Deeper
Matt & Micah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many times with your head on the floor
How many times did you give it away
How many times you got nothing to say
How does it feel when there's nothing to lose
How does it feel when you're singing the blues
How does it feel when there's nobody home
When you need to believe
When there's nothing to leave
Nothing left up your sleeve
You gotta dig deeper
Gotta gotta dig deeper
How many times will it happen again
How many times you been caught in the rain
How many times are you out on your own
How many times you been walking alone
When you have to survive
Quarter past left alive
Hearing nothing but jive
You gotta dig deeper
Gotta gotta dig deeper
When you need to believe
When there's nothing to leave
Nothing left up your sleeve
You gotta dig deeper
Gotta gotta dig deeper
In "Deeper" by Matt & Micah, the lyrics paint a picture of repeated struggles and challenges that the listener faces. The questioning of how many times they have been in difficult situations, feeling lost and helpless, emphasized by imagery of being on the floor, giving things away, and having nothing left to say. This repetition hints at a cycle of hardships and moments of despair that the individual keeps encountering.
The emotions are further intensified through inquiries about the weight of these feelings - asking how it feels to have nothing to lose, to be singing the blues, and to have nobody home. These questions suggest a sense of emptiness and isolation that the person is experiencing, highlighted by the metaphor of rolling a stone, representing the burden and monotony of their struggles.
The chorus acts as a beacon of hope amongst the darkness, calling for the listener to dig deeper within themselves. It emphasizes the need to believe in something, to keep pushing forward even when there seems to be nothing left or no one around. The repetition of "gotta dig deeper" serves as a mantra for resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
The final verses continue to explore the themes of resilience and survival, acknowledging the inevitability of facing challenges repeatedly. The mention of being caught in the rain and walking alone evoke feelings of vulnerability and solitude. The lyrics urge the listener to keep pushing forward, to keep digging deeper within themselves to find the strength and determination needed to overcome obstacles and hardships, and to keep believing in themselves even when it feels like there is nothing left.
