A Deep Deep Lake Lyrics
Cold hands and always the last to know.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Alcohol, alcohol.
Take your seats.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
A broken skylight,
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
A long long drive, longer than before.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.

im guessing this song is about an alcoholic father that comes back into the picture after a long absent. yes? no?
i think it's about an alcoholic, who is probably obsessed with somone, who they're not able to see.
perhaps a father with a restraining order, a love for whiskey, and a telescope? or something to that effect?
