Neverwhere
Heaven & Hell Lyrics

She made the night
She crafted the darkness of night, and is therefore in control of it.

But the dark's all right
She is content with the darkness she's created, and finds it to be sufficient on its own.

And his heart became the hunter
Her partner is now pursuing something with great intensity, driven by his desires.

A deadly bride
She is characterized as someone with the power to kill, yet is still a bride- a being of beauty, wonder, and purity.

It's suicide
The risk he is taking is one that can end his life.

So take it slow
He must not rush into whatever it is he is pursuing, but instead be cautious and measured.

Waiting alone for the witching hour
She is waiting for the prime hour of activity, when the sorceress's powers reach their zenith.

Feeling the shock and the surge of power
She is thrilled by the potency and eminence of her magical abilities.

She's come to know
She has gained wisdom through her experiences and must use that knowledge for her own ends.

She makes her way to the door forbidden
She enters through the restricted door, one that others are barred from using.

Tomorrow she'll say that she did not really go there
She knows that her transgressions will be met with disapproval, so she will deny them when confronted.

To neverwhere
She is going somewhere unknown, a mysterious location that is beyond the familiar realm of reality.

And then the child
A younger, more innocent person is introduced into the song.

Strange free and wild
This new person is different, unorthodox in the way they approach life.

The picture of the mother
Despite their differences, this person bears a striking resemblance to their mother.

The same cold eyes
Their eyes are identical in temperament and emotion to their mother's.

The same old lies
This person also tells the same lies and stories as their mother, one who may be manipulative.

The same as one another
Overall, this new person is not truly unique from their mother, reflecting a perpetuation of patterns and repetition.

Together they wait for the witching hour
The younger and older protagonists both anticipate the heightened time of magical activity in the near future.

Felling the heat and the push of power
They both feel the energy surge and emanate throughout the hours leading up to the witching hour.

They need to know
They are anxious to find answers and uncover more about the world around them.

Left behind he's the uninvited
A character is ostracized and excluded from events or ceremonies, much to their dismay.

Maybe the door will open if he
There is still a chance that he can be welcomed, even though the odds may be against him.

Waits there
He is patient and determined, and is willing to wait for an opportunity to arise.

At neverwhere
He too is seeking an unknown place or state that exists beyond our conventional understanding of the world.

The hand that rocks the cradle in the morning
A caregiver who appears kind and harmless can have an ulterior motive or sinister side.

Could be lurking round the corner with a gun
They can become dangerous and wield great power despite their initially innocuous demeanor.

Before you take the time to say I'm sorry
One should not take unnecessary risks when dealing with a potential danger or threat, as they may not have the chance to make amends afterward.

Remember where she's been
It is important to heed history and learn from past experiences to avoid repeating mistakes.

And all the misery she's done
The person in question has caused much pain and harm in the past, potentially through manipulative or malicious means.

And then the prize
An ultimate goal or objective is now on the line.

Time to decide
A choice must now be made and acted upon by the characters involved.

But one last voice
A final warning or remark is given, perhaps as to the potential dangers of the impending decision.

Be careful
The characters should exercise caution and take heed of the risks involved before proceeding.

It's just too strong
The temptation or opportunity before them is difficult to resist or ignore, given its immense power or allure.

And he must belong
He feels a need to be a part of this mystical, alluring world and to embrace the power and energy it offers.

So down we go
The characters descend down into the unknown, thereby accepting the unknown risks and consequences involved.

Waiting for the witching hour
They continue to anticipate the witching hour, marks the peak of their mystical pursuits.

Needing the shock and the surge of power
Both protagonists crave the rush of magical energy, which affects and drives them in different ways.

He wants to know
One character, in particular, is driven by a desire for knowledge and to find answers, no matter the cost.

They make their way down to the door forbidden
The characters are undaunted by the possibility of transgressing laws or breaking social conventions, as long as it gets them closer to the unknown source of their magical energies.

She waves him in at last
She permits and invites him to come closer and become a part of her mystical, powerful world.

And he's gone there
The character in question succumbs to the lure of the unknown, fully embracing it and all its dark powers.

To neverwhere
The place or state of existence that both protagonists have sought after, eager to attain their mystical desires within it.

Neverwhere
The embodiment of a dark, mystical, alluring realm that is advanced yet still beyond our current understanding.
