if it was about suicide why would they care how deep the water was?!!! fucks sake.
this song is about having doubts about just following the crowd and fitting in ie 'taking the plunge' and just going along with everyone else, as has happened to so many others who have had doubts - 'this cliff has been well worn by ignorance'. also it refers to letting everyone else make your decisions for you - 'it's so comforting to know i'll never have to think again'. but then the 'narrator' just decides to go along with it all anyway, 'it looks deep enough from here, i'm diving'. It's written from a fictional perspective of someone who just ends up following the crowd despite their own doubts, and the lyrics are meant to highlight the naivety of their thoughts. ie 'that can't be blood, the water here is far too blue'
