Undertaker
Journey Through Otherworldly Desires: Undertaker by Marissa Nadler
Lyrics
And I was your undertaker
Symbolic role of providing closure and dealing with the aftermath, possibly in a relationship context.
I was your highway girl
Metaphorical representation as a companion or partner on life's journey.
I was your bitter taste
Being associated with a challenging or unpleasant experience.
Of every other world
The negative essence of various experiences from different dimensions or aspects of life.
You wake in the maddening morning
Waking up to a confusing or disorienting reality, possibly filled with chaos.
You wake in the firelight world
Existence in a world characterized by intense emotions or challenges.
You wait for your [firmer?] dancer
Awaiting someone who was more stable or reliable in the past, possibly a metaphorical dancer.
From every other world
Expectation of a figure from a different realm or experience.
And I was your undertaker
Reiteration of the undertaker role, emphasizing its significance.
And I was your ivory girl
Reference to a pure or precious aspect of the past, perhaps lost or changed.
And I was your bitter taste
Continuation of the association with a challenging or unpleasant taste.
Of every other world
Echoing the negative essence from different realms or experiences.
And I wait for the trains
A patient wait for a means of returning to a past state or situation.
To ride me back
Expressing a desire to go back, possibly to a simpler or more familiar existence.
To some highway world
Reference to a highway world, a metaphor for a particular life path or journey.
And I wait for the trains
Repetition of the longing for a return, using the symbolism of trains.
To ride me back
Continued anticipation of a journey back to another dimension or experience.
To some other world
Expressing the desire to return to an alternate world or reality.
