Discover the story of the song > Drown Us Out – Ilse DeLange

The song is about a struggling relationship where something is off and the protagonist's honesty is hidden in words left unsaid. She is feeling alienated from her partner and wonders if she is the stranger in the relationship or if he is. However, she knows that if they don't communicate and break down their problems, the silence between them will drown them out. The chorus emphasizes the importance of finding a way to turn down the noise and address their issues before it's too late.
