Despite My Deepest Fear are a five-piece Metalcore band from London, UK. Well established for intense live performance and heavy breakdowns, Despite My Deepest Fear are exponentially increasing both their song writing skills and fan base. The explosive 'This Dies With Us' captures both their raw, aggressive sound in Dead To The World, to their more melodic moments that can be found in Paris Licks It Up Good.
Although they never claimed to have re-invented the genre, they have taken the current standard of British Metalcore to a whole new level, and promise even more development and pace with their new yet-to-be-titled EP, containing new tracks such as Life In Purgatory and It's Just Not Fun Anymore, along with a re-recorded and produced version of Paris. Despite My Deepest Fear are a band to look out for throughout 2010 as they push North with their soon to be announced tours

Despite My Deepest Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will not be a victim to their lies
We all know that you can’t be trusted
But I will not give up hope in you
I’ve had to pick up the pieces before
Now I need you, I can’t be alone
I cannot be alone, alone
Another day just passes by me
I’ve given up caring, I’ll be on my own
So I’ll just sit and watch the world fly by me
I need someone to tell me to keep it calm
I’ve heard it all before, you’re a devil behind closed doors
I am the sinner, I am the voice of the weak
You’re playing with fire, you’re swimming with sharks
You are swimming with fucking sharks
Listen to me, open your eyes, you will see what I see
It’s not the way you wanted this to be
You’re playing with fire, you’re swimming with sharks
You are swimming with fucking sharks
Listen to me, open your eyes, you will see what I see
It’s not the way you wanted this to be
I watched the fires burn, I drained the sea
Wash it all away with me and start again.
The lyrics of "Supernatural" by Despite my Deepest Fear is about the struggles of trusting someone who has let you down before. The song opens with a statement that the person addressed in the song is someone who listens to those who have fallen and cannot be trusted. The singer, however, refuses to give up on this person and wants to hope that things will turn around.
The second verse starts with the line "Another day just passes by me," which indicates that it has been a while since the singer has had any solace or company. They have given up on caring and resigned themselves to be on their own. They need someone to tell them to keep it calm and give them hope. The chorus repeats the theme of the person addressed swimming in dangerous waters and playing with fire. The singer pleads with them to open their eyes and see what they see.
The song ends on a hopeful note where the singer says that they have watched the fires burn and drained the sea. They want to wash it all away and start again. In essence, the song is an appeal to someone who has let down the singer in the past to turn things around and come through for them. It is a message about hope and the perseverance to keep trying even when things seem bleak.

You always listen to the ones who have fallen
You give more attention to those who have failed in life
I will not be a victim to their lies
I will not let their lies control me
We all know that you can’t be trusted
Everyone knows you are not trustworthy
But I will not give up hope in you
Despite your unreliability, I still have hope in you
I’ve had to pick up the pieces before
I have had to clean up after your mess before
Now I need you, I can’t be alone
I require your assistance, I cannot be alone
Another day just passes by me
Another uneventful day goes by without progress
I’ve given up caring, I’ll be on my own
I no longer care, I am on my own
So I’ll just sit and watch the world fly by me
I will observe the world pass me by
I need someone to tell me to keep it calm
I need someone to guide me to peace
I’ve heard it all before, you’re a devil behind closed doors
I am familiar with your true nature, you are deceitful
I am the sinner, I am the voice of the weak
I am the guilty party, I speak for the vulnerable
You’re playing with fire, you’re swimming with sharks
You are taking dangerous risks
You are swimming with fucking sharks
You are engaging with highly dangerous individuals
Listen to me, open your eyes, you will see what I see
Pay attention to me and you will understand my perspective
It’s not the way you wanted this to be
This is not the outcome you desired
I watched the fires burn, I drained the sea
I saw destruction and devastation
Wash it all away with me and start again.
Let's start over and erase the negative past
