In Too Deep
Delight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me see
The pain we left behind
We make-believe
We'll break the wall when it's time
Grown within me, grown in you
Matter of our dreams
All the ways are falling through
When you're in too deep
You're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over you I'm an afterglow
In too deep
All our past is gone but we've been here all the same
And I need you to know I can't cope with borrowed blame
Grown within me, grown in you
Matter of our dreams

All our ways are breaking through
But we're in too deep
You're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
In too deep
Don't you know what's wrong so many lies beneath
And I've been holding on too long
In too deep... in too deep...
You're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
In too deep




Don't you know what's wrong too many lies beneath
And I've been holding on for too long

Overall Meaning

In "In Too Deep," Delight reflects on a relationship that has been broken and is struggling to be repaired. The pain of the past is still present and the hope of reconciliation is tenuous at best. Delight acknowledges that they have both grown within themselves and within the relationship, but it may not be enough in the face of the obstacles they've faced. The song grapples with how to move forward when the past is so present and how to reconcile the person they used to be with the person they've become.


The line, "You make me see the pain we left behind," highlights the idea that being in the relationship and attempting to fix it forces Delight to confront the pain and hurt that they've experienced. The line, "Matter of our dreams, all the ways are falling through," speaks to the idea that the relationship may have been built on unrealistic expectations and that those expectations are not being met. This realization is encapsulated in the line, "I can't cope with borrowed blame." Delight is grappling with the idea that they are both responsible for what has happened, but also understanding that some of the pain was inflicted by the other person.


The repetition of "in too deep" throughout the song reinforces the idea that they are both in a situation that they cannot easily extricate themselves from. They have invested so much time and effort into the relationship that it is too difficult to just walk away. The song concludes with the realization that too much has happened for them to easily move forward, but despite that, they still hold onto hope for the future.


Line by Line Meaning

You make me see
You help me understand


The pain we left behind
The hurt from our past that we moved away from


We make-believe
We pretend


We'll break the wall when it's time
We'll overcome the obstacles together when it's right


Grown within me, grown in you
It has become a part of me, it has become a part of you


Matter of our dreams
Something we both want


All the ways are falling through
All the plans are failing


When you're in too deep
When you're too invested


You're still turning to the one I used to be
You still look for the old me


I'm not over you I'm an afterglow
I still have feelings for you even if it's just a memory


All our past is gone but we've been here all the same
Our history is erased but our present remains the same


And I need you to know I can't cope with borrowed blame
It's too difficult for me to handle someone else's guilt


All our ways are breaking through
All our plans are succeeding


Don't you know what's wrong so many lies beneath
Can't you see the root of the problem with many hidden falsehoods


And I've been holding on too long
And I've been trying for too much time

You make me see
the pain we left behind
we make-believe
we'll break the wall when it's time
grown within me, grown in you
matter of our dreams
all the ways are falling through
when you're in too deep
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
all our past is gone but we've been here all the same
and I need you to know I can't cope with borrowed blame
grown within me, grown in you
matter of our dreams
all our ways are breaking through
but we're in too deep
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
don't you know what's wrong so many lies beneath
and I've been holding on too long
in too deep... in too deep...
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
don't you know what's wrong too many lies beneath
and I've been holding on for too long
