Bring Me the Horizon - Drown
[Verse:]
What doesn't kill you,
Makes you wish you were dead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take,
One more moment of this silence,
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the worlds getting harder to hold up
(Hold up, hold up, hold up)
[Pre-Chorus:]
It comes in waves, I close my eyes,
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay and it's not all right,
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
[Chorus:]
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself,
Don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself,
Don't let me drown.
[Verse 2:]
What doesn't destroy you,
Leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take,
One more moment of this silence,
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the worlds getting harder to hold up
(Hold up, hold up, hold up)
[Pre-Chorus:]
It comes in waves, I close my eyes,
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay and it's not all right,
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
[Chorus:]
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself,
Don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself,
Don't let me drown.
[Bridge:]
You know that I can't do this on my own.
You know that I can't do this on my own.
You know that I can't do this on my own.
You know that I can't do this on my own.
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
[Outro:]
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself,
Don't let me drown.
Originally released as a stand-alone single, a remixed version features on the band's fifth studio album That's the Spirit and was released as the lead single. The track, musically, marks a shift away from the band's previously established metalcore sound. Rather, it was described by critics as a pop punk-leaning emo and rock song, being the later showcased as arena rock. It reached No. 17 in the UK, becoming the band's first top-20 single in their home country. The song was announced 13 October 2014 on the band's social media accounts. The song leaked on 21 October 2014 on YouTube by accident because of a mistake by Epitaph Records, the band's United States record label. It later premiered officially on BBC Radio 1 that same day. After it aired on BBC Radio 1, Oliver Sykes was interviewed by Zane Lowe. It had been reported that "Drown" would not appear on any studio album from the band. However, the song was later announced to be track 9 on the 2015 album That's the Spirit, albeit as a remixed version. "Drown" was set to be released on iTunes on 7 December 2014. However, in early October, Oliver Sykes began teasing lyrics in the form of photos on Twitter. He also posted a message stating if "#DROWN" started trending on Twitter, they would release the song sooner. Drown was released on iTunes 3 November 2014. "Drown" was issued as a picture disc in the UK on 7 December. It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.
