ocean depths

Where light fades

Ocean depths refers to the deep parts of the sea, typically far below the surface where light doesn't penetrate.

The phrase often emphasizes remoteness, mystery, or pressure: creatures of the ocean depths, the wreck lies in the ocean depths.

Figuratively, it suggests something hidden or unfathomable: She kept her feelings buried in the ocean depths of her heart.
