Underworld
Duologue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about you all of the time,
One of yours...
Back and forth, go back and forth,
Go back and forth all of your life,
Back and forth, go back and forth
You think you really want it, you know that you don't,
You think you really want it but you know that you don't,
You know that you don't 'cos it's
One of yours, it's one of mine,
I think about you all of the time,
One of yours...
I think about you all of the time
Building dreams, we're building dreams,
Just keep dancing 'til the music stops,
Building dreams, we're building dreams
You think you really want it, you know that you don't,
You think you really want it but you know that you don't,
You think you really want it, you know that you don't,
You know that you don't
You say you will be sorry, I know that I won't,
You say you will be sorry but I know that I won't,
You say you will be sorry, I know that I won't,
I'm coming down, coming down,
Gonna fetch you from the underworld,
I'll bring you back, I'll bring you back
Nobody ever comes close
Nobody ever comes close
Nobody ever comes close
Nobody ever comes close
Think about you all
Think about you all
Think about you all
Think about you all
You think you really want it, you know that you dont
I think about you all of the time
Think about you all
Think about you all
All of the time
You say you will be sorry (I know that I wont)
I think about you all... of the time
I think about you all of the time
I'm coming down, coming down,
Gonna fetch you from the underworld,
I'll bring you back, I'll bring you back.
The lyrics of Duologue's song Underworld are open to interpretation, as is common with many songs. However, the repeated phrases "One of yours, it's one of mine, I think about you all of the time" could suggest a struggle between two individuals or two sides, where each person has something the other wants or needs, but they are unable to come to an agreement or compromise. The back and forth motion in the lyrics further emphasizes this struggle, as it implies a lack of progress or resolution.
The next verse, "Building dreams, we're building dreams, just keep dancing 'til the music stops" could be interpreted as a metaphor for trying to achieve something or reach a goal. It suggests that one must keep moving or working until they reach the end or until the music stops. However, the conflicting lyrics, "You think you really want it, you know that you don't" suggest that what one person desires may not be what they truly need or want, and they may need to reassess their goals. The phrase "fetch you from the underworld" suggests a journey or struggle to overcome obstacles or challenges in order to bring the two sides together.
Overall, the song Underworld uses poetic language and repeated phrases to convey a sense of struggle, conflict, and the need for resolution.
