Analysis of Lost in the Underground



I'm stuck down here in the underground
I'm sick of this boring little town
I wanna go where the stars are bound
I wanna be the one that holds the crown

starting to see what life is about
still can choose; belief or doubt?
When I'll is heard is a silent shout
How much longer 'til I get out?
