Drown Together

Sentenced's song 'Drown Together' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love's depth and the ultimate commitment between two people. The lyrics convey a sense of profound devotion and the willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of love. The opening lines, 'Take this love, my dear, and cherish it in your heart / You shall have no fear… / Nothing could tear us apart,' set the tone for a relationship that is unbreakable and deeply cherished. The use of metaphors like 'twilight hides the clear' and 'cross the last frontier' suggests a journey into the unknown, where love is the guiding force that heals and unites.

The recurring imagery of water and the sea throughout the song symbolizes the fluid and encompassing nature of love. Lines like 'The Waves lie still and gleaming on Our Sea' and 'we're drifting down the stream' evoke a sense of calm and inevitability, as if the lovers are surrendering to the natural flow of their emotions. The idea of 'drowning' in love is both literal and metaphorical, representing a complete immersion in their feelings and a willingness to lose themselves in each other.

The song also touches on themes of eternity and transcendence. Phrases like 'we take our dive into the waters of eternity' and 'here all pain has died and the only ones are you and me' suggest that their love transcends the physical world and continues beyond life itself. This eternal aspect of their love is further emphasized by the repeated call to 'make it forever' and 'do it together,' highlighting the inseparable bond between the lovers. Sentenced's melancholic yet passionate delivery adds to the emotional weight of the song, making 'Drown Together' a poignant ode to everlasting love and commitment.
