Underground
Adam Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like I'm in one second in time, I'm frozen
When you're gone, when you're gone
It's like I lost one half of my mind, stolen
'Cause nobody feels you like I do
Nobody kills me like you do
Nothing I take can ever cut through
I look at myself and I don't know
How I'm stuck to ya like velcro
Can't rip you off and go solo
I'm in trouble
I'm hooked on how you made
Me hooked I'm gonna say it straight
I want you I need you
I want you to take me underground
I'm hooked I can't cut ya off
In my blood I'm gonna say it now
I want you I need you
I want you to take me underground
I'm hooked on how you made
Me hooked I'm gonna say it straight
I want you I need you
I want you to take me underground
I'm hooked I can't cut ya off
In my blood I'm gonna say it now
I want you I need you
I want you to take me underground
When you go, when you go
It's like I put my life on the line it's so hurt
When you go, when you go
I'm trippin' but I'm pretending I'm fine, so dumb
'Cause nobody feels you like I do
Nobody kills me like you do
Nothing I take can ever cut through
I'm in trouble
I look at myself and I don't know
How I'm stuck to ya like velcro
Can't rip you off and go solo
I'm in trouble
I'm hooked on how you made
Me hooked I'm gonna say it straight
I want you I need you
I want you to take me underground
I'm hooked I can't cut ya off

The lyrics of Adam Lambert’s song “Underground” are about a person who is hopelessly addicted to their lover, unable to detach themselves from the relationship even when their partner is absent. The first verse describes the desperate feeling that the person experiences when their lover is gone, explaining that it feels like they are frozen in time and that they have lost a part of themselves. The second verse continues to describe this feeling, but the person attempts to pretend that they are fine, even though they are hurting.
The chorus expresses the person’s belief that no one can understand their feelings for their lover as deeply as they do, and that their lover has a power over them that they cannot explain or escape. The person is aware that the relationship is problematic, but they are so addicted to their lover that they cannot let go. The repetition of the phrase “I’m hooked” emphasizes the person’s dependency, and the desire to be taken underground implies a secret, exciting, or dangerous aspect to the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of “Underground” describe someone who is trapped in a toxic, addictive relationship from which they cannot break free. The song touches on the idea that sometimes, we become so addicted to a person that we lose ourselves in the process, and we are unable to function without them.

@amaziing22
Yeah why do they not play his songs on the radio
@Jason-tz7ir
You answered your own question. Quality doesn't belong on the radio anymore.
@isaacandrews5330
Its all about what the labels think are radio worthy singles.
@MartiMcfly-mf9pq
Damn listening to these songs making me feel like 12 years old again with a YouTube playlist of all his music and cleaning the kitchen at 3 am with a friend to suprise my mom. Omg he got me through so much down to depression, gaining friends, partying, relaxing, everything! He’s a legend forever in my soul and mind. I love you Adam ❤️❤️
@deagantje
His new music is his most grown up material ever.
Heartfelt, dark, sweet, serious.
It's like honey on a needle.
Want to you know.. pursue, but you know it will sting.
