Daniel Caesar - TOO DEEP TO TURN BACK Lyrics






Ooh, ooh
Hey, hey

So what's the price?
We're like mosquitoes to light, in a sense
I feed off bioluminescence
Love and intent
So it's a quick fix
What else does life have to give but the pain
Generated inside our own brains?
It's a sick game, yeah

Submit to me, come get down on one knee
I'm your savior and I'll give you everything that you need
(That you need)
Submit to me, come get down on one knee
I'm your savior and I'll give you everything that you need

Blaspheming the spirit
I just don't want to hear it, too deep
What I've sown I'll continue to reap
I'll earn my keep
It was all good intentions
Did I forget to mention? My God
Just tryna get money with my dogs
Is that so wrong?

Submit to me, come get down on one knee
I'm your savior and I'll give you everything that you need
(That you need)
Submit to me, come get down on one knee
I'm your savior and I'll give you everything that you need

Lately you been on a wave
Seen you lit up in the place
Sometimes you're sad, I see it on your face
I can tell you're not okay
I know you're only seeking out the beauty
In fulfilling your duty
The answers it seems
Are inside your own dreams

Good God, Jehovah, what's this I see?
My mortality's staring back at me
Niggas think I'm scared
Niggas think I'm a bitch
But I ain't come prepared and I ain't know what this is
I've slept like Jacob, a rock for a pillow
Run swift like Elijah, away from the middle
Seen the world, overindulged maybe a little
But now your boy's up, and I'm fit as a fiddle
Oh Lord, Jehovah, what's this I see?
Bourgeoisie tryna silence me
They don't know what I've been through
Don't know what I pree'd
Seeing shit that you see up in your TV screen
Follow me to salvation
Your mind still 'pon plantations
The shepherd, holds information
It gives it out as its taken
Yeah, yeah

Daniel Caesar TOO DEEP TO TURN BACK Comments
  1. A.... A....

    Beautiful

  2. q.... c....

    Daniel Caesar is my favourite artist by far. All of his songs touch me. I can't stop crying every time I listen to one of these songs, and neither can my girl friend. We love listening to your music and just cuddling because of how smooth it is, and since the lyrics actually mean something. We both love you Daniel, keep making music, because me and her can't stop listening to you, and you constantly make my day every day. I love you.

  3. F.... ....

    At first when I heard the album, I wasn’t feeling it. Second time, I’m literally in love

  4. C.... ....

    3:30 thank me later

  5. T.... ....

    After re listening to this album a couple times, this is definitely the deepest and best song imo, the lyrics and atmosphere, along with the switch up at the end, Arianna’s voice perfectly compliments the chorus as well. Everything combined makes this a fantastic listen.

  6. l.... ....

    My fav song on the album 🥺

  7. S.... ....

    this helps me breath when my life is aching

  8. D.... ....

    I am 100% fully in this song ❤

  9. d.... R....

    I love the reference to Jehovah being a good God :-)

  10. B.... S....

    harika bir şarkı sözleri de çok anlamlı yapmış Daniel abim seni çok seviyorum saçları kesince de bi şekil oldun zaten ile sçs öptüm çok

  11. 3.... ....

    Ariannas voice is just 🤤😍😍

    3.... ....

    thank you 💕💕💕

  12. V.... ....

    If you're scrolling in the comments reading this,
    I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY :)
    👇🏼 (I'm a just a smaller YouTuber tryna make some friends 💛)

  13. Y.... H....

    *Need a music video for this honestly*

  14. k.... ....

    Chills @2:50. Wow. Arianna Reed’s voice combined with the subtle autotuned background vocals is incredible.

  15. b.... p....

    🔥🔥🔥

  16. P.... G....

    oh lord jehovah what’s this I see
    bourgeoisie tryna silence me

    lefty Caesar??? 👀

  17. P.... R....

    This is some dom and sub shit‼️😂

  18. L.... ....

    When Daniel Caesar makes better christian music unintentionally than actual christian music now a days

  19. R.... M....

    Esse começo lembra alguma musica do Gilberto Gil hehe

  20. k.... w....

    This song is beautiful

  21. V.... ....

    fav track rn

  22. C.... B....

    Tyler the Creator... Daniel Caesar ... perhaps 🤔 __ together? to collab? Maybe? Maybe so? maybe no?

    C.... B....

    Tyler's voice is too coarse and blunt to match with Daniel's. Notice how Daniel only features artists who's tone matched his (H.E.R, Jacob Collier). I'm not saying a collab with Daniel and Tyler isn't possible, I'm just saying it's not likely.

  23. A.... E....

    Wow....😫

  24. S.... S....

    The length and duosound Reminds me of superwoman Stevie Wonder

  25. O.... M....

    My favourite on the album

  26. A.... m....

    This song is very very underrated

  27. A.... C....

    Amazing

  28. v.... ....

    Yo this and "Frontal Lobe Muzik" is just too good.

  29. J.... M....

    J passing by to mess up the “100” comments to 101 comments. 😂❤️

  30. M.... ....

    This is how IceJJFish thinks he sounds like

    M.... ....

    MrShostoper he could only dream

  31. R.... R....

    Olhem esses backs, meu Deus, sem condições💘

  32. A.... J....

    Why doesnt Arianna Reid have any credit?

    A.... J....

    Right! I’m glad she commented on this vid, love her voice on this track

    A.... J....

    I think whoever uploaded on his behalf didn't credit her. Which sucks. her vocals on that part make me want to grab and spoil someone.

