Deeper Down Lyrics

By the end of the bout
He was punched out
Fists capsized
Muscles shouting
Deeper down
He felt the insult of a kiss

Deeper still than we can go
Further out than triremes row
Drowning slow
His memories persist

Out beyond the telescopes prowl
Up above the torched up path
He realized
This mystery is his

Underneath the ocean floor
The part of who we are
We don�t explore
I adore
The meaninglessness
Of the this
We can�t express

By the end of the bout
He was punched out
Fists capsized
Muscles shouting
Deeper down
He felt the comfort of a kiss

Beautiful. I think this song is about the struggle of everyday life which feels meaningless. And then the deeper mysterious layers of being human that connect us to the universe. And the ability to accept love (the kiss) - the only thing that will comfort us in our pain. Beautiful.

This may just be me but I feel theres a real Jesus allusion in the "insult of a kiss" line. A martyr who realizes that "This mystery is his". Idk i see alot of religion in this one. "of this we cant express"

This would have been the perfect song for the movie "The Wrestler"...

torched up path may be dutch dope high. At least that's what he said during a concert.

For me it’s about watching your kid playing Civilization and though not understanding every choice they make, or even every detail of the game, the enjoyment one finds when children grow and learn, and how great it is when you can still bug/comfort them in the midst of their activities.
