Deep Blue Feelings
V-Sag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you, 'cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
[Repeat: x2]
I ought to cross you off my list
But when you come a-knocking at my door
And I come running back for more
I should hate you, but I guess I love you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
The devil and the deep blue sea
The first verse "I don't want you, but I'd hate to lose you" portrays a conflicted and complex emotional state. The singer is torn between not wanting the person they are referring to in their life, yet also fearing the idea of losing them. This line suggests a dilemma where the singer recognizes that they may not necessarily desire this person, but at the same time, they have become emotionally invested in them.
The following line "You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea" further delves into the singer's predicament. This phrase is an idiom, meaning being caught in a difficult or inescapable situation. In this context, it implies feeling trapped between conflicting emotions or choices. The devil represents the negative aspects or consequences of being attached to this person, while the deep blue sea symbolizes the unknown or uncertain future without them.
The repetition of the second verse emphasizes the inner conflict experienced by the singer. They recognize that forgiving this person is necessary because they cannot forget them. This suggests that the singer has been hurt or wronged in the past, but despite that, they are unable to fully let go.
The subsequent lines "I ought to cross you off my list, but when you come a-knocking at my door, Fate seems to give my heart a twist, and I come running back for more" highlight the singer's internal struggle between logic and emotions. They acknowledge that it would be rational to remove this person from their life, but whenever they reappear, fate seems to intervene, reigniting their feelings and luring them back. This pattern implies a sense of being repeatedly tempted or unable to resist the allure of this person.
Finally, the concluding lines "I should hate you, but I guess I love you, You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea" encapsulate the main theme of the song. The singer acknowledges the contradiction within their feelings. On one hand, they believe they should feel animosity towards this person, but on the other hand, they realize that they still harbor love or affection towards them. The phrase "the devil and the deep blue sea" is reiterated, reinforcing the idea of feeling caught in a difficult and conflicting emotional state, unable to fully break free or move forward.
