The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Drowning" by the artist "Willow Smith"

Contents

Willow Smith's "Drowning" is an allegory for a destructive relationship.

The ocean symbolizes the love and devotion the girl feels for the boy. She's "drowning" in his ocean, giving herself completely and without reservation.

The boy, however, is afraid of this depth, of this total surrender. He's not ready for that kind of love, and so he "drowns" the girl by leaving her. He was "too scared to love another" - perhaps because he was already traumatized, or simply incapable of deep feelings.

The image of the lifeless girl with "pale skin, blue eyes, and red lips" emphasizes the tragedy of the situation, her untimely departure from life, caused by unrequited, destructive love.

The tear that the lyrical heroine drops into the ocean is a kind of vow. The day he finds the body of his beloved, understands the grief he caused, is the day she can let go of him and her pain.

[Mecca Kalani:]

Do you wanna hear a love story?

Well, once upon a time, there was a guy...

[Willow Smith:]

All she ever did was pick at the scars

That he left her on her heart

And she bleed

Reliving the sweet words in terrible hurt

She gave him her heart

And so did he

But when we ripped the cord between his heart and hers

She fell to her knees in disbelief

And she was drowning in the middle of his ocean

She loved him, she was drowning

He drowned her in her sorrows

But he's scared to love another

But he drowned her

And he's staring at her body in the river of eternal love

Blue eyes, red lips, pale skin

[Mecca Kalani:]

He left her (He left her)

Standing in the middle of the street

Yes he left her (Yes he left her)

And she cried out so desperatly

And he dropped her

As she fell into his trap, she can never let go of that

But he caught her (Yes he caught her)

And as soon as she got up

He pushed her away

And she was drowning in the middle of his ocean

(She was drowning)

She loved him, she was drowning

(Drowning)

He drowned her in her sorrows

But he's scared to love another

But he drowned her

And he's staring at her body in the river of eternal love

[Willow Smith:]

I dropped a tear in the ocean

And the day that you find it I'll stop loving you, loving you

[Mecca Kalani:]

He's eyes told me the truth

But he's word fed me lies

And by that time she was...

[Willow Smith:]

Drowning

In the middle of his ocean

She loves him

She was drowning...

He drowned her in her sorrows

Cause he's scared to love another

But he drowned her

And he's staring at her body in the river of eternal love

And that's it
