The meaning of the lyrics of the song "In Too Deep" by the artist "Why Don't We"

In Why Don't We's song "In Too Deep," the speaker uses the metaphor of diving deep into the ocean to describe his intense feelings for his lover.

He starts by confessing his initial fear of love ("the ocean"), hesitant to take the plunge. But his lover's "potion" – her captivating charm – has drawn him into the depths of his emotions. The chorus "I'm in too deep" expresses the overwhelming nature of his feelings: he is lost in love, with no sense of grounding, unsure of what she's doing to him.

The image of sirens is another metaphor, representing the alluring nature of the girl. Her love is like their enchanting yet dangerous song, drawing him further down. He acknowledges the risk ("I'm drowning"), yet he refuses rescue, choosing to remain captivated by her love.

The treasures at the ocean floor are a metaphor for the preciousness of their relationship. He is willing to stay lost in the depths of love, as it gives him a "second wind." Even the lack of air ("I can't breathe") doesn't deter him – love itself provides a feeling of being truly alive.

The final metaphor of an "underwater symphony" describes the beauty and harmony he has found in their love. He is completely immersed in his feelings, and this depth, despite its challenges, makes him feel truly alive.

[Verse 1: Jonah Marais]

Used to be scared of the ocean

'Cause I didn't know how to swim

I took one sip of your potion

Now I'm just divin' right in

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

I heard your siren's call

It was beautiful

I am drowning

But, please don't save me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery]

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

[Verse 2: Corbyn Besson]

Treasure chest filled with your diamonds

I don't mind staying down here

Thought by now I would be dyin'

But your love gives me all my air

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

I heard your siren's call

It was beautiful

I am drowning

But, please don't save me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery]

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

I'm in too deep

[Interlude: Daniel Seavey]

I heard your siren's call

It was beautiful

[Bridge: Zach Herron]

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery]

I'm in too deep

I never thought that you could be

My underwater symphony

I can't breathe but I'm living

I'm in too deep

Can't touch the bottom with my feet

Don't know what you did to me

I can't breathe but I'm living

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

I'm in too deep

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

Ah ooh-ah-ooh

I'm in too deep
