Deep Lines Among the Shallows
Navigating Life's Depths: The Profound Message in 'Deep Lines Among the Shallows'
Lyrics
Deep, deep lines among the shallows
There are significant complexities within superficiality.
These are deep, deep times keeping us dull
The current era is profound but numbing.
You can think yourself clean you can be what you mean and then lie
Despite trying to maintain purity, one may deceive.
You can let yourself go you can be a big show and then slide
One can indulge in a flamboyant display and then decline.
They don't give a damn when they're shaking your hand off the bone
Others disregard consequences while using you.
Though these words got you strong it won't take very long to be gone to be gone
Even though empowering words are spoken, their impact fades quickly.
Deep, deep lines among the shallows
Similar to line 1: Superficiality holds profound complexities.
These are deep, deep times keeping us dull
A repetition emphasizing the current era's profound yet numbing nature.
Keeping us dull
Reiterating the dulling effect of the times.
You can never fit in and burn out from within like a flame
Attempting to conform leads to internal exhaustion and deterioration.
You can follow the road and keep lugging the load of your name
Persisting on a path, carrying the weight of one's reputation.
You may think you arrived and they are watching you drive by your home
Believing one has achieved success, yet others are indifferent.
No, they don't give a damn while they're shaking your hand from the bone from the bone
Others remain unconcerned while exploiting your efforts.
Deep, deep lines among the shallows
Reiteration of the earlier idea: Profound complexities exist within superficiality.
These are deep, deep times keeping us dull
Reaffirmation of the era's profound yet numbing characteristics.
Deep, deep lines among the shallows
A repetition emphasizing the significant complexities within superficiality.
We will fall asleep thoughtless and full
We will eventually become unconscious and complacent.
