Drown

Seafret's song 'Drown' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and overwhelming sense of despair that can accompany mental health struggles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with intense loneliness and the crushing weight of the world. The opening line, 'What doesn't kill you, makes you wish you were dead,' starkly contrasts the common adage, highlighting the depth of the protagonist's suffering. This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer expresses a growing void within, a 'hole in my soul,' that seems to deepen with each passing moment of silence and isolation.

The recurring imagery of drowning serves as a powerful metaphor for the protagonist's mental state. The waves represent the cyclical nature of their struggles, coming in and out, while the act of holding one's breath and letting it 'bury me' signifies a surrender to these overwhelming feelings. The plea for someone to 'drag the lake and bring me home again' underscores a desperate need for rescue and connection, a cry for help from someone who feels utterly lost and unable to save themselves.

The chorus amplifies this cry for help, asking, 'Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm drown? Save me from myself.' This repetition emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the protagonist's plea. The song's bridge, 'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own,' further underscores the theme of dependency and the need for external support to overcome internal battles. Seafret's poignant lyrics and haunting melody combine to create a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their own emotions, seeking solace and understanding in a world that often feels indifferent.
