When I'm Small Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in between

Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in too deep

Show me love
You've got your hand on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Lucy's underground
She's never comin' back
Am I still alive
Or has the light gone black

Take me underground
Take me all the way
Bring me to the fire
Throw me in the flame

So, show me love
You've got your hands on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now

I'd rather die
I'd rather die
Than to be with you

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh (than to be with you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh (I'd rather die)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

The repeated references to being "underground" could symbolize feelings of isolation or being stuck in a dark place emotionally. The line "Lucy's underground, she's got a mouth to feed" might suggest the pressures of responsibility and societal expectations. The chorus "show me love" contrasts with the harsh statement "I'd rather die than be with you," indicating a tumultuous relationship where longing for affection clashes with deep-seated resentment or disappointment. Overall, this song conveys an intense struggle between desire for connection and the pain that can come with it. #EmotionalConflict #ExistentialCrisis
