Deep Sea Fishes
Jon Gomm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're swimming in the gloom,
Everywhere is silent,
Nothing is ever new.
An underwater comet,
I fly so gracelessly,
Open my eyes for a moment,
Just to check I still can't see
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to nobody,
We are navigating nowhere
Blindly through infinity
A single point of glowing,
A beacon in the dark,
The signal of the hunter,
I carry the same mark.
The distant shape is growing,
A ghostly yellow light,
O, water slowly flowing,
Take me to my love tonight
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to nobody,
We are navigating nowhere
Blindly through infinity
I hide myself from vision,
My strange and twisted form,
You see your own reflection,
I see myself in yours.
A fluttering of thermals
Holds us warm and close,
The things that seem eternal
are the things that change the most.
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to only to we,
We are navigating nowhere
Together through infinity
In Jon Gomm's song "Deep Sea Fishes," the singer speaks of the loneliness present in their life as if they are exclusively living in a gloomy underwater world. Despite being surrounded by the vastness of the sea, there is an eerie quietness that pervades everything. The singer conveys a sense of aimlessness and lack of new experiences as they navigate blindly through infinite waters. The metaphor of being a deep sea fish represents beauty that goes unnoticed by the world as they live in obscurity, with no one to appreciate their magnificence.
The singer reflects on their role as a hunter who seeks a beacon of light in the darkness. As they navigate through the depths, they see a single point of glowing, which they recognize as their own. The singer understands the loneliness and the hardships of their life, but they keep moving towards the light, hoping to find love in their life. They represent the idea that hope is an anchor in life and that even the smallest things could serve as a beacon of light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Loneliness is living
Living in loneliness
When you're swimming in the gloom,
When you are swimming in darkness
Everywhere is silent,
Everywhere is quiet
Nothing is ever new.
Nothing is ever fresh
An underwater comet,
Like a comet, I move
I fly so gracelessly,
I swim awkwardly
Open my eyes for a moment,
Open my eyes briefly
Just to check I still can't see
Just to confirm I am blind
We are deep sea fishes
We are creatures of the deep sea
Beautiful to nobody,
No one finds us beautiful
We are navigating nowhere
We are not going anywhere
Blindly through infinity
Through the infinite abyss, we swim blindly
A single point of glowing,
A shining beacon
A beacon in the dark,
A guiding light in the darkness
The signal of the hunter,
The prey of the hunter, I am
I carry the same mark.
I am marked like the rest of my kind
The distant shape is growing,
The far-off shape is getting closer
A ghostly yellow light,
A pale, otherworldly glow
O, water slowly flowing,
Oh, slowly moving water
Take me to my love tonight
Take me to the one I love tonight
I hide myself from vision,
I conceal myself from view
My strange and twisted form,
My odd and contorted shape
You see your own reflection,
You see your own image
I see myself in yours.
I see myself mirrored in yours
A fluttering of thermals
A warm current
Holds us warm and close,
Keeps us warm and close
The things that seem eternal
The things that appear everlasting
are the things that change the most.
Are the things that change the most
We are deep sea fishes
We are creatures of the deep sea
Beautiful to only to we,
We are beautiful only to ourselves
We are navigating nowhere
We are not going anywhere
Together through infinity
Together, we swim endlessly through the abyss

Oh man i jsut made the mistake of checking out what the Insane Clown Posse has been up to since i last hated them and this was really the antidote i needed for that horror.
@Rednivrug
We are navigating nowhere
Together through infinity.
Words more deeper than deep sea.
