Subterranean Lyrics

Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been diggin' in down inside
I will start again, subterranean

But the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky
Yet the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky

You might think you know me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

You might think you own me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

Buried my heart, cannot go this alone, oh no
Poison this house, God in the stone
Oh no, you don't

Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been diggin' in down inside
I will start again, subterranean

But the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky

You might think you owe me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

I might think you love me
But I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

Bring all your lies leave them deep in the dirt
Oh no, you don't
Pull down my eyes
Lay me deep in the earth
Oh no, you don't

Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been diggin' in down inside
I will start again, subterranean

What is the Meaning of Subterranean?

This track delves into the realm of introspection and self-renewal. The protagonist appears to have experienced a profound emotional exhaustion, symbolized by phrases like "nothing left within" and "I've been mined." Yet, there's a determination to start anew ("I will start again"), suggesting resilience in the face of adversity. The repeated use of "subterranean" hints at an internal exploration or an excavation of one’s psyche. It also reflects the process of unearthing hidden truths which can be harsh and uncomfortable. The song further explores themes of misunderstanding and disillusionment in relationships, as seen in lines like "You might think you know me" or "I might think you love me." Overall, it encapsulates the struggle for self-understanding and rebirth amidst relational discord. #SelfDiscovery #Resilience #RelationshipStruggles
