Underground
Michael Bradley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know what, but I feel it in the air...
Maybe we ought to run,
If you listen close, we'll let you know just where.
Just listen to me tonight.
Maybe you can pretend,
But the world we know might not come to an end.
But you must realize
Don't talk in your sleep,
Because the walls might have ears.
And it's only fair,
That we should take you there.
(Chorus) Maybe we should all go underground
And try to live a life without the sun.
Please be careful not to make a sound,
Because there may not be room for everyone.
(Do you think you might...)
You may not understand,
But I really feel our fate is in our hands.
And if you follow us,
We'll lead you to a place where we can be.
Don't talk in your sleep,
Listen to me tonight.
We must prepare,
Cause we have to go somewhere.
(Chorus)
Do you think you're gonna miss the summertime,
And the sunshine on your face?
And if you think you're gonna miss the wintertime,
What if the winter never goes away?
(Chorus, repeat)
The song "Underground" by Michael Bradley is a mysterious and thought-provoking tune that speaks to the sense of impending doom that many people feel at some point in their lives. The opening lines, "There's something going on, and I don't know what, but I feel it in the air" set the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the need to escape from an uncertain future. Bradley urges his listeners to pay close attention to the signs around them, and suggests that they "listen close, [and] we'll let you know just where" they should go. He acknowledges that it may be difficult for some to accept the possibility of a world-ending event, but he insists that it's necessary to prepare for the worst.
Throughout the song, Bradley uses evocative language to create a sense of urgency and danger. He warns listeners not to "talk in [their] sleep, [because] the walls might have ears" and emphasizes that "we have to go somewhere" in order to survive. The chorus, which urges listeners to "go underground" and "try to live a life without the sun," is a powerful metaphor for the need to escape from an uncertain future and find a place of safety.
Overall, "Underground" is a haunting and deeply thoughtful song that encourages listeners to be aware of the world around them and take action to protect themselves and their loved ones. It speaks to the universal human desire for safety and security in the face of an uncertain future, and provides a powerful reminder that we must all work together to create a better world.
