Deep Thrills
Just Jack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm pushing out into the blueness
A soul soothing silence
Helping me to get through this
I'm floating breathless
Calmer that a Buddhist
In the newness
Of a world untouched by
Human hands
It's undiscovered civilisations in uncharted lands
I'm diving deeper to ocean floors afar
A landscape so alien
It's like you're on Mars
Anemones and coral
Iridescent in the half light
As shoals of fish catch the tide
And drift out of sight

Tell me what you're waiting for
What's keeping you here
Step into the blueness
Let nothing interfere
You never know
You may like the deep thrill
So why not stay a while if
You've got time to kill

Fluid motions in the weightlessness
Well it's all forgotten worries
And long gone stress
A million miles from mean streets like this
Now we drink black coffee in downtown Atlantis
Washed clean of the grime and the city sins
The only sharks you'll find down here have fins
You're under threat no longer
So close your eyes
And we can navigate by sonar
Into dark depths where evolution stands still
And submarine winds
Blow through the silent chill
You're introduced to the deep thrill
So why not stay awhile if
You've got time to kill

Tell me what you're waiting for
What's keeping you here
Step into the blueness
Let nothing interfere
You never know
You may like the deep thrill
So why not stay a while if
You've got time to kill





I'm pushing out into the blueness
I'm pushing out into the blueness

Overall Meaning

In Just Jack's song "Deep Thrills," the singer speaks of pushing out into the "blueness," referring to the unknown depths of the ocean, in search of relief from the stresses of daily life. He speaks of the silence of the deep and how it soothes his soul. Through the imagery of an alien landscape, he describes the beauty of the underwater world, with its anemones and coral, and shoals of fish that dance in the half-light. He urges others to join him and to experience the "deep thrill," where the only danger comes from the sharks with fins, and the only sound is the submarine wind blowing through the silent chill.


The song is an invitation to escape the stresses of modern life and to embrace the unknown. The singer's journey into the depths of the ocean can be seen as a metaphor for self-discovery, where one must push through the silence and uncertainty to find peace and clarity. The final repetition of "I'm pushing out into the blueness" demonstrates the singer's commitment to this journey.
