Under The Floor Again
Subterranean Descent: Seeking Solace Below
Lyrics
Under the floor again
Expressing a sense of being beneath or inferior, possibly metaphorically.
Once I was up and in the air but now I'm down
Reflecting a fall from a higher position or status to a lower one.
Goodbye to all my friends
Bidding farewell to companions.
Forget I ever was the mole goes underground
Choosing to be forgotten or unnoticed, adopting a hidden or secretive role.
Under the floor again
Reiteration of the feeling of being beneath or concealed.
Eight years of hide and seek no peek of me is seen
Eight years of avoiding attention, staying hidden.
I skip the law again
Evading legal consequences, possibly engaging in unlawful activities.
The to and fro the come and go and miss the scene
Describing a pattern of movement and interaction while avoiding notice.
But who was the girl we saw last night
Puzzlement about an unidentified girl witnessed the night before.
Wearing a frock and gown she's kinda paralysed
Describing the girl's appearance and state of being paralyzed.
A door in the floor a head materialised
Introducing a mysterious element - a head materializing through a door in the floor.
I'm sure that I saw a face I recognised
Expressing uncertainty about recognizing a face in this strange context.
Don't say a word
Emphasizing silence and a desire for peace.
Just stay here at my leisure
Encouraging someone to remain in a relaxed state.
No sound is heard
Highlighting the absence of noise or disturbance.
Can't take my simple pleasures
Being unable to enjoy simple pleasures due to the current situation.
Like walking in the park
Referencing the enjoyment of leisure activities like walking in the park.
And taking in the air
Indicating the desire for fresh air and outdoor experiences.
Just lock me in the dark
Expressing dissatisfaction with confinement in darkness.
It's no fun
Stating that the current situation is not enjoyable.
Under the floor again
Reiteration of being under or beneath something.
My baccy bets and beer are here and all I need
Listing basic necessities and suggesting a confined, minimalistic life.
I'm feeling sore again
Indicating physical discomfort or pain.
Three feet of life is all I have and rats to feed
Describing a limited and challenging existence.
Won't say a word
Emphasizing the need for silence and calm.
Just stay here at my leisure
Encouraging someone to remain in a relaxed state (repeated).
No sound is heard
Highlighting the absence of noise or disturbance (repeated).
Can't take my simple pleasures
Being unable to enjoy simple pleasures due to the current situation (repeated).
Like breathing in the air
Referencing the enjoyment of clean air, contrasting with the recent past.
It's cleaner than the stuff
Commenting on the purity of the air.
I've had in recent months
Comparing the cleanliness of the air to previous experiences.
It's no fun
Reiteration that the current situation is not enjoyable (repeated).
Under the floor again
Repeating the theme of being under or beneath something.
Once I was up and in the air but now I'm down
Reflecting on a past state of being elevated and now being in a lower state.
