Flooding Up the Deep End
Junction 18 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It crashed among the wave and dragged me down
Straight to the ground It's not the first
But it's the last failed antidote
Good evening I just turned 63
Believe me it's never what it seems
And this is the last time I ever flee the scene
This is the last time I ever stop the need to know
So can I walk over me? There's no escape from hiding all of this
I can't believe we used to flood up the deep end end in honor of our weakness,
We just nailed this down
Right into the ground
It happened again today and now we're so run through
I think that says it all for this horror scene
This monster's a familiar friend to me
Why can't we just kill it, cause I'm sick of killing me
This is the last time I'm ever stop the need to
Know so can I just walk over me? Well my friend, It's true we lost it all
It's true we lost it all
This is the last time
This is the last time I flee
This is the last time I flee
This is the last time I flee
This is the last time I flee
Well it's nice thing that vacations are upon you
Reckless behavior is out of style, we all can see
So is this an answer for me?
Well it's not enough to end this wounded scene
And there's a lot of people that I've yet to meet
If this is growing old, then I've run out of steam
This whole place is out of my league
It's out of human reach
The lyrics to Junction 18's song "Flooding Up the Deep End" are an introspective reflection on coming to terms with one's mistakes and the consequences that follow. The opening line "Cellular nightmares just gave out the news tonight" immediately sets a somber tone, as the singer is receiving news that will have a profound impact on their life. The metaphor of crashing waves and being dragged down to the ground creates a sense of helplessness, as the singer feels overwhelmed by the weight of their past mistakes.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a sense of ownership and accountability. The line "I can't believe we used to flood up the deep end in honor of our weakness" acknowledges that the singer and their peers once engaged in reckless behavior as a way of coping with their struggles. However, they recognize that this behavior was not a sustainable solution, and are now grappling with the consequences of their actions. The repetition of "This is the last time I flee" emphasizes the idea of taking responsibility and facing one's problems head-on.
The song concludes with a sense of resignation and weariness. The line "If this is growing old, then I've run out of steam" suggests that the singer is tired of struggling and fighting against their demons, and is ready to accept their limitations. The final lyric, "It's out of human reach," conveys a sense of finality and acceptance that some things are simply beyond our control.
Overall, "Flooding Up the Deep End" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of human emotion and the struggle to come to terms with one's past mistakes.

Cellular nightmares just gave out the news tonight
I received distressing news about myself, possibly related to my body cells.
It crashed among the wave and dragged me down
The news hit me hard and brought me down emotionally.
Straight to the ground It's not the first
I've been through something like this before.
But it's the last failed antidote
This is the last thing that's supposed to fix things, but it failed.
Good evening I just turned 63
I just turned 63 and it's evening.
Believe me it's never what it seems
Things are not always as they appear to be.
And this is the last time I ever flee the scene
I won't run away from this situation anymore.
This is the last time I'm ever blind to see this
I won't be ignorant of the situation anymore.
This is the last time I ever stop the need to know
I won't suppress my curiosity about this anymore.
So can I walk over me? There's no escape from hiding all of this
Can I ignore my own feelings? There's no escape from keeping this hidden.
I can't believe we used to flood up the deep end end in honor of our weakness,
I can't believe we used to make things worse to honor our flaws.
We just nailed this down
We made things worse for ourselves.
Right into the ground
Our actions led us to rock bottom.
It happened again today and now we're so run through
Something similar happened again and we're exhausted.
I think that says it all for this horror scene
I feel like this sums up the terror we're facing.
This monster's a familiar friend to me
This is a problem that I'm all too familiar with.
Why can't we just kill it, cause I'm sick of killing me
Why can't we find a solution to this and stop harming ourselves in the process?
Well my friend, It's true we lost it all
It's true that we lost everything.
Well it's nice thing that vacations are upon you
It's great that you can take a break.
Reckless behavior is out of style, we all can see
Acting recklessly is not acceptable anymore.
So is this an answer for me?
Is this the solution to my problem?
Well it's not enough to end this wounded scene
This is not sufficient to fix our current problem.
And there's a lot of people that I've yet to meet
There are many people I haven't encountered yet.
If this is growing old, then I've run out of steam
If this is what getting old is like, I'm tired and have no energy left.
This whole place is out of my league
I feel out of place, like I don't belong here or like things are too advanced for me.
It's out of human reach
This is beyond what people can achieve.
