Deep Blue
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what you wanna do to yourself
Can't put your hands on somebody else
Chasing what no one can see
Sell the past get one for free

Out on the deep blue sea
You will not follow me
A need to rest a time to heal
Your raging fury

Took a long time to fall to your knees
Broken-hearted leave the world to freeze




Slowing down breathing in
Stop the time begin again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to De/Vision's "Deep Blue" may seem somewhat cryptic at first glance. However, a closer examination will reveal that it's a song that deals with the damage that we can inflict on ourselves and those around us, as well as the need for healing and redemption. The opening lines "I know what you wanna do to yourself, can't put your hands on somebody else," serve as a warning against self-destructive behavior that can lead to hurting those we love.


The next lines, "Chasing what no one can see, sell the past get one for free," could be interpreted as a commentary on a society where people often strive for material possessions and instant gratification at the expense of true happiness and fulfillment. The chorus, "Out on the deep blue sea, you will not follow me, a need to rest, a time to heal, your raging fury," suggests that the singer has recognized the destructive path they were on and is taking steps to heal and learn from their mistakes.


The final lines, "Took a long time to fall to your knees, broken-hearted leave the world to freeze, slowing down breathing in, stop the time begin again," speak to the idea that sometimes we need to hit rock bottom before we're able to pick ourselves back up and move forward. Overall, "Deep Blue" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to reflect on their choices and consider the importance of self-care and healing.
