Depths (Pt.1)

Yumi Zouma's 'Depths (Pt.1)' is a contemplative and introspective song that delves into the complexities of emotional experiences and personal growth. The lyrics paint a picture of someone caught in a whirlwind of emotions, grappling with feelings of coldness and detachment. The opening lines, 'Dizzy, we're caught in a spin / If I was older, then would you still let me win,' suggest a sense of confusion and a longing for validation or acceptance, possibly from a romantic partner or a significant figure in the singer's life.

The recurring theme of coldness, as highlighted in the lines 'Cold, so cold / And all that you say again / Is like / Don't go, so cold / You're not the same,' underscores a sense of emotional distance and change. This coldness could symbolize a shift in a relationship or a personal transformation that has led to feelings of isolation. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the impact of these changes on the singer's emotional state.

The chorus, 'Seriously / At last it bothers me / Under the blue of my desire to be / Never takin' myself that seriously / Don't think it bothers me,' reveals a struggle with self-perception and the desire to be taken seriously. The phrase 'under the blue of my desire to be' suggests a melancholic longing for recognition and understanding. Despite the singer's attempt to downplay their emotions, there is an underlying acknowledgment that these feelings do, in fact, bother them. This duality reflects the internal conflict between wanting to appear unaffected and the reality of being deeply impacted by their experiences.

The song's exploration of 'chasin' the depths of ascent' and 'savoring the consequences' indicates a journey of self-discovery and the acceptance of the outcomes of one's actions. This metaphorical ascent represents personal growth and the challenges that come with it. Yumi Zouma's dreamy and ethereal musical style complements the introspective nature of the lyrics, creating a poignant and reflective listening experience.
