Composition

"Drown" is notably darker lyrically and in sound than most of the band's songs. Vocalist Tyler Connolly explains the song is about being alone and letting yourself be defeated or "washed away" rather than making the difficult stand to "rise to the surface."[1] The song is written in drop C tuning, and was noted by the Ultimate Guitar Team for its heavy bass riff.[2] Randy Shatkowski of Underground Pulse compared the instrumentation of "Drown" to Alice in Chains and also noted Connolly's vocals to be slightly similar to that of Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows.[3]
