Deep Sea Diver Lyrics

You came running out of the dark
With the tears in your eyes
This time I'm not afraid
Cause my heart's ablaze

Baby, throw your hair back!
Let your heart down!

Baby, let your hair down
It's time to get enchanted
You're a deep sea diver
Tides are turning in your favour

You came running out of the dark
With the tears in your eyes
And the moth and the moon saw
A new religion being born

Baby let your hair fall back
And laugh like you never
Tasted such a good thing on your tongue
Baby, let your scream come
Baby, let your scream come...

Said you been taken over
By a deeper animal
You've been changed
What's grown up around you
Is a different skin
You thought I wouldn't know your face

Baby, if you can't see out
Know that I can hear you shout
And darling if you can't see out
You know that I can hear you shout

Cover art for Deep Sea Diver lyrics by Bat for Lashes

He (the person addressed in this song) has been somewhere "dark" that took his toll on him. She (the singer) is here to support and tell him everything is going to be ok. She knows what situation he is in, even if he thinks she doesn't.

"Love like you never" and the following lines are most likely about sex (or "love"). This might lead to the interpretation that the "dark place" he was in was a relationship that, according to her, did not go so well.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Deep Sea Diver lyrics by Bat for Lashes

"This wasn't written as a closing song, and for a while I didn't know what the last song would be. As it developed, I really like the ambient layering. It's a comforting song for me, it sets everything back to neutral. It's a good cuddle at the end of the album. It built-up slowly with loads of layers. The beginning of the song has a really important refrain: 'Let your hair down, throw your head back, relax, it’s alright.' By the end the music takes over and it's called Deep Sea Diver. Maybe you're on your own, feeling really good sitting at the bottom of the sea!"
