“The Depths” is track 11 on Interpol’s El Pintor and is track #1 on El Pintor Bonus Tracks – Single.
Since Interpol always references the Earth’s seas/oceans then it’s safe to assume that “The Depths” is referring to “The depths of the ocean” (a place full of unknowns and darkness).
[Verse 1]
Innocent idols who turn me on
While selling bibles to babies
We sleep for a while, but then you are gone
And all I have left is the story
[Chorus]
All I can see before me is the darkest blues
Because I sink to the depths without you
[Verse 2]
If I met a waitress could she turn me on
I think I got the time to let her know me
I keep my focus, but my dreams keeps me strong
I come abreast of it slowly
[Chorus]
All I can see before me is the darkest blue
Because I sink to the depths without you (To you, my love)
So many hours you are receiving from me (To you, my love)
Now the stars are out of view (To you, my love)
Because I sink to the depths without you, girl (To you, my love)
