The Deeper I Go the Darker It Gets Lyrics

Chained to an anchor
it’s pulling me under
this is so deep
it’s getting darker
breathe in deep
I can’t reach the surface
I know this is where I’ll die if I can’t reach the surface
can I see you again
in your dreams you said
or when one of us is dead
hold you in my arms again
I don’t care if you’re there
I don’t care if you’re there
kiss kiss
I hope you still dream of me like I dream of you
I’ll be with you again
asleep and safe from your goodbyes
away from your eyes
I swear if you let me kiss you one last time
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I can’t keep this together
I can’t stay here forever
I’ll see you in my dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for The Deeper I Go the Darker It Gets lyrics by Firebird Band, The

So the peson is slowly dying, emotionally draining and just being pulled deeper in depression, and the only thing that will let them survive is a certain person, who doesn't want to see them again until they die, or in their dreams. He knows she won't care about him anymore or be there for him at all, but he just wants one more kiss from her, apparently it will make everthing alright then.

Since he knows that isn't likely, and he can't hold himself together much longer, well, then he is pretty much saying goodbye and he'll see her in his dreams.
