This song was inspired by the Don Delillo novel Underworld ("I read it in Delillo like they'd written it to me") which is about the various underworlds that crosscut the 'mainstream' world ("There is a world inside the world that you see"), and how all these underworlds create the world we live in. I can see the connection to Sept. 11th ("If love is all around us, then how could this have found us?") but that also can be read as commentary on some of the characters in Underworld. This song is why I bought Underworld, and it took a while but I finally read it. It's a fantastic book.
