About This Track

'DROWN' by AViVA is an alternative track from the album 'VOLUME I' (2020). The lyrics tilt towards anxious, self-interrogating defiance, questioning whether anyone is truly listening, then sharpening into bleak imagery of loss, with the narrator stuck in a loop of introspection. They ask, “All my friends are dead”, and frame existence as a kind of inward pollution, weighing past conflict against its cost. The song builds the sense of being trapped in thought, where the desire to make sense collides with the absence of any comforting answer.

"DROWN" is a single by AViVA, from the album VOLUME I, released 2nd June 2020. The track is 3:21 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about AViVA.

Lyrics

DROWN

Do any of these words make sense?
Am I fighting to be heard but leaving no defence?
Can you understand where I'm coming from?
All my friends are dead
And their bodies gone

We live in selfish introspection of our own dark light
Polluting minds with retrospection, was it worth the fight?
I can't seem to find the escape hatch
But I'm sick of sitting tight

Trapped inside warheads
I'm bunkered with ashen soul
Your crooked heart's still beating
Begging eyes to witness more

Causing our own demise
Causing our own demise
Causing our own demise
Causing our own

Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Black walls surrounding
Can you please save my soul?
Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Black walls surrounding
Can you please save my soul?

Counting sheep to fall asleep in my lonely hole
In the wall of this city's ever darkening core
All opinions change as you'll learn to see
It seems insincere
Call it a human plea

The blind will lead the blind into their tangled web of lies
Chasing phantom vision of a past they left behind
A victim of another hack plan
Tired of wasting time

Trapped inside warheads
I'm bunkered with ashen soul
Your crooked heart's still beating
Begging eyes to witness more

Causing our own demise
Causing our own demise
Causing our own demise
Causing our own

Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Black walls surrounding
Can you please save my soul?
Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Black walls surrounding
Can you please save my soul?

Causing our own demise
Causing our own
Causing our own demise
Causing our own
Causing our own demise
Causing our own
Causing our own demise
Causing our own

Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Are we just drowning?
Can you please save my soul?
Are we just drowning?
Can you please save us?
Are we just drowning?
Are we just drowning?
