The main line is this song "Drown me in you" Maybe this would make sense if I did a line-by-line interp on both songs, but my short answer is that the word drown has many connotative meanings. Drowning in sorrow, literally drowning, and drowning as a metaphor for subjugation come to mind. "I could drown in your eyes" takes on a sinister note when one realizes that one loses oneself in the process. I belive that "Drown me in You" is a song about religion. Baptism can be seen as rebirth, but re-birth necessitates death. I think Drown Me In You is a lament to the self lost in religion. I will do a full interpretation soon, I am in a hurry.
