| Tom Waits – Underground Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| While I don't think this is the intended interpretation, I've always taken this song's lyrics as being literal, having the song be about a man discovering an underground civilization made up of large, black, groaning skeleton or skeleton-like creatures. Maybe they aren't creatures at all, but rather robots, golems, or automatons of some sort? Perhaps the roots he mentions are some sort of wiring, such as those you'd see on telephone poles? | |
