Underground
P. ROMERO Lyrics

He who thinks, thinks for himself
Independent thinking is a powerful tool for empowerment

A woman on trip, is a hit for the mind
Experiencing new things can be enriching and stimulating

A true composer's hell between tears
The creative process can be emotionally challenging

Or PM Dawn makes cause for rewind
Some music is worth revisiting and reflecting on

Megaline drops along upon a thought
Inspiration can come suddenly and unexpectedly

A comatose nap might snatch a sandy
Resting can help recharge the mind and body

I'm so great I amaze myself
Self-confidence is important for success

Explains, just how vain is vanity
Excessive focus on appearance or status is meaningless

The longest journey is based on a trip
The journey to achieve a goal can be long and challenging

But also starts with a single step
Every journey starts with a first step

Because Pleasant Valley Sunday is
The simplicity of everyday life is valuable

A grain of salt
Small details can add up to something significant

But "now or never's" a bit hard to accept
Taking risks and making big decisions can be scary

Doncha' think?
Asking for validation or agreement

Problems of the world, lovers, girls, and things of that nature bound
Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate

To break my heart
These challenges can be emotionally taxing

They all show different sides of me, they're all wrapped
Challenges reveal different aspects of oneself

Up inside of me
Internally processing these challenges

I feel certain awe for/but those who fall to find out they're in the
Admiration for those who find themselves in difficult situations

Shadows in the stars
Metaphor for feeling lost or uncertain

Even from a watcher's point of view.
Observation and reflection on these situations

Yo the world doesn't pay for what a person knows
Knowledge and intellectual abilities are undervalued

And rarely wants to pay for what a person does
People are often not compensated fairly for their work

But those who care show puzzle and stare
Those who value and appreciate one's efforts

Singin' what it is, is what it was
Reflecting on the reality of their situation

Cause he who learns the rules of wisdom
Understanding wisdom is important

Without transforming it to daily life
Applying wisdom to everyday situations is crucial

Is a bad condition of contradiction
Knowing what to do without doing it leads to inner conflict

A rap like that can slap back afterlife
Neglecting to live according to one's values can have negative consequences

All this twists and spins in a whirlwind
Life is full of unpredictable twists and turns

And spots the mask as to where it remains
Challenges can reveal underlying truths or hidden motives

On the opposite lane of a fortress bridge
Contrary to what one might expect

Or the thought that lives on the positive plane
Positive thinking and optimism can help navigate difficulties

Power to the world, Lover's gold, and bees and nature(?)
The things that are truly valuable in life

Not to break my heart
Acknowledging the importance of protecting oneself emotionally

They all shrunk off inside of me, they're all wrapped
Internalizing these values and experiences

I feel certain (?), of those who fall upon got the ring of shadow of
Unclear meaning, perhaps related to feeling connected to others in similar situations?

My heart
Emotional response to these challenges

(?) But these are the watcher's point of view
Unclear meaning, perhaps related to observing others in difficult situations

Reality and Death be they accompany life
Life is finite and limited by the inevitability of death

Eternity and Judgement accompany death
Uncertainty about what comes after death

The simplest thing to remember, really
Simplicity and basic truths can be powerful

Clog the fog of "my forget"
Overcoming forgetfulness or ignorance

Certain little mystery upon mankind lies
There are still unanswered questions about humanity

Certain arrogance, to the unexplained
Assuming knowledge or understanding when there is none

Pure imagination is based on fact
Imagination can be informed by reality

Showing the confusion is made to contain
Making sense of chaos can bring clarity

But the true definition of the phrase is a dream
Unclear meaning or reference?

A dream that encloses a question mark
Uncertainty or lack of clarity about a dream or idea

The end of an era in the halls of a mind
The conclusion of a significant period of personal growth or change

That should've been watched and clocked from the start
Acknowledging the importance of self-awareness and introspection

Maybe they just wanna twist my finger
Others may want to control or manipulate one's actions

Maybe they just wanna break my arm
Others may want to harm or incapacitate one's ability to act

Maybe they just wanna try and stop me
Resistance or opposition to one's efforts

Maybe they just wanna do me harm
Others may have malicious intentions or actions

Maybe they don't want my mouth to speak this
Attempts to silence or control one's speech or expression

Maybe they just wanna quiet momma
Unclear meaning, perhaps related to protecting someone close to oneself

But the minute I step to the rhythm of the left
Taking action in opposition or deviation from societal norms or expectations

That's the minute that they don't wanna leave me alone
Resistance or pushback from those who disapprove of one's actions or decisions
