The Depths
Joe Bruce Lyrics

Real as sci-fi
The situation seems unreal, like something out of a science fiction movie.

The villains drive by
The antagonists or those causing harm are constantly present and active.

Heat seeking heart stoppers
Dangers or threats that can stop one's heart in an instant.

Can't escape if I try
Efforts to avoid or evade the dangers seem futile.

The depths
Referencing a hidden or concealed aspect of something, often associated with darkness or danger.

Covered by creatures sidewind
The hidden depths are inhabited by deceitful entities which twist and turn.

Through the valley of unfortunate souls
Navigating through a place filled with those who have suffered or are experiencing sorrow.

But here we go
Despite the challenges and dangers, the journey continues.

As I talk to the shadow of death
Facing mortality and engaging with the concept of death.

I'm smooth sailing but I feel them they been tracking my steps
Appearing calm on the surface, but sensing that threats are monitoring and following closely.

Remove ceilings off the chapels I was born in the depths
Breaking free from restrictive boundaries or confinements associated with the dangerous environment one grew up in.

The truth peeling from their faces painted out of respect
Seeing through the false fronts people put up to hide their true intentions, even if done out of courtesy or admiration.

For what they covet from me
Others desire something from the singer, perhaps something valuable or significant.

I could smell the venom in the air
Detecting the presence of malice or ill-intentions in the surrounding environment.

Venison vendettas sad when they near and deer
Mentions wordplay mixing 'venison', 'vendettas', 'near', and 'deer' to highlight the heavy and unfortunate consequences of bearing grudges or seeking revenge.

Scenic route to the roots took control had to steer
Navigating a long and winding path back to one's origins while regaining autonomy and direction.

Through the soul of the black whole quartz crystal clear
Gaining insight and understanding deep within oneself despite the darkness that surrounds.

Nothing is enough for the beast
The insatiable desire or hunger of malevolent forces is boundless.

Sharp tongues Plate of envy, jealousy, it's a feast
The negativity of others, full of envy and jealousy, feeds into their destructive behavior.

Night crawlers, they give me the creeps how they creep
Those who operate in darkness and deceit are unsettling for how they stealthily move and operate.

Thought about it, life is undervalued nothings cheap
Reflecting on the idea that life is precious and should not be taken for granted.

We learn more from our enemies observe close
Understanding and gaining insights from those who oppose or harm us requires close examination and careful observation.

Light work dark matter Know I heard both
Having experience and understanding of both the light and dark aspects of life.

A little duel with the devil Never hurt no
Engaging in conflicts or challenges with malevolent forces has not caused harm.

But you better be the clever one
Emphasizing the importance of being astute and cunning in facing adversaries.

Serpents getting better cause
Dangerous and deceitful individuals are becoming more skilled in their actions.
