Life is a very complicated thing. Sometimes it requires strength and resilience from us, and in the case of weakness, it strikes a really strong blow. Similar thoughts often flash in the famous song “Deep end” by no less famous performer Fousheé. Pleasant musical accompaniment and the amazing voice of the singer makes you plunge into your thoughts with your head. This creates the so-called “meditation effect”. However, we will not reveal all the cards at once. Today we would like to analyze the meaning of the song “Deep End”. Get comfortable, it will be very interesting!
The meaning of the title of the song “Deep End”
The phrase “deep end” itself can be translated in different ways. However, the most popular translation is a whirlpool, a depth from which it is no longer possible to ascend, the bottom. This interpretation is very suitable for the text of the song, because the girl describes a real failure in her life. No, there will not be a description of a difficult situation, but the atmosphere itself clearly shows this to us.
We realize that in this world there is only one rule – “eat or be eaten.” That is why there are so many harsh words in the lyrics of the song. This is the very bottom that surrounds us. We ourselves are part of it, and there is no way out yet. Most likely, this is what Fousheé wanted to say with this song title.
The meaning of the song “Deep end”
So, let’s get down to the lyrics of the song. The introduction describes to us the moral state of the lyrical heroine. For sure, Fousheé associated her with herself. The girl did not want to go crazy, but, apparently, this world brought her to such a state. However, even in this state, she does not lose her grip, so she advises not to try to drive her crazy again.
And now it’s time for the first verse. The performer talks about her life path. She had to go through a lot. She changed the rules of the game, and this, as you know, is very difficult, because any change in society is a long process that requires special attention. The very rigidity of the narrative shows us the fiery character of the performer. She is ready to tear and throw for the sake of her happiness, which, it seems, is still far away.
Also in this verse, we notice a mention that some people around consider her a boss and a very bitchy girl. But she takes it as a compliment. Even those who have fallen low, she keeps closer. In general, a real bitchy character helps the performer to stay afloat.
The chorus takes us to the financial side of her life. In this matter, she is even sharper, because for money she is ready to kill. The remarks of the people around her simply do not care, she only demands to bring her banknotes. And people dutifully do it.
This is followed by the main part of the chorus, from which we understand that it was not the performer who made herself like this, but the world around. This “bottom” is slowly driving her crazy. And she does not advise anyone to interfere, because this can lead to a very deplorable outcome.
In the second verse, she addresses her competitors in the music scene. She rejects any criticism and calls to either respect it or get out of the way. We feel this aggressive impulse. It becomes clear that Fousheé is not going to turn off the chosen path.
The chorus reinforces the meaning of the second verse.
Deep End Lyrics by Fousheé
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give me a reason
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give me a reason
Had to come and flip the script
Had a big bone to pick
Got the short end of sticks, so we made a fire with it
Let it burn to a crisp, now that’s a sure fire flip
She’s a boss, she’s a b*tch
I’ll take that as a compliment
I see ’em moving real low, but leave ’em on a high note
Always lead with love, yo
Mama raised me thorough
They better wake up, n****s on the way up
You ain’t finna play her
Shawty gon’ get that paper
Shawty tongue rip like razor
Shawty got wit, got flavor
Pardon my t*ts and make-up, uh, uh, pay her
Dribble then hit that lay up
Shawty ain’t with them games, yuh
Shawty gon’ get that paper, pay her
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give me a reason
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give, give me
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give me a reason
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give, give me
Please proceed to light this b*tch up
Life ain’t fair, you fight for your cut
Think I spy your eye on my bucks
Great, look, now the lion woke up
You eying my sh*t, inquiring sh*t
Live for the minor event, I finally slip
Built on the bodies of men, nobody winning
Contain what I’m bottling in just benefits them
Shawty gon’ get that paper
Shawty tongue rip like razor
Shawty got wit, got flavor
Pardon my t*ts and make-up, uh, uh, pay her
Dribble then hit that lay up
Shawty ain’t with them games, yuh
Shawty gon’ get that paper, pay her
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give me a reason
I been trying not to go off the deep end
I don’t think you wanna give, give me
Deep End Lyrics by Foushee Alternative
I was trying not to lose my mind.
I don’t think you want to give me a reason.
¶¶ I’ve been trying not to go crazy ¶¶
I don’t think you want to give me a reason.
Had to come in and flip the script
Had to get the big bone
Got the short end of the sticks, so we lit a fire with it.
Let it burn to a crisp, now that’s a sure flip
She’s the boss, she’s a b*tch.
I’ll take that as a compliment
I see ’em move real low, but leave ’em on a high note
Always lead with love, yo
Mama raised me carefully
They better wake up, n**rs on their way up
You ain’t gonna play with her
♪ Baby, take that money ♪
♪ Shorty’s tongue is tearing like a razor ♪
Shorty got the wit, got the flavor
Forgive my p*sses and makeup, uh, pay her
Dribble then struck that lay
Shorty ain’t with them games, yeah
Shorty, take this paper, pay her
I was trying not to go crazy
I don’t think you want to give me a reason
I tried not to go crazy.
I don’t think you want to give, give me
I was trying not to go crazy
I don’t think you want to give me a reason
I was trying not to go crazy
I don’t think you wanna give, give me
Please keep rockin’ that c*ck.
Life ain’t fair, you’re fighting for your share
I think I’m watching my money
All right, look, now the lion’s awake.
You’re looking at my d*ck, you’re asking for d*ck
Living for a minor event, I finally slipped
Built on the bodies of men, no one wins
Keep what I spill, only good for them
Shorty, take this paper
Shorty’s tongue is bursting like a razor
Shorty got the wit, got the flavor
Forgive my p*sses and makeup, er, pay her
Dribble then struck that lay
Shorty ain’t with them games, yeah
Shorty, take this paper, pay her
I was trying not to go crazy
I don’t think you want to give me a reason
I tried not to go crazy.
I don’t think you want to give, give me
