Underground
Awakening Fear and Serenity: Exploring the Underground
Lyrics
I'm awake
I am awake
I know 'cause I'm afraid
I am aware because I feel fear
Of every little thing
Fear of every little thing
It makes me think of you
These things remind me of you
You're so serene
You possess a calm and peaceful demeanor
Underneath your wit
Beneath your cleverness or humor
You're watching me
You are observing me
Tripping my saddle shoes
Causing me to stumble in my saddle shoes (metaphor for feeling awkward)
Better shoot me down
It would be better to be defeated or rejected
To that bold, bold underground
To reach that daring, unconventional underground space
Save me
A plea for help
Save me
Repetition of the plea for emphasis
Quiet now
Be silent now
It's time to say your prayer
Time to offer your prayers
God is near
God is close
They say he's watching you
People say he is watching you
Better shoot me down
Similar to line 11, suggesting a preference for rejection to enter the unconventional underground
To that bold, bold underground
To reach that daring, unconventional underground space, repeating the plea for help
Save me
Repetition of the plea for emphasis
Better shoot me down
Similar to lines 11 and 21, expressing a desire to be defeated or rejected for a specific purpose
To that bold, bold underground
To reach that daring, unconventional underground space, repeating the plea for help
Save me
Repetition of the plea for emphasis
Save me
-I believe
Expressing belief
Shhh
Repetition of belief, emphasized with "Shhh" indicating a secretive or private nature
I believe
-Shhh
-I believe
-Shhh
-I believe
-Shhh
-Shhh
