Navigating Love's Abyss: Attica Blues' 'Deeper' Unveiled
Lyrics
You gave your all
You gave your maximum effort or devotion.
Expected nothing in return but a promise that you would be the sole one
Expecting nothing in return, only desiring a commitment to exclusivity.
I told you then
The speaker previously communicated their insights or observations.
I saw it all
The speaker foresaw the situation in its entirety.
But could just stand by to watch you fall deeper
The person experienced a profound decline, and the speaker could only witness it.
Your skies caved in
A metaphorical collapse of the person's emotional world.
Tears escaped
Emotional distress expressed through tears.
Then the anger came with a strength
Anger emerged strongly as a response to the situation.
Another point of view
Considering an alternative perspective, but it doesn't have significant influence.
Doesn't count for much
Another viewpoint holds little importance.
When the objective one
Someone essential is not responsive or present.
Isn't missing his touch
Highlighting the absence of an important connection.
I stood by you then
The speaker supported the person in the past.
I'll stand by you now
Commitment to standing by the person even now.
But don't want to just watch you fall deeper
Unwillingness to passively witness further decline.
Deeper
Reiteration of the depth of the decline—deeper.
Started to accept
Starting to acknowledge and accommodate the situation.
Just to carry on
Continuing despite difficulties.
But excluding him meant a whole piece of life gone
Exclusion of an important person results in a significant loss.
Couldn't let it go
Reluctance to release a past event or emotion.
Barriers came down
Breaking down emotional barriers.
Now you're there again like the scar forgot the pain
The person returns to the same state as if the past pain is forgotten.
I told you then
A repetition of the speaker's previous communication.
I said it all
Reiteration of expressing everything in the past.
But now again I watch you fall deeper
Observing another descent into a deeper emotional state.
Deeper
Emphasizing the increasing intensity of the decline—deeper.
