the place where pressure crushes submarines but jellyfish just keep vibing.

means Extending far down or far in from the surface, edge, or outside — physically, intellectually, or emotionally.

from From Old English 'dēop,' going back to the same ancient Germanic root that gives us 'dip' and 'dive' — a family of words all about going downward into something. Cousins survive across the Germanic languages, like Dutch 'diep' and German 'tief.' The metaphorical 'deep' (deep thoughts, deep feelings) is nearly as old as the literal one; humans have long imagined the mind and heart as places with their own dark fathoms.
