If you look at your reflection

at the bottom of the well

What you see is only on the surface

When you try to see the meaning,

hidden underneath

The measure of the depth

can be deceiving
Verse 2

The bottom has a rocky reputation

You can feel it in the distance

the deeper down

You stare

From up above it's hard to see

But you know when you're there

On the bottom words are shallow

The surface talk is cheap

You can only judge the distance

by the company you keep
