The Underground
Exploring the Shadows: Unveiling Desires in The Viretta Saints' 'The Underground'
Lyrics
Illustrious illusions
Illusions that are highly admired or respected.
Feeding my confusions
Confusions fueled or sustained by something.
I'm a virgin in my mind
Metaphorical innocence in thoughts or ideas.
But a slut for the street light
Despite mental purity, a willingness to engage in risky behavior.
Naughty twisted whisper
A seductive and mischievous whisper.
Body of a sinner
Physical appearance suggesting a person who commits sins.
You could explore
Permission to explore, possibly for a price.
For a few dollars more
Opportunity for additional exploration with increased payment.
But only if you last longer
Duration matters in the offered exploration.
Pick your price tag
Choose the cost for the offered services.
And I am yours
The speaker can be 'yours' for the chosen price.
Take my humanity
Trade humanity for disdain or contempt.
And give me scorn
Exchange for scorn or open disrespect.
In this world
Existence in a world where rebirth is impossible.
You can't be reborn
The underground, a place that prevents rebirth.
The underground
Reference to the mysterious and hidden realm.
The underground
Emphasizing the influence of the underground.
Drags you down
The underground has a dragging, negative impact.
The underground
Repetition emphasizing the adverse effects.
The underground
Reiterating the impact of the underground.
Get me out of this
Expressing a desire to escape the current place or situation.
Town
Yearning to leave the town.
Priestess of my prayers
A woman with spiritual significance in the speaker's prayers.
Whispers futile answers
Whispers providing ineffective or useless answers.
How can it get
Questioning the difficulty surpassing current challenges.
Much harder
Dreams moving farther away, becoming more challenging.
Than your dreams drifting farther
Alleyways congested, representing life's obstacles.
Clogged up alleyways
Implying a time constraint, urgency.
It's getting late
A warning to stay away.
Stay away
Reinforcing the advice to keep a distance.
Oh stay away
Rejecting a focus on the present, living for the future.
I don't live for today
A sense of anticipation for what comes next.
I'm waiting for tomorrow
Waiting for a better future, not satisfied with the present.
The underground
Reiteration of the influence and impact of the underground.
The underground
Continued emphasis on the underground's role.
Drags you down
Reiterating the negative pull of the underground.
The underground
Emphasizing the dragging nature of the underground.
The underground
Stating the continued impact of the underground.
Get me out of this
Repeating the desire to escape the current location.
Town
Reaffirming the wish to leave the town.
