In Deep
Paul Vinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deliberately using you girl now let's be honest
I don't see every point you're trying to make
I can't be everything you want me to be
And I'm in deep
I dug myself a hole that I can't escape
I'm floating all alone out in space
And I didn't mean to make you feel that way
Unintentionally making your heart race
Carefully using the words I choose to say
Obliviously buying into my own game
Gravity is holding me down like a paperweight
And I'm in deep
I dug myself a hole that I can't escape
I'm floating all alone out in space
And I didn't mean the words I said
And I didn't mean to make you feel that way
I'm sorry I didn't mean to
I'm sorry I didn't mean to
I'm sorry I didn't mean to
I'm sorry I didn't mean to, yeah
Sorry I didn't mean to
I'm sorry I didn't mean to, yeah
I'm sorry I didn't mean to
I'm sorry I didn't mean to, yeah
I'm sorry I didn't mean to, yeah
And I'm in deep
I dug myself a hole that I can't escape
I'm floating all alone out in space
And I didn't mean the words I said
And I didn't mean to make you feel that way
The lyrics in Paul Vinson's song "In Deep" tackle the subject of a person who has found themselves in a deep hole that they can't escape from due to their own actions. The verse "Selfishly finding my way around your conscious, Deliberately using you girl now let's be honest" suggests that the singer has knowingly used the person they are addressing and only thinks about their own desires, leading them to hurt the other person in the process. However, the next line "I don't see every point you're trying to make" suggests that the singer cannot comprehend the pain they have caused and cannot fully understand the gravity of their actions.
The chorus "And I'm in deep, I dug myself a hole that I can't escape" further emphasizes the struggle the singer finds themselves in as they deal with the consequences of their actions. The line "I'm sorry I didn't mean to" repeated throughout the song, shows the singer's acknowledgement of their mistakes and regret for their actions.
