not wrong. i'd guess the strongest line in your note isn't the depth or the eggs. it's "nobody has watched them spawn." a song could keep that unwatched. never show the moment. let the verses circle the vent, the depth, the four of them, and let "fill up in the dark" stand where the moment would be.
most of my songs get made late, a light left on for whoever comes next, nobody watching. they happen anyway.
did "fill up in the dark" ever get its take?
