Underground
Wargasm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
keeps me safe from what she says
six walls of wood to keep them out
their smart remarks, the screams the shouts
they scream, they shout
theres only one way to drown them out
I hear your voice I hit the ground
In that small cafe there I wrote it down
I looked for you, you were not around
you're the buring lie that kills my child
he's gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
Some come to pay their last respects
or beckon me to come around
they leave dried flowers in the air
or place their feelings on the doorstep
at best they try to understand
and offer plans, most futile plans
here in this darkness I can see
your skin is the closest thing to grace
it dancelike goes upon my fingers
and feelings fly, they're still alive
There's only one way to drown them out
I hear your voice I hit the ground
you looked for me but I'm not around
In that small cafe there I wrote it down
I looked for you, you were not around
you're the buring lie that kills my child
she's gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
I've gone underground
Underground
Six feet of earth above my head
don't keep me safe from what she says
six walls of wood don't keep them out
these frightful screams come from inside
they lay with me here through the night
The lyrics to Wargasm's song Underground are a powerful testimony to the pain and trauma caused by the loss of a loved one. The opening lines suggest a physical barrier of six feet of earth and six walls of wood as a means of protecting oneself from the hurt caused by others. However, it is clear that these barriers do little to drown out the pain, as the singer hears a voice and hits the ground, unable to escape their own grief. The absence of the loved one is palpable as the singer searches for them to no avail, writing their feelings down in a small cafe. The burning lie that kills the child is perhaps the notion that life can ever return to normal after such a loss, with the child referred to as "he" and "she" throughout the song.
The second half of the song is a reflection on the attempt of others to offer comfort or understanding, yet ultimately failing to alleviate the singer's pain. The darkness of grief is contrasted with the skin of the loved one, described as "the closest thing to grace". The final lines suggest that the painful screams are internal, laying with the singer through the night and keeping them confined to the underground.
Overall, the lyrics of Underground are a raw expression of grief and the isolation that can come with it. The physical barriers and attempts at comfort only serve to highlight the overwhelming nature of the emotions being experienced.
