Der Songtext des Liedes "Drowning By Numbers" von Placebo lautet:
Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such determination always tries to turn the tide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue
Try losing this chromosome
It's my choosing, down to the bone
Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide
Open up your soul, falling back into
The big, big blue
Try losing this chromosome
It's my choosing, down to the bone
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Auto-flagellation always helps the ghost to hide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue
Try losing this chromosome
It's my choosing, down to the bone
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
