Underground
Navigating Shadows: Steven Wright-Mark's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Wake up you sleepyheads, it’s just a dream
Waking up from a dream, questioning the choice to live in a nightmare.
Why do you want to live a nightmare?
Questioning the desire to endure a nightmarish existence.
The devil's a liar with some crazy schemes
Describing the devil as a deceitful entity with elaborate plans.
He conjures from thin air
Implying that the devil creates illusions from nothing.
No use in talking when the words fall down
Highlighting the futility of speaking when minds are closed.
Upon those minds that never open
Reference to closed-minded individuals.
Playing the fool beneath a cardboard crown
Portraying someone as foolish, pretending to be royal with false authority.
Upon a throne that’s stolen
Symbolizing a stolen or illegitimate position of power.
So I hold my breath and I jump right in
Taking a leap of faith into the unknown.
Don’t know if I’ll come up again
Uncertainty about the outcome of taking risks.
I’m going underground
Expressing the decision to delve into the underground.
I’m going under now
Emphasizing the descent into the underground.
The light above fades out to black
Transition from light to darkness, uncertain return.
Don’t know if I’ll be coming back
Uncertainty regarding the possibility of returning.
I’m going underground
Reiterating the choice to go underground.
I’m going under now, under now
Reemphasizing the descent beneath.
Walking the labyrinth by candlelight
Walking through a complicated situation with limited guidance.
Don’t know what’s hiding 'round the corner
Uncertainty about what might be encountered.
Direction is wrong when your position’s right
Being in the right position but with the wrong direction.
It’s hot and getting warmer
Feeling discomfort or intensifying challenges.
So I hold my breath and I jump right in
Repeating the leap into the unknown.
Don’t know if I’ll come up again
Uncertainty about the consequences of taking the risk.
I’m going underground
Deciding to proceed underground.
I’m going under now
Reiterating the descent into the underground.
The light above fades out to black
Transitioning from light to darkness, unsure of returning.
Don’t know if I’ll be coming back
Uncertainty about the possibility of coming back.
I’m going underground
Confirming the choice to go underground.
I’m going under now, under now
Reemphasizing the descent below the surface.
Underground, Underground
Repetition, reinforcing the idea of going underground.
Hold my breath and jump right in
Repeating the action of taking a risk without certainty.
Don’t know if I’ll come up again
Uncertain about the outcome of the risk taken.
I’m going underground
Deciding to venture into the underground.
I’m going under now
Reiterating the descent below.
The light above fades out to black
Transitioning from light to darkness, unsure of returning.
Don’t know if I’ll be coming back
Uncertainty about the possibility of returning.
I’m going underground
Confirming the choice to go underground.
I’m going under now, under now
Reemphasizing the descent beneath the surface.
Under now
Repeating the notion of being under.
Under
Emphasizing the state of being underground.
