Deeper
Ella Eyre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't sink in, and you fought above my head
'Cause I'm scared, I can't lie
I don't feel the same inside
I can't decide if I have the heart to confess
And I don't think I'm ready to go in this heavy
I thought we would take it slow
You say that you mean it
But for me, I just don't know
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't see it, I don't feel it
I need to dig a little deeper
I can't say that, I won't say it back
I need to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper (Oh)
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you!
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dig a little deeper (Oh)
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you!
There ain't no contract
And I go when I choose to leave
And I don't want that
That's not something that I need
And you know that it takes two
And I don't feel the same as you
When I think back on
Does he know I always knew?
And I don't think I'm ready to go in this heavy
I thought we would take it slow
And now you got that feelin'
You say that you mean it
But for me, I just don't know
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't see it, I don't feel it
I need to dig a little deeper
I can't say that, I won't say it back
I need to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper (Oh)
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you!
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dig a little deeper (Oh)
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you! (So dig a little deeper)
Don't feel it in my soul
For you, I just don't know (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Dig a little deeper) I just don't know
Don't feel it in my soul
For you, I just don't know (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Nanana) I just don't know
I can't!
I can't see it, I don't feel it
I need to dig a little deeper (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I can't see you, foresee you
I need to dig a little deeper (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dig a little deeper, oh
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you! (Dig a little deeper)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dig a little deeper
You, you, oh!
You, you, oh, you! (Dig a little deeper)
In Ella Eyre's song "Deeper," the singer is struggling with her feelings towards a person who is expressing strong emotions towards her. The song begins with the singer reflecting on something the other person said, but she does not fully understand its significance. She admits that she is scared and uncertain of her own feelings towards the other person, and is unsure if she has the courage to confess.
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the singer's need to "dig a little deeper" to truly understand her feelings. She cannot see or feel what the other person is expressing, and she cannot say the same back. The verse continues to stress the singer's hesitation to commit to a more serious relationship or attachment. She does not want to be bound by any contracts or obligations, and she does not need someone who is more invested than she is.
Overall, "Deeper" is a song about the complexity of human emotions and the importance of self-reflection. The singer knows that there is something more to her relationship with the other person, but she is not ready to fully commit to it. She needs to take the time to understand her own feelings before she can reciprocate.
Line by Line Meaning
Been thinking 'bout the little thing you said
I have been pondering over the small remarks you made
Doesn't sink in, and you fought above my head
I couldn't grasp your point as you explained it beyond my comprehension
'Cause I'm scared, I can't lie
I admit being afraid right now
I don't feel the same inside
My emotions don't reciprocate
I can't decide if I have the heart to confess
I am indecisive whether I should tell you the truth
And I don't think I'm ready to go in this heavy
I'm not prepared to get into something serious
I thought we would take it slow
I had assumed things will move slowly
And now you got that feelin'
You caught feelings for me
You say that you mean it
You assured me of your love for me
But for me, I just don't know
But I'm still uncertain about my feelings
I can't see it, I don't feel it
I can't see and share your enthusiasm
I need to dig a little deeper
I need to question myself more
I can't say that, I won't say it back
I cannot say it, and I won't say it back to you
There ain't no contract
We do not have any binding agreement
And I go when I choose to leave
I will leave when I feel it's time to go
And I don't want that
And this is something I don't want
That's not something that I need
It's not something that I require in my life
And you know that it takes two
You know that it takes two people in a relationship
And I don't feel the same as you
But my feelings don't match yours
When I think back on
When I recollect
Does he know I always knew?
Is it known to you that I had already known?
Don't feel it in my soul
This feeling doesn't come from within me
For you, I just don't know
When it comes to you, I don't understand
I can't!
I can't do it
I can't see you, foresee you
I'm unable to envision and anticipate you
Dig a little deeper
Look a little further

Finally someone that understands what a remix is supposed to be. I like the original version better, personally, but I really appreciate this one as well. It really takes the song a different place while keeping it's main motives and overall sound. Great job! I like it.
Jeremy Chastain
I like this version more than the original!
