Her latest release, The Season, was recorded with longtime friend and collaborator Jake Owen (The BoDeans, Goldspot, Sahara Smith). Each song brings home the truth that there is growth from struggle, and the theme of moving from darkness to light permeates the album. Both musically and lyrically, The Season sings this message loud and clear; “I hope this album gives people excuses to love....what else are we made for?”

Too Deep
Laura Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here goes everything in my simple mind
Yeah, there used to be a time I'd trade it all for what you think
I'd hope for lies
I understand you'd be surprised
You were bound to be
No, you never were expecting anything at all from me
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don't find
Whatever you think you need
Fight or flight if ever we two should meet and someday might
That's what really bothered me:
You never really understanding
If I obsess, you win for relentlessness
We come undone by process of your denigration
How the hell were we supposed to be?
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don't find
Whatever you think you need
All the words you can have for nothing
For what it's worth, you have everything
I might have what we had in common
But, you know me...
As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don't find
Whatever you think you need
The verses of "Too Deep" by Laura Marie feature an introspective and emotional reflection on past relationships. The singer seems to admit to having made mistakes and bad decisions, expressing a sense of regret and a wish for things to have gone differently. The line "Here goes everything in my simple mind" can be interpreted as the singer expressing vulnerability and a willingness to open up about her thoughts and feelings, while acknowledging her limited perspective.
The chorus features a recurring theme of being "too deep", which can have multiple meanings. It could be interpreted as the singer feeling misunderstood or judged by someone who thinks they know her well, but doesn't really know her innermost thoughts and desires. It could also point to a sense of entanglement or emotional intensity that feels overwhelming or suffocating. The lines "You're too deep, is that why you think you know me? / Is that why you read my simple mind and still don't find / Whatever you think you need" suggest a sense of frustration and confusion on the singer's part, as she tries to navigate a relationship where her own emotions and needs are not being fully acknowledged or validated.
The bridge of the song features a contrast between the simplicity of human needs (as expressed in the line "As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need") and the complexities of emotional relationships between individuals. The singer seems to be grappling with the question of whether it is possible to truly connect with another person and find mutual understanding, or whether misunderstandings, conflicts and hurt feelings will always stand in the way.
Overall, "Too Deep" is a poignant and relatable song that explores themes of vulnerability, regret and the complexities of human connection.
