Underworld
Brody Dalle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's where I'll go when the map runs out
I want a clean slate, kissing the morgue
On my knees swallowing swords
Ouroboros
I want to go down to Mexico, hear the horns sing in Jalisco
Lift the veils of the ancient west
Ouroboros
All things were, are, will be out of one
Through one and to one
All things were, are, will be
To be crowning endlessly
Experience every land and sea
I want to Love you inside me
Forever mine, primordially
Ouroboros
All things were, are, will be out of one
Through one and to one
All things were, are, will be
The lyrics to Brody Dalle's song "Underworld" are intriguing and poetic. The singer begins by stating that she has a place in the underworld, where she will go when the map runs out. This is an interesting metaphor, suggesting that when she has explored all that the world has to offer, she will turn to the underworld for further exploration. She then expresses her desire for a clean slate, using the imagery of kissing the morgue and swallowing swords to suggest a willingness to accept death and start anew. The repetition of "Ouroboros" throughout the song adds to this theme of renewal and regeneration, as it refers to the ancient symbol of a serpent or dragon eating its own tail to represent infinity and the cyclical nature of life.
The second verse continues the theme of exploration and discovery, with the singer expressing a desire to go to Mexico and experience the culture there. She also references the "old crones," suggesting a fascination with ancient wisdom and the supernatural. The final verse brings together the themes of unity and eternal love, with the singer desiring to experience everything the world has to offer and love deeply, both physically and spiritually. Overall, "Underworld" is a powerful and introspective song that explores themes of mortality, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all things.

I got a place in the underworld
I have a place in the dark and hidden world, away from the surface
That's where I'll go when the map runs out
I'll resort to this place when I've exhausted all other options
I want a clean slate, kissing the morgue
I want to start over afresh, even if it means coming close to death
On my knees swallowing swords
I'm willing to go through whatever it takes to achieve my goals
Ouroboros
The cycle of death and rebirth; the eternal return
