deeper sense
Significance beyond surface
A deeper sense is a meaning or understanding beneath the surface—what something signifies beyond its literal or obvious interpretation.
The phrase often appears when someone moves past superficial readings: In a deeper sense, the novel is about mortality.
It can also describe intuitive awareness: She had a deeper sense that something was wrong.
