The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Between the Devil And the Deep Blue Sea" by the artist "XYL#216;"

Contents

In the song "Between the Devil And the Deep Blue Sea," XYL#216; uses the metaphor of a shipwreck and sinking to the ocean floor to describe a destructive and painful relationship. The lyrical hero is in a state of despair and hopelessness, like a person trapped on a sinking ship.

"Another day after the shipwreck" symbolizes a prolonged period of pain and suffering after a breakup or loss. The lyrical hero addresses the object of their love, who may no longer be around or is emotionally unavailable.

The phrase "Stolen from someone else's life" hints that this relationship was doomed from the start, perhaps beginning as a forbidden love. The feelings are no longer the same, and the lyrical hero feels the connection between them crumble.

The image of the tide that sometimes brings them closer and sometimes pulls them away from their loved one conveys the instability and uncertainty in the relationship. "With every word, you elusively slip from my embrace" - this line speaks of the futility of trying to hold onto a fading love.

The recurring phrase "You'll find me in the depths of the deep blue sea, where the devil is. And I'm going down" symbolizes hopelessness and sinking into the abyss of despair. The devil in this context can represent suffering, pain, and destruction.

The request to share the last breath and keep it until the time when the hero is gone speaks of the desire to leave at least some memory of themselves, of their love. "This battle has no end, but you have won the war" is an admission of defeat in this struggle for love.

The final lines of the song, repeating as if in a delirium, emphasize despair and pleas for salvation. The lyrical hero is drowning in their emotions, desperately needing help, but unsure if they will be heard.

Another day shipwrecked

Can you hear my prayer?

If you have the answer, let me know

Stolen from another life

You appeared in mine

It doesn't feel the same as it did before

And the tide, it takes me away from you,

And it brings me back again

And you slip like sand right through my hands

With every word you say

Oh, you'll find me between

The devil and the deep blue sea

And I'm going under

Oh, you'll find me between

The devil and the deep blue sea

And I'm going under

I'm coming up for air

Come and share my last breath

Save it for a time when I'm here no more

We're diving in the deep end

We can't turn back again

The battle never ends but you won the war

And the tide, it takes me away from you,

And it brings me back again

And you fall like water through my hands

With every word you say

Oh, you'll find me between

The devil and the deep blue sea

And I'm going under

Oh, you'll find me between

The devil and the deep blue sea

And I'm going under

(I'm drowning now,

Come and save me

Save me

Oh, I'm drowning now,

Come and save me)

I'm sinking like a stone,

Never never felt something like this before

And we're drowning

(Save me)

We need saving, so

(Oh, I'm drowning now,

Come and save me)

This ended long ago,

Never never met someone like you before

And we're drowning

(Save me)

We need saving, so

You'll find me between

(You'll find me)

The devil and the deep blue sea

And I'm going under

(Under)

Oh, you'll find me (I'm drowning now}

(You'll find me)

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

(Come and save me, save me)

And I'm going under

(I'm drowning now,

Come and save me

Save me, oh)
