Deeper
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to go deeper
But I don't know how to swim
I want to be meeker
But have you seen this old earth?
I want to fly higher
But these arms won't take me there
I want to be, I want to be
Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?

And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you

And the wonder of it all
Is that I'm living just to fall more in love with you

I want to go deeper
But is it just a stupid whim?
I want to be weaker
Be a help to the strong
I want to run faster
But this old leg won't carry me
I want to be, I want to be

Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?

And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall

Maybe I could run
Maybe I could follow
It's time to walk the path
Where many seem to fall
Hold me in your arms
Just like any Father would
How long do we have to wait?
How long, we're going all the way


And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you
The wonder of it all (and the wonder of it all)




The wonder of it all (the wonder of it all)
Is that I'm fallin', fallin', fallin'

Overall Meaning

The song “Deeper” by Delirious? is a beautiful expression of a believer’s heart longing to draw closer to God. The lyrics speak of a desire to go deeper and be transformed, but not knowing how to do so. The writer expresses a deep desire to be closer and more like God, but acknowledges their shortcomings and weaknesses. The lines “I want to go deeper, But I don't know how to swim; I want to be meeker, But have you seen this old earth?; I want to fly higher, But these arms won't take me there” express this longing perfectly.

The lyrics “Maybe I could run; Maybe I could fly, to you; Do you feel the same; When all you see is blame in me?” express this longing to be in a deep relationship with God, despite their fear and feelings of inadequacy.

They express a hope that God will hold them in His arms and guide them along the way. The chorus then repeats the lines “And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall more in love with you,” expressing the writer’s deep desire to fall more in love with God no matter what their journey looks like.
