Here we have a classic anthem that's less about aquatic measurements and more about the profound depths of affection. Our protagonist is caught in a constant tango of longing and uncertainty, begging for reassurance amidst a world of naysayers. He isn't just asking for a casual 'I love you', he's practically demanding a thesis statement on the subject. The song is essentially an emotional depth-gauge, an audit of the heart if you will. It's not enough to simply be loved; he wants to know how far one would journey into the abyss of emotions for him. So next time someone questions your feelings, don't just tell them it's deep - show them, preferably with a Bee Gees soundtrack in the background!
