"Rise from the Deep" is about whales but also about us. The whales represent (to me) some of the last magical large creatures still with us. Theyre kind of like dinosaurs or dragons in this way - a bit mythical but not. In a similar vein anyway. And the story there is that most other big creatures are extinct or heading that way. They're precious and few. And we're very lucky that we still have them around (thanks often to the efforts of some select few humans). The whales are rare and magical and precious.
They are rising from the deep which in this piece is representative of rising from darkness, despair, extinction you name it. In this sense, the whales are us rising from dimness, darkness, depression, drudgery. The whales are taking a breath of fresh air and a glimpse of the cosmos. Much like we may do when we break out of our sometimes dank minds/states of mind, to take a fresh breath of perspective or look at the night sky and remember where we came from.
