~Never let me go~

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

Six months ago after his hearing the Weasleys invited Draco to stay with them at the burrow. When the first time he came here, standing in front of the place, his subconsious mind was replaying the mean words he said to them. He is still unable to find a reason why they sheltered someone who was never good to them, who is known as a heartless, broken, bad boy in the past.

And it's peaceful in the deep
'Cause either way you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under

But draco has finally found some peace from the whole death eater shits. He no longer feels the need to pray for release, for freedom or speak to explain himself. No longer he needs his father's permission to do things of his own will. He lives with the Weasleys and harry now. They have welcomed him with such kindness, he was forever grateful for.

Oh, and it's breaking over me
A thousand miles out to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head

His parents are in the prisons of azkaban now. Sure, it broke him. Though his father made him do things he wasn't comfortable with, his mother was always there for him. The ministry wanted draco into the prison cells too. If it weren't for his mother's several requests or the professors of hogwarts he would have been in there now.
But he's found the place where he wants to be, where he feels happy after a long time.

(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)

Draco feels safe between them. With Molly's motherly hugs and care, the meaningless friendly banters with harry and ron, the twin's never ending pranks, discussing muggle novels with Granger or the friendly quidditch matches with the youngest redhead he felt so much happiness. So, he prays to merlin daily, in hope so that the Weasleys never let him go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing over me
And the crushes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me

The Weasleys loved draco, which no-one except his mother ever gave him in his life. But sometimes it crushed him. He didn't forget the mean words he told them, or the horrible acts the redheads faced because of the Malfoys, because of him. He felt guilt. He felt ashamed. He doesn't know why he deserves this love.

Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles out to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head

It's hard to go through with it, but it was the only way he can escape from the hell of his life. In the beginning it seemed like too heavy a choice to him, but he doesn't regret it. He made friends and maybe a family. He can rely on these people for anything and everything. In these past months he had bonded with the trio and he knew they had forgiven him.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in

Draco is trying his best to fit in. He doesn't want to give up. He is giving in to this new life. The battle has changed his perspective on people. He wants to be the good guy for once in his life. If that means he has to leave the comfort of wealth he will do it. 'Cause he has found comfort from love. Love of a family, Love of friends who is with him for his true self and not for his name or money. It was good to know there were people who doesn't judge him for his past mistakes.

Oh, slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

Slipping into these simple life, was comfortable to draco. Away from the spotlight of daily prophet, away from the acts he never liked which came with the sparks of being a Malfoy. Away from being a emotionless pawn of his father.

In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion, well, I never knew at all
And the questions I have for a sinner released
As the arms of the ocean deliver me

He was finally happy. In his father's cold,dark manor he never felt the warmth of home, never experienced the love between a family. He has been released from his sins by the Weasleys' unconditional love. The family has given him the love he ever wanted from his family.

(Never let me go, never let me go)
Never let me go, never let me go)

Deliver me
Never let me go, never let me go
And it's over

I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in

Draco can finally sleep at night without having a nightmare. And if he have one, he knows there will be people who will help him through it. People who he considers as his family.

Ah, slipping underneath
Wooh, so cold, but so sweet

Draco Malfoy has finally found a 'home'.
