ABOUT/MEANING: 'Deep Down' explores the boys' emotional journey toward self-acceptance, highlighting the vulnerability and inner struggles they face as they navigate adulthood. It emphasizes that true growth doesn't stem from eliminating fears but from learning to embrace them. By revisiting themes and metaphors from their debut track 'CROWN,' the song serves as a powerful reminder that self-acceptance is not a destination but an evolving journey. Although the boys may have lost their confidence in previous chapters, through resilience and self-discovery, they've matured and come to remember that it is these very differences that make them special. [Please note that this is our interpretation of the song's meaning, based on the ongoing narrative of TXT's discography and insights from the members and official press releases. It's perfectly fine to have a different interpretation—after all, that's the beauty of music ♡]
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingTXT)
One day, suddenly
Horns grew on my head
A shameful feeling
My mind goes blank
Hiding under my blanket
Only I am different
Even if I try running away endlessly
In the end, I'm still faced with myself and my horns
Inside this pitch-black darkness
Right before I break you off, I realize
Without you, there's no me
Telling me, what is the answer?
Telling me, have you found it?
Was the difference me?
So deep down, I need you more
Now I see what I can see
It’s a crown, that makes me shine
This difference is what I need
So deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
After a period of long wandering
I've finally realized the truth
The answer was so close by, yeah
A big crown on me
No longer hideous horns
You’re my silver lining
I tried to run away and ignore it
But this thing called 'fate' is too mischievous
The radiant light that led me
Was you who always made me shine
I realize it clearly now
Telling me, my difference
Telling me, it makes me who I am
Telling me, one and only
So deep down, I need you more
It's not a flaw or a stain
But something given only to me
A special one and only
So deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
