The Depths Lyrics
And here we go...
Now listen up I'll say a thing or two,
I bet I know something about you,
That you don't even know,
You don't wanna believe,
I know you're down for anything.
That's not what you're looking for,
There's not a reason to walk out that door,
And I don't even want you to sing,
I just want you to jump with me.
(I'm screaming)
My body's failing,
I think I've hit the floor,
I cannot feel anything anymore.
My body's failing,
I think I've hit the floor,
I can't remember anything, anymore.
And I'm gonna miss your face, for a long long time (for a long long time)
And I can't escape this place, it's in my mind (cause its in my mind)
And now that you don't even care,
I've got you inside the palm of my hand.
You don't really wanna get inside my head, let's leave out all our
skeletons.
The dead just like you will rise,
So come on life your voices towards the sky,
Now I want you to jump,
I want you to sing,
Now I want you to scream with me...
I've been put down for way too long,
You'll never be good enough.
All they told me was just give up,
You'll never be good enough.
(^^^ Repeated twice^^^)
Pushing me, pushing me, shut up.
Shut up.
I'm gonna miss your face,
I'm gonna miss your taste,
I'm gonna miss your face,
It's in my mind...
My body's failing,
I think I've hit the floor,
I cannot feel anything anymore.
My body's failing,

I can't remember anything, anymore.

Honestly... for me it's about suicide.
I think this is about a failed relationship. Their relationship hasn't worked and something happened to make him mad at his partner - they left him or had a big fight. So he traps his partner (I've got you in the palm of my hand) and tries to make them commit suicide with him (I want you to jump/sing/scream with me). They don't, so he kills them (the dead just like you) and then kills himself (my body's failing, I think I've hit the floor, I cannot feel anything anymore) and in his last moments he thinks how, when he is dead, he'll miss his significant other (I'm gonna miss your face/taste)
Generally, OM&M writes songs about missing someone. I guess this could be the same concept with The Depths, The Flood, etc. except with a twist and that being how they miss someone yet there's a lot of things to detest about the person as well. I could be wrong, I don't know.
I think this might be partially about Shayley (not sure if I spelled his name right) leaving the band. It seems like Austin's bummed he's leaving ("I'm gonna miss your face"). The part about not being good enough, I feel like that's him saying no one had faith in him, yet here he is, all famous and whatnot.
In my perspective this song is about Austin and his parents. He misses his mom dearly, hence the lyrics "I'm gonna miss your face for a long long time" and "The dead just like you will rise". His dad was not a huge part of his life, but still he was a pretty good part in it. His father was always pushing him down and telling him, "You'll never be good enough" and to "just give up" on his music career, but Austin obviously was determined and that pushed him to keep going and doing what he loves.
@WickedExtremes But i remember seeing in a burning questions thing with Austin and Tino about how his dad was his biggest inspiration now.
