Underground Lyrics

My first impression was that this was from the point-of-view of someone who had died, talking about all of the people who come and say goodbye to them, but while they're aware of all of this, of the people screaming, shouting, coming and leaving:

"[...]dried flowers in the air or place their feelings on the doorstep at first they try to understand and offer plans, most futile plans"

The doorstep I just imagined as the tombstone of the grave, people trying to cope and deal with losing this person.

i hear your voice, i hit the ground you look for me, but i'm not around in that small cafe, there i wrote it down i look for you, you were not around you're the burning lie that kills my child she's gone underground i've gone underground

This part seems like the someone he loved most, a lover perhaps, coming to visit. Now that I think about it, maybe its from the point of view of someone who committed suicide. "you're the burning lie that kills my child, she's gone underground" - or maybe something to do with abortion? Whatever the case, the person who died is still haunted by whatever it was this person said or did to him.

But this is all my first impression hearing it for the first time, I'm sure I'll have it playing on repeat for a while and might come up with something else/different. xD
