about

"Underneath" delves into the profound truth that while we may attempt to bury our
feelings beneath layers of stoicism or indifference, they remain steadfastly rooted in the depths of our being, impossible to ignore or suppress.

The song eloquently captures the paradox of human emotion: the more we strive to hide our vulnerabilities, the more resolutely they assert themselves, demanding recognition and validation.

lyrics

You can say it’s ok, you can tell your white lies
Lie to me and pretend you’re above us all
but I can hear your cries

You can say life is great and that you’re standing tall
You can say great things ‘bout your goals in life
but you say nothing at all

You can say those words you can say them all
You can tell your lies you can tell them

Hide it all under the surface
Feel it crawl out of the dark
Underneath, it’s underneath
Hide it all under the surface
Feel it crawl out of the dark
Underneath, it’s underneath
You’re too scared to see what hides underneath

I can see the truth, you won’t fool me twice
You try to show the world that you better than all
but you pay the price

I can see it clear when I look in your eyes
That you feel all alone when you dry your tears
as you hide your doubts

You can say those words you can say them all
You can tell your lies you can tell them

Hide it all under the surface...