  33. Z.... ....

    Love it 💛

  34. P.... R....

    His songs always sound better the second time

  35. L.... ....

    Favorite song on the album

    L.... ....

    and Cyanide :-)

  36. X.... ....

    love this one so much

  37. A.... R....

    Metaphysical existential R&B? This my shit

  38. p.... k....

    perfect

  39. �.... s....

    💗💗

  40. K.... S....

    angelic

  41. R.... M....

    The ending reminds me of violet so much

  42. a.... w....

    THIS IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL 🥺🥺

  43. G.... C....

    YOU ARE A BLESSING. I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR MUSIC

  44. j.... ....

    I uploaded a guitar tutorial of this song for those who need it!

  45. D.... H....

    Am I the only one that understands what this song is actually saying? Blaspheming the spirit???

    D.... H....

    Also, another confirming line to show how far Danny has come from his faith is in "SUPERPOSITION" where he claims he's God and that he's everything, which is false.

    D.... H....

    Robert Derrick this was a really good explanation. It makes sense but it's so scary and disheartening that kind of thing is so prevalent in the music industry. I feel slyly uncomfortable listening to this song now. Even the chorus saying he/she is the saviour is just off. What about the song 'are you ok' where he states he his highly blessed and favoured is he making a mockery of God?

    D.... H....

    Annabelle Boo Honestly, I'm not even sure. I did peep that line as well. Truth be told though, he isn't lying. Looking at his life from a worldly lens, he is truly blessed with his success. The one thing we have to remember though is that the Devil can give out blessings too as God has temporarily given him dominion over this world. Not sure if it's fair to accuse Daniel of mockery, but I will say it might not be too far off.

    Ultimately though, the Lord is the one who gives people their positions of power no matter good or evil.

    D.... H....

    Robert Derrick wow that's very true. I didn't even think of it like that. I really do believe he might be getting into like new age spiritualism now that I'm putting the pieces together. But thank you so much for this I need to be ore vigilant when it comes to things like this

    D.... H....

    I thought he had been doing LSD(he mentioned it earlier in the album) so now he's questioning what he believes but he's too deep in it to turn back.

  46. A.... B....

    that last verse is heavy, if you know you know

    A.... B....

    Alagie Bah bourgeoisie tryna silence me 😩😩😩😩

  47. R.... Q....

    This one my fav

  48. J.... D....

    i fucking fell in love

  49. I.... A....

    i wanna have your baby Daniel for this beautiful song i love you babe

  50. Y.... B....

    Like a Heavenly Angel!!! So Perfect Daniel.

  51. U.... ....

    She sounds like a fairy. What a calming voice. Smooth track.

    U.... ....

    thank you much, so sweet 💕😇

    U.... ....

    @Arianna Reid I also really love how to responded to all the comments!

    U.... ....

    @Piano Piano 💕💕

  52. S.... 1....

    Daniel I love your music so much you have no idea. You’re an inspiration and we all love & appreciate you. You’ll probably never see this but thank you for another amazing album. Stay safe ❤️

  53. E.... G....

    "DEMASIADO PROFUNDO PARA VOLTAR"

    Ooh, ooh 
    Hey, ei 

    Então qual é o preço? 
    Nós somos como mosquitos para iluminar, em certo sentido 
    eu me alimento de bioluminescência 
    Amor e intenção 
    Então é uma solução rápida 
    O que mais a vida tem para dar, mas a dor 
    Gerada dentro do nosso próprio cérebro? 
    É um jogo doentio, sim 

    Submeta-se a mim, venha se ajoelhar 
    Eu sou seu salvador e te darei tudo o que você precisa 
    (Que você precisa) 
    Submeta-se a mim, venha se ajoelhar 
    Eu sou seu Salvador e eu vou te dar tudo o que você precisa 

    Blasfemar o espírito 
    Eu só não quero ouvir isso, profundo demais 
    O que eu semeei eu vou continuar a colher 
    Eu vou ganhar meu sustento
    Todas as boas intenções 
    Eu esqueci de mencionar? Meu Deus 
    Apenas tentando ganhar dinheiro com meus cachorros 
    Isso é tão errado? 

    Submeta-se a mim, venha se ajoelhar 
    Eu sou seu salvador e te darei tudo o que você precisa 
    (Que você precisa) 
    Submeta-se a mim, venha se ajoelhar 
    Eu sou seu salvador e darei Você é tudo o que você precisa 

    Ultimamente você está acenando 
    Vendo você aceso no lugar 
    Às vezes você está triste, eu vejo em seu rosto 
    Eu posso dizer que você não está bem 
    Eu sei que você está apenas buscando a beleza 
    Em cumprir Seu dever 
    As respostas parece 
    Estão dentro de seus próprios sonhos 

    Bom Deus, Jeová, o que é isso que eu vejo?
    Minha mortalidade está me olhando de volta 
    Niggas pensam que estou com medo 
    Niggas pensam que eu sou uma vadia 
    Mas eu não venho preparada e não sei o que é isso 
    Eu tenho dormido como Jacob, uma rocha para um travesseiro 
    Corra rápido como Elias, longe do meio 
    Viu o mundo, exagerou talvez um pouco 
    Mas agora seu filho está em pé, e eu estou em forma como um violino 
    Oh Senhor, Jeová, o que é isso que eu vejo? 
    Burguesia tentando me silenciar 
    Eles não sabem o que eu passei 
    Não sei o que eu fazia antes 
    Vendo merda que você vê na tela da sua TV 
    Siga-me para a salvação 
    Sua mente ainda 'plantada em plantações 
    O pastor,

  54. s.... j....

    He bringing real music back 💯🙏

  55. L.... M....

    follow me to salvAtion

  56. E.... F....
