Discover the story of the song > Deep – Pearl Jam

The protagonist is standing on a windowsill, looking down on the street below. He feels superior to the people and sinks a needle/ burning knife into his body. He can't seem to find a way out of his situation and feels like he is in too deep. His partner is also struggling with her situation, feeling like she doesn't belong to the man above her and doesn't like the view. The chorus repeats that they can't touch the bottom and are in too deep.
