those times before
Reflecting on unclear and troubled times in the past.
Were never this unclear
Indicating confusion or lack of direction.
It's hard to walk when you can't even crawl
Conveying the difficulty in making progress.
Once I had this world, but now I've lost it all
Recalling a time when the speaker had control but lost it all.
If I needed someone to control me
Reiterating the desire for external control.
If I need someone to hold me down
Expressing the need for someone to hold the speaker down.
I would change my direction
Considering a change in life's direction for self-preservation.
And save myself before I
Emphasizing the urgency to save oneself.
If I needed someone to control me
Repeating the desire for external control.
If I needed someone to push me around
Openness to being pushed around for direction.
I would change my direction and save myself before I
Reiterating the need for self-rescue.
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
Repetition of the metaphorical struggle, rolling faster than breathing.
Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
-Drown, rolling faster then I'm breathing
-If I needed someone to control me
Expressing the need for external control.
If I need someone to hold me down
Desire for someone to hold the speaker down.
I would change my direction
Considering a change in life's course for self-preservation.
And save myself before I
Emphasizing the urgency of self-saving.
If I needed someone to control me
Repeating the desire for external control.
If I needed someone to push me around
Openness to being pushed around for direction.
I would change my direction before I, drown
Reiterating the need for a change in direction to avoid drowning.
