Deep Inside Of You
ÐÄÁéÃɱÎ(Third Eye Blind) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we met light was she'd
Thoughts free flow
You said you've got something
Deep inside of you

A wind chime voice sound
Sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you

These secret garden beams
Changed my life so it seems
A fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride my thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh yeah

And I never felt alone alright
Oh oh till I met you

Friends say I've changed
I don't listen ''cause I live to be
Deep inside of you

Slide of her dress
Shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you

You said, "boy make girl feel good"
But still, deep inside
Still

I've never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do
If I just knew what's coming

I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you

And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
''cause I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you, and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me

But we were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know

Something's gone, you withdraw
And I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you

I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare
At a ghost deep inside of you

And some great need in me
Starts to bleed
I've lost myself, there's nothing left
It's all gone
Deep inside of you




Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you

Overall Meaning

In Third Eye Blind's “Deep Inside Of You”, the singer appears to be in a state of confusion and vulnerability, as he grapples with the emotional depth of a new relationship. The song begins with the notion of the initial meeting between two individuals, during a moment where the “light” is shed, and “thoughts are free-flowing”. The singer's lover confesses that they 'have something deep inside of them', which seems to resonate with the singer, perhaps because he too has similar feelings. The next verse sees the singer's reflection on the transformative nature of their relationship, as the sound of his partner's voice echoes like that of a “wind chime”, and the “sway of her hips” rings true.


The chorus sees the singer admitting that this relationship has changed him and his perspectives, although he admits that some of his friends seem to be ideating that these changes are not for the better as they are urging him to reconsider his choices. However, the intimacy and passion of the relationship serve as a sort-of escape for the singer. This is evident in his words “I'm deep inside of you”, where he relishes in the excitement that this new relationship offers him.


The final verse represents the climax of the song, where the singer's relationship seems to be in turmoil, as his partner begins to withdraw from him. He appears to be lost, isolated and alone without her, as his innermost thoughts reveal that he has lost his sense of self. The song ends on an ambiguous note, as the singer is left to reflect on the painful nature of his relationship and the “ghost deep inside of you”.

We were emotionally and spiritually deprived, and we didn't realize it until we found solace in each other


Something's gone, you withdraw And I'm not strong like before I was deep inside of you
Something has changed in our relationship, and as you withdraw, I feel weaker and less connected than I used to


I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare At a ghost deep inside of you
I am left feeling aimless, and I spend my time metaphorically chasing a ghost-like memory of the deep connection I felt with you


And some great need in me Starts to bleed I've lost myself, there's nothing left It's all gone Deep inside of you Deep inside of you Deep inside of you
A profound inner need is left unfulfilled, and I feel as though I have lost myself and everything that once mattered to me, including my deep connection and intimacy with you
