Deep in the Ocean
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep, deep, deep, deep in the ocean,
Is a waterproof wristwatch that was dropped
From a boat on a cruise
By a man full of booze.
But even without a wrist it never stopped.

Through an accidental accident at the factory,
It was made so that it never need be wound.
For the watch ran on love,
Which it had plenty of.
For deep in the ocean there's plenty of love to be found.

Below the boats and sky,
There's no such thing as time.
There is no need for trying to
Put it together.
Put it together.


I believe we'll someday lose our feet,
Pick up some gills, and travel
Deep, deep, deep, deep in the ocean,
And enjoy a life that never should get old.
But it can and it will,
For we'll be human still,
And wherever ocean real estate is sold…

We'll be buying and selling
And always propelling it forwards.
And the leader of fish will take a stand.
And we shall see it swim,
With a wristwatch on its fin.
And the race of fish will be taking over our land.

The fish will take our seats,
The schools, the farms, the streets,
And we'll be stuck down deep and
Maybe we'll never
Put it together.


Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
And motionless.
Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
There'll be no sun anymore.

Below the boats and sky,
There's no such thing as time.
There is no need for trying to
Put it together.
We'll be forever.


Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
And motionless.
Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
And motionless.
Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
And motionless.
Deep in the ocean.
Deep in the ocean
And motionless.

So much for our fish friends!
Loose ends
Can't be tied. (Tied.)
Old selves have have died.
Goggle eyed
And chased by whales.
Swimmin'. Zoomin'.
Mermaid tails,
Almost human.
Skin turned to scales.
I conclude:
We've become sea food.
We've become sea food.




We've become sea food.
We've become sea food.

Overall Meaning

Deep in the Ocean by Lemon Demon tells a story about a waterproof wristwatch that was dropped from a cruise ship by a drunken man. The watch was accidentally made to run on love, and it was never wound. The song conveys that deep in the ocean, there is no concept of time, and there is plenty of love to be found. The chorus talks about the possibility of humans adapting to live in water, where they can live forever. However, the song takes a dark turn where it becomes clear that humans are no match against the sea creatures, and we have become their food.


The lyrics of the song also touch upon the theme of human domination over nature. The idea of humans buying and selling ocean real estate and the mention of fish taking over our land serve as a reminder that we are not invincible and need to respect the environment we live in. The song's overall message is that nature has its way of reclaiming what is rightfully hers, and we need to respect that.
