Drowning is the lead single from South Korean singer-songwriter WOODZ’s 2023 mini-album, OO-LI. The track marks a striking return to WOODZ’s roots in emotional storytelling, blending pop with soft rock influences to create a sound that is both modern and deeply evocative.
The lyrics of “Drowning” use water as a metaphor for heartbreak, depicting the aftermath of a relationship as an endless rainstorm that leaves the protagonist submerged in memories and longing. The song’s narrative centers on the struggle to breathe and move on, even as the pain threatens to pull him under.
Musically, “Drowning” stands out for its powerful electric guitar riffs, steady drumbeats, and WOODZ’s dynamic vocal performance. The arrangement builds tension and release, mirroring the emotional highs and lows of the lyrics. With its polished production and raw vulnerability, “Drowning” showcases WOODZ’s growth as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners through both sound and story.

미치도록 사랑했던
지겹도록 다투었던
네가 먼저 떠나고
여긴 온종일 비가 왔어
금세 턱 끝까지 차올랐고
숨이 막혀와
내 맘이란 추는 나를 더 깊게 더 깊게 붙잡아
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me
다 알면서 눈 감은 넌 왜
다정한 말로 나를 죽여놓고
날 누이고 너는 떠나갔지
You cut me bad, I’m still waiting for you
너 떠나고 이곳은 잠겨 눈물로
날 너무 사랑했던 넌
어디로 흩어졌는지
내 맘이란 추는 나를 더 깊게 더 깊게 붙잡아
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me
더 깊이 빠져 죽어도 되니까
다시 한번만 돌아와 줄래
더 깊이 빠져 죽어도 되니까
다시 한번만
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me

I loved you so intensely
We fought so endlessly
But you eventually left me first
It’s been raining all day here
And it quickly reached the tip of my chin
I can’t breathe now
The weight of my heart holds me down, deeper and even deeper
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me
Why did you close your eyes even after knowing everything?
You killed me with your sweet words
You laid me down and then left
You cut me bad, I’m still waiting for you
After you left, this place was flooded with tears
You used to love me so much
Where did you go?
The weight of my heart holds me down, deeper and even deeper
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me
I fall even deeper because it’s okay if I die
Will you come back one more time?
I fall even deeper because it’s okay if I die
Just one last time
Oh I’m drowning
It’s raining all day
I can’t breathe
Oh oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
Oh I’m drowning
You’re taking my life from me
