Thought you had all the answers
to rest your heart upon
but something happens
don't see if coming, now
you can't stop yourself
Now you're out there swimming...
in the deep
in the deep
Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you let go
till you shed your pride and you climb to heaven
and you throw yourself off
Now you're out there spinning...
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
And now you're out there spinning...
now you're out there spinning...
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
In the silence all your secrets will
raise their worried heads
well, you can pin yourself back together,
with who you thought you were
Now you're out there living...
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
In the deep...
Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
in the deep
(If you want to be given everything, give everything up)

A change of pace for us. I've been haunted by this song over the last few days. It's such an odd experience. Anyway, I thought I'd share this incredible piece of music. As you read, what thoughts come to mind? What strikes you? How do you feel? Where is the artist writing from? What does she want us to walk away with?
So many questions. I'm asking for your perspective. Your interpretation.
Let's head in the deep together...

To me this song means basically you're out there living your life everything feels great, you got a grip on everything. Then someone or something comes along, something simple or complex, and it just breaks you apart. You feel lost and you don't want to admit it but it's breaking you down. Then you realize that you're "out there swimming, in the deep" basically meaning you're lost and confused, you feel like you're all by yourself nowhere to turn. By shedding your pride, I think it means realize you can't be perfect, realize you will make mistakes, just keep your chin up and roll with the punches.
I don't know, I've always felt like the deep is reality, and anywhere else is a facade. Like when we are finally real with ourselves and others we realize that the minutia of life, the trivial stuff we get so hung up on, is really "shallow".
Alot of times it takes something epic, tragic, or out of the blue to help us focus. The real adventures in life, the character building times, are out in the deep...not in the shallows.
Anon- thanks for the love!
In memory of the late Tupac Shakur... Keep ya head up.
Russ, very insightful.
We've connected on so many levels. Perhaps it's our desire to jump head first into uncharted waters. We just believe we'll make it... somehow.
Thanks for pushing me in when I've been scared to jump. Thanks for being a lifeline in certain deep days.
Much love my friend!
