it means..
Going under emotionally. Losing all what you have. Big ruin ahead.

That's odd, I have never heard this phrase before in my well-read life. Are you sure you have it quite right?

I haven't heard the song, though Google comes up with Klinik as the artist on it. If it is anything like what I've experienced, I'm not so sure I *want* to hear it!!
For me, I've actually felt myself drowning in my sleep -- it is extremely odd. Of course, at first I fight it like crazy, because I don't want to die, but I can't and I get weaker and weaker until I finally go under and just open my mouth and breathe in the water . . .
. . . and suddenly discover I am breathing the water and flying through the water like in the air, but slower. The kelp clutches at me, the fish tickle. But I can never quite catch my breath all the way. Always feel a bit clogged up (lol). Sometimes I sink to the bottom and just sit there. Sometimes I come back up, spit out all the water and walk back up the beach.
Weird, just weird. Always wake up breathing very, very hard and fast.

I would say Feeling overwhelmed. Remember the video for Sledgehammer, he was drowing in his sleep.

I guess sleeping soundly, or sinking in depression
