Deeper
Jigsaw Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn down the self medication
But It keeps me in a nice sedation
Somehow happiest at my lowest
Count my blessings
Take the leap, go deeper
A lonely view causes thoughts to feud
Take the leap, go deeper
Go deeper
The highest frequencies lie in gratitude
So I kill the ego, try to check my attitude
From one life to the next and still I′m stuck in this interlude
The sweetest choir sings to strengthen the fortitude
I take for granted what brings me to my desired altitude
Still I'm watching from the outside looking in
Count my blessings
Take the leap, go deeper
A lonely view causes thoughts to feud
Count my blessing
Take the leap, go deeper
Go deeper
Take the leap go deeper
Take the leap go deeper
Take the leap go deeper
Take the leap go deeper
Take the leap
Take the leap
Take the leap
Go deeper
The lyrics of Jigsaw Youth's "Deeper" seem to be split into two distinct messages. The first is a message of self-reflection and introspection, perhaps tied to a desire to break free from addiction or self-destructive behaviors. The second message encourages the listener to focus on gratitude and to look at their life through a lens of appreciation rather than negativity.
The opening lines suggest that the singer is trying to find some sense of peace or happiness through meditation but is struggling to do so without relying on drugs or alcohol. They seem to find some comfort in their "lowest" moments, which may be a reference to the idea that rock bottom can sometimes be a necessary starting point for change.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "count my blessings, take the leap, go deeper," seems to be urging the listener to dig deeper into their own emotions and experiences. By doing so, they may be able to find a sense of connection to something greater than themselves and to view the world from a more positive perspective.
One interesting aspect of "Deeper" is the way it blends ideas of self-improvement with a punk rock sensibility. The lyrics suggest a desire for personal growth and change, something that might seem at odds with the rebellious spirit of punk music. However, the band manages to make these two ideas mesh together seamlessly, creating a song that is both introspective and empowering.
