Deeper Deeper

One Ok Rock's song 'Deeper Deeper' is a powerful anthem about self-discovery, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth. The lyrics convey a sense of continuous effort and the challenges faced along the way. The repeated phrase 'Another step up' signifies the ongoing journey and the perseverance required to keep moving forward, despite the difficulties. The song encourages listeners to embrace the process of digging deeper into themselves, even when it feels like it's taking a long time.

The chorus, 'The deep deep deeper we go, feeling alone, but it’s oh, so simple, let it go,' highlights the emotional struggle of feeling isolated during this journey. However, it also suggests that letting go of unnecessary burdens can simplify the path. The imagery of dim lights and symbols represents moments of clarity and understanding that guide us through the darkness. The song emphasizes the importance of not hiding one's story and experiences, as they are integral to personal growth and connection with others.

The lyrics also touch on the inevitability of making mistakes and the importance of learning from them. The lines 'Itsudatte hito wa mayoun datte, Kizuichattatte, Shiranpuri shiteiyou' translate to 'People always get lost, even if they realize it, let's pretend we don't know.' This reflects the human tendency to make errors and the resilience to keep moving forward despite them. The song's message is clear: life is a continuous process of learning, evolving, and leaving a meaningful impact on others. The repeated declaration 'We will not stop right here' serves as a motivational mantra, urging listeners to persist in their journey of self-discovery and growth.
