LYRICS & MEANING

Drown Me Out

From The Weight of Almost Nothing (2026). Sung by Kat.

Wanting the noise in your head to stop: "I don't need an answer, I just need it to stop." Silence takes the place a drug used to fill.

Lyrics

Drowning in the hum
Of a thousand open bars
Something's always coming
But nothing ever lands anymore
I've been holding water
In hands that won't stay still
The weight of almost nothing
Is the heaviest thing I feel

Somewhere there's a room
With nothing on the walls
Nothing to remind me
That I'm just so small

Silence like a river
Carry me away
Silence like a fever
Burning out the day
I don't need an answer
I just need it to stop

Every voice a mirror
Reflecting back the noise
The more I try to hear it
The less becomes a choice
I used to know the difference
Between what's right and wrong
Now I chase the oblivion
I used to find in a drug

Now I chase the absence
Like it's something I could swallow

Somewhere there's a place
Where the signal finally falls

Silence like a river
Carry me away
Silence like a fever
Burning out the day
I don't need an answer
I just need it to stop

Silence you can reassure
By staying pure
Silence release the pressure
Drown me out
I don't need to breathe now
I just need it to stop

The weight of all my thoughts
Is the heaviest thing I feel
