Quote by Andréa- ”I have learned a lot over the past years and evolved greatly. I particularly learned what NOT to do as an artist. I don’t want to be known for this or that theme I might have done in the past, and I don’t want to have a label on my forehead. I want to be known for being an artist, a person who loves to explore, goes her own way and is not afraid to stand alone."
"I realised that personal art comes from within. It speaks to everyone, it goes beyond fasades and ideologies, it just connects to the pain of the heart that everyone knows in their own way. I had to learn early in life to fight, and I'm not afraid to do so. I like to connect to individuals that also have the darkness inside and that experienced hardships... ”

Underworld
Nebelhexë Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I close my eyes
Waiting for the stranger in me
To come alive
Say goodbye to the descending sun
Leave me a crimson sky
With a faint kiss
We are...
We are... walking at the edge of light
Vanished into fog that night
We are (undead)
We are (forever alive)
Stars in a gloomy show
Puppets that faded long ago
Why do you feel doomed?
When you realise
That when you can hear through walls
You had come alive
Feel the vibrant sounds
Feel the pulse
How can they demonise
The real form of life?
We are...
The lyrics to Nebelhexë's song Underworld speak to the feeling of being alone and waiting for a change, a transformation of sorts. The singer closes their eyes and waits for the "stranger in me" to come alive. The imagery associated with this feeling is that of a descending sun and a crimson sky, with a faint kiss. The chorus is about walking at the edge of light and vanished into the fog, emphasizing the feeling of being lost and alone. The singer's voice becomes more desperate as they sing about being undead and forever alive, puppets that faded long ago. The song concludes with a plea to embrace the real form of life, to feel the vibrant sounds and the pulse.
The lyrics of Underworld are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest themes of defiance against society's expectations, an embrace of life even in the face of death, and a longing for connection with something larger. The song's title, Underworld, conjures up images of darkness, death, and mystery, and the lyrics reflect those ideas. The use of metaphors, such as closing one's eyes and waiting for the stranger in me, adds to the dreamlike quality of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
All alone in here
I'm by myself in this place
I close my eyes
I shut my eyes and wait
Waiting for the stranger in me
To come alive
I'm anticipating the unfamiliar part of myself to awaken
Say goodbye to the descending sun
Leave me a crimson sky
With a faint kiss
As the sun sets, I want a red sky with a gentle goodbye
We are...
We are... walking at the edge of light
Vanished into fog that night
We exist on the border of light and shadow, evanesce into the mist of the night
We are (undead)
We are (forever alive)
Stars in a gloomy show
Puppets that faded long ago
We're the living dead, continually exultant, acting out a play with no resolution
Why do you feel doomed?
When you realise
That when you can hear through walls
You had come alive
What reason is there to feel condemned? Because, when you can hear what others can't, you've become lively
Feel the vibrant sounds
Feel the pulse
How can they demonise
The real form of life?
Experience the lively noises and tempo, how can they degrade the true manifestation of life?
