Deep Dive
Tell You What Now feat. Dave Grunewald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe in, let yourself down, let go
Break, under infinite weight
Awed yet dismayed you float away
You thirst will soon lead you astray
Awed yet dismayed you levitate
Through blurring spirals towards hell

You cut the ties
So you better learn the ropes, prepare for the abyss
Don't you dare to turn and watch the falling skies

Choked and left to seek
Deep diving, descending
Choked and left to seek
Deep diving, descending

Dreams remain diluting shades
Still here because they have been left to fade

Get on to your knees
And say your little prayer
Descend far too deep
Descend far too deep
And once you hit rock bottom, let the elements take care

The seabed's within reach
The water all so clear but yet you halt
Your vision starts to blacken
And you're subdued by everything

Choked and left to seek for what's been drowned
Keep diving, keep dreaming
Uplift your spirits, put your anchor down
Deep diving and descending

The crashing waves don't bother you nor does the storm
The sun is down and so is your luck
Time's running short, your air runs shorter
Abort and get back up

Rise Up! The pressure's getting worse
Rise Up! Your lungs will collapse
Rise Up! The surface becomes unreachable
Rise Up!

Thalassophobia seems to be the least of your problems now

You went far too deep
Despite all our prayers
You went out to seek, what might not even be there

Asphyxiation
What should bring answers only brings you death

The seabed's within reach
The water all so clear but yet you halt
Your vision starts to blacken
And you're subdued by everything

Choked and left to seek for what's been drowned
Keep diving, keep dreaming
Uplift your spirits, put your anchor down
Deep diving and descending





Breathe in, let yourself down, let go
Break, under the weight that you've put on yourself and drown!

Overall Meaning

The song "Deep Dive" by Tell You What feat. Dave Grunewald is a strikingly powerful and poignant exploration of the human condition, using the deep sea diving metaphor to explore themes of despair, hope, and struggle. The song opens with the lyrics "Breathe in, let yourself down, let go, break under infinite weight," which immediately set the tone for the song's melancholic and introspective atmosphere. The lyrics continue to describe the sensation of being "awed yet dismayed" as you float away from the surface, and the thirst that leads you astray into the depths.


The chorus of the song urges the listener to keep diving deeper, even in the face of choking darkness and uncertainty. The lyrics "Choked and left to seek, deep diving and descending" describe the powerful urge to keep searching for answers, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. The song also touches on themes of mortality, with lyrics like "The crashing waves don't bother you nor does the storm, the sun is down and so is your luck, time's running short, your air runs shorter, abort and get back up!" which describe the perilous nature of deep sea diving, and the urgent need for survival.

The fear of the unknown depths of the ocean is nothing compared to the challenges you're facing


You went far too deep
You've gone too far and now you're in too deep


Despite all our prayers
Even with the support of those around you, things still aren't going well


You went out to seek, what might not even be there
Your pursuit may be in vain


Asphyxiation
You're struggling for breath


What should bring answers only brings you death
Your quest for answers is leading you towards your demise
