Deeper
The Summer Obsession Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my shoulder to cry
This is deeper and we're all family here
Take my hand and don't ask why
There's a spirit and it's passing by

Don't you ever worry....

I'll tell you a story about danger that we can't forget

It's starts with an F, it gets stranger and it ends in ears
And the same old thing keeps haunting you forever
When you change the frame the next scene gets better

Take my shoulder to cry
It gets deeper...
It gets deeper...

Forever...
Don't you ever worry here
All there is to fear is fear
Don't you ever worry...

This is deeper, this is family
This is deeper, this is family
Don't you ever worry here
All there is to fear is fear

Forever...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Summer Obsession's song Deeper explore themes of comfort, support, and the notion of family. The opening line, "Take my shoulder to cry," suggests that the singer is offering a shoulder to their friend or loved one in need. The next line, "This is deeper and we're all family here," further emphasizes the idea of a close-knit group where they can all rely on each other for support. The following lines, "Take my hand and don't ask why / There's a spirit and it's passing by," suggest that there is something spiritual or emotionally meaningful happening in this moment.

Later in the song, the lyrics take a more ominous turn, referencing danger and fear. The line, "I'll tell you a story about danger that we can't forget / It starts with an F, it gets stranger and it ends in ears," is cryptic but suggests something unsettling. The next line, "And the same old thing keeps haunting you forever," implies a cyclical pattern that may be difficult to break. However, the refrain of "Don't you ever worry" serves as a mantra to reassure the listener that they are not alone and can rely on the support of their "family."
