Underground
Escape and Echoes: Ariel Pink's 'Underground' Unveils a Blue-Greener Journey
Lyrics
I bought a gun so we could run away
The speaker purchased a gun to escape.
Slow down i gotta hear you stay
Asking someone to slow down because they want to listen and urge them to stay.
While I'm still a little blue for you
Expressing lingering sadness or melancholy feelings for the person addressed.
These eyes are just a little greener
The speaker feels envious or covetous.
In the garden its so damn easy to lose her
It's easy to lose someone in the metaphorical garden, possibly alluding to a relationship.
On the way we stop at grannys and she makes me chatter
Stopping at granny's place during the escape journey.
She makes me chatter like a newborn baby?
Wondering if the speaker chatters like a newborn baby due to the interaction with granny.
Underground underground
Repeating the desire to go underground, possibly metaphorically.
I stole a car so we could run away
Theft of a car as part of the escape plan.
Slow down i gotta hear you stay
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay and to slow down.
And I'm still a little blue for you
Continued feelings of sadness or longing for the addressed person.
These eyes are just a little greener
Reiteration of feeling envious or covetous.
In the garden its so damn easy to lose her
Reiteration of how easy it is to lose someone in the metaphorical garden.
On the way we stop at grannys
Repeated stop at granny's during the escape journey.
And she makes me chatter like a newborn baby
