This is a great song paying omage to the late bass player of Gov't Mule, Allen Woody. I especially like the imagery created by the phrase "deep end." One meaning is that Allen Woody was the deep end of the band playing bass. Also, it is used to represent the afterlife and the person's friends coming to the bank to get one last look. A great song.

I think the got to hold onto a piece of dry land is Warren tripping giving his advice to Allen or whatever as he makes the transition.
