    Use Map(/@) instead of Apply (@@). Drop[#, {2}] & @@ {{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}} is essentially equivalent to Drop[{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}, {2}], which is clearly not what you want

    I'd like to add to the answers here that the correct function for dropping a single element is Delete, not Drop. Drop is the opposite of Take.

    Your result is the first column of a matrix. If list={{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}} ,



    res=list[[All, 1]]


    If you need the brackets around each element, Partition[res, 1]



    If your lists are of unequal length, the solution from Lukas Lang is fine. I include for completeness.
