In 1995, the two first worked together, doing the soundtrack to an experimental dance film called Tabulae Anatomacae Sex. Canada's Much Music/Bravo TV, which purchased the movie for broadcast, chose the group to score music for the network. This success led the pair to choose to record an album. In 1996, that album, Initiation, was released, and two tracks were licensed for inclusion in USA Network's series La Femme Nikita.
The album received enough attention that they were picked up by Metropolis Records, where their second album, Between Earth and Sky was released in 2000. There was also enough interest in the group at this time that Metropolis took their first album, added bonus tracks, and re-issued it as Re: Initiation.
The score of the Canadian TV-Series ReGenesis (2004-2007) featured some of Rhea's Obsession's songs.
Too Deep
Rhea's Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The water glistens
Too deep
Whisper and listen
Too deep
You put me under a trance
Bubbles rise
Mesmerized by how beautiful we are
Suspended
Pieces of stars
Too deep
That you are witty
Too deep
So tired of pity
Too deep
So tired of hating it all
Universe says it's alright
Universe says it's alright
So listen
The water glistens
Too deep
The water glistens
Too deep
The water glistens
Too deep
I'm going under in a trance
Too deep
