Six Underground
The New Mastersounds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

take me down
6 underground
the ground beneath your feet
laid out low
nothing to go
nowhere a way to meet.

i've got a head full of drought
down here
so far off of losing out
round here
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace.

calm me down
bring it round
too way high off your street
i can see
like nothing else
in me
you're better than I wannabe
don't think 'cos i understand
i care,
don't think 'cos i'm talking
we're friends
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace

talk me down
safe and sound,
too strung up to sleep
wear me out
scream and shout
swear my time's never cheap
i fake my life like i've lived
too much,
i take whatever you're given; not enough,

Overground, watch this
space, I'm open
i fake my life like i've lived
too much,
i take whatever you're given; not enough,
Overground, watch this
space, I'm open




to falling
from grace.

Overall Meaning

The New Mastersounds's song Six Underground is a reflection on the struggles of life and the desire to escape from it all. The song speaks of the feeling of being trapped in a place where there is nothing to look forward to and nowhere to go. The first line, "take me down, 6 underground", suggests a desire to escape from reality.


The next lines, "the ground beneath your feet, laid out low, nothing to go, nowhere to meet," describe the feeling of being stuck in a place where there is no hope. The chorus, "Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace," suggests a willingness to take risks and try something new, even if it means failing.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and a desire for change. The lyrics, "calm me down, bring it round," and "talk me down, safe and sound," suggest a need for comfort and reassurance. However, the lines, "too way high off your street," and "wear me out, scream and shout," show a struggle with addiction and an inability to cope with the challenges of life.


Overall, Six Underground is a powerful and emotional reflection on the struggle of life and the desire for escape.
