"Deep End" by Jaden Smith is a love song that expresses the desire for a deeper connection and exploration with a romantic partner. The lyrics metaphorically compare the love the narrator wants to receive to the attention and importance given to a cell phone. The song also incorporates imagery of outer space and the moon to illustrate the vastness and potential of their love. The song begins with the narrator expressing the wish of being loved like a cell phone, implying a desire for constant attention and affection. The line "My flight just landed but the airport's closed" suggests a sense of urgency and longing to be with the person they love. The car that drives itself represents a lack of direction or clarity in the relationship. The chorus describes the narrator's dreams of being in a relationship that feels weightless and exciting, like flying in zero gravity. They want to escape from reality and enter a space where they can be together. The idea of a lake on the moon symbolizes the limitless possibilities and depths their love could reach. The verse by Jaden Smith discusses the narrator's memories with their partner. They mention various romantic settings, like a beach house and playing the piano together. The line "You was layin' low" implies that their partner was keeping a low profile or hiding something during that time. Despite this, the narrator still wants to dive into a deeper connection with them. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the desire to explore a more profound love and not wait for the weekend or a specific time to do so. The song ends by urging the partner to be open, like a butterfly, and take the opportunity to experience something greater together. The mention of the lake on the moon reinforces the idea that their love can transcend boundaries and limitations. Overall, "Deep End" conveys the longing for a more significant emotional connection, the excitement of exploring love, and the belief in the possibility of a deeper, fulfilling relationship.
