The Marianas depths

Yeah he gets you let's race it
The lines were drawn into space
Why he's so good at pretense
You don't know good till it's been staged

You think you're lost
When all the lights go out
In the Marianas depths you won't ever doubt
Sink inside a calm blue sea
Yeah the Marianas depth's the place to be

You see right through
It's basic
The view's as clear as it gets
You will be reawakening
Soon and you just know yet

You think you're lost
When all the lights go out
In the Marianas depths you won't ever doubt




Sink inside a calm blue sea
Yeah the Marianas depth's the place to be

The song "The Marianas Depths" by Iris is a beautiful piece of music that brings out different emotions in the listener's minds. The song starts off with the lines drawn in space as the singer races to win over someone they desire. The singer is not genuine and pretends to be someone they are not. The singer's partner falls for the fake façade and does not realize that they are not genuine until it's been staged.


As the song progresses, the listener realizes that they are lost when all the lights go out. However, if they sink into the calm blue sea that is the Marianas depths, they will never doubt their path again. The calmness of the blue sea represents a place where they can find peace amidst the chaos. The singer's partner sees right through the pretense and knows that they will be reawakening soon, although they don't know it yet. The song encourages the listener to seek solace in the depths of the sea, where the world seems to disappear, and everything becomes peaceful.


In conclusion, "The Marianas Depths" is a beautiful song that encourages listeners to find peace amidst the chaos. The song uses the calm blue sea to represent a place of solace where one can find peace from the noise and confusion of everyday life. The Marianas depths become a metaphor for the calmness that exists within every individual, and it's up to them to find their way to it.

the marianas depths - deepest place on the planet - is symbolic of one diving into their own unconscious - which, obviously, is as deep as one can go - hence the song.  It's actually a song about embracing nothingness, embracing darkness, embracing the unconscious and saying it's actually the safest place to be.  This is, lyrically, one of the best songs you will ever hear.
