Deeper

Skillet's "Deeper" turns the act of burial into a paradox: what gets pushed down does not stay down. The lyric opens with a confession of "pure truth" and a mind trying to recollect itself, then names the hurt that has been shoved aside and the anger it leaves behind. The repeated image is blunt and physical — everything buried gets exhumed, so the only response is to dig deeper. That digging is not escape but exposure, a willingness to be "exposed before You" rather than hidden underground. The second verse reframes weakness as the raw material for strength and giving as the measure of becoming, not keeping. The chorus then shifts into a question that repeats like a prayer: how can I hide deeper, how can I fly deeper in You. The answer is not a hiding place but a deepening in God, where flight and concealment become the same motion. The song's tone is tense and searching rather than triumphant, and it ends where it began, with the buried rising and the call to dig again.
