Underground Resistance Lyrics

Oow
Sound effect indicating a change in tone or mood.

Yeah, you know they're gonna bring it down now
The destruction of something is imminent, and it's a known fact.

They're gonna wreck it down, yeah
The thing that is going to be destroyed is going to be completely ruined.

Something's come to rock me
The artist is suddenly experiencing a disturbance or difficulty.

And I can't keep my head
The disturbance is causing the artist to lose their composure or become overwhelmed.

I've never seen the New York city streets
The singer is inexperienced and unfamiliar with the situation they are facing.

When my leg'ers still treads
Despite their inexperience, the singer is determined to keep moving forward.

I know I'm still better off standin' in the shadows
The artist feels that staying hidden and avoiding attention is the safer option.

Far from humans with guns
The danger comes from people with weapons.

But now it's too late, there's no escape
Despite their precautions, the artist is now trapped and cannot avoid the impending danger.

From what they have done, come on
The destruction that is about to be unleashed has been caused by others.

I'm goin' deeper underground
The only option left for the artist is to retreat further away from the danger.

There's too much panic in this town
The fear and chaos caused by the destruction have spread throughout the entire area.

Well, I got to go deeper
The singer realizes that they need to go even deeper underground to stay safe.

Got to go much deeper, yeah
The singer is emphasizing the urgency and importance of their need to hide.

Ah, yeah, they're gonna wreck it down, yeah
The threat of destruction is still very real and present.

Step do, down, down, down, hey, hey
Rhythmic repetition of the phrase 'step down', adding to the sense of impending collapse.

Some people with a pocket full of money
The people responsible for the destruction have financial power.

And an eye full of hate
Their intentions are malicious and hateful.

Take your pleasure with destruction
The people responsible are deriving pleasure from the destruction they are causing.

Of everything that they try to create
Their goal is to destroy anything that other people have built or created.

Somebody tell me why this own mankind
The artist questions why humans are willing to destroy everything around them.

Only tip of them touch
The people responsible for destruction only need to make slight contact in order to cause great harm.

Heaven, help them when they bite off more
The people responsible will suffer the consequences of their actions when they realize they have done something they cannot handle.

Than they can chew and now it's too much
The destruction has gone beyond what the people responsible can handle and they have caused irreparable damage.

There's too much panic in this town
The situation has escalated to the point of causing widespread panic.

There's too much panic in this town

I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin' deeper underground
