Deep Web
Magic Potion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only the garbage by the door
Saw you cry your eyeballs out
Made oceans look like puddles for a while
I couldn't be there for you.
Only the dead plants by the window
Only the food stains on your shirt
Light the candles in the cake
You sit and wait for someone to come by
I couldn't be there for you.
The lyrics to Magic Potion's song Deep Web convey a sense of sadness and distance in a relationship. The imagery of insignificant things such as ripples in coffee and garbage by the door, along with the mention of dead plants and food stains on a shirt, suggests neglect and lack of care. The lines "Saw you cry your eyeballs out, made oceans look like puddles for a while" add an emotional weight to the song, making it clear that the singer failed to provide support to the other person during a time of distress. The repetition of "I couldn't be there for you" emphasizes this feeling of helplessness and regret.
The melancholic tone of the song is further emphasized by the slow tempo and sparse instrumentation. The instruments (mainly guitar, bass, and drums) are used minimally, allowing the vocals to take center stage. The vocal delivery is subdued and introspective, adding to the overall mood of the song.
