about

In Neil Gaiman's novel 'Neverwhere', Anaesthesia was born in London Above. When she was a teenager, she slipped to London Below and found a life among the Rat Speakers. When Richard Mayhew falls through the cracks after rescuing Door, Anaesthesia helps guide him. She's lost to the night for her troubles, leaving only a broken bead from her necklace behind. Richard carries it in his pocket as a talisman.

lyrics

I met you underneath the earth
Between the old and new
In a city built upon itself
Adjacent to the truth

I’m everywhere and never there
I’m upside and I’m down
I’ll take you to the darkest place
And lead you underground
And when you face your deepest fears
When you’re caught in their trap
Remember, hold me in your mind and
Mind the gap

I left you as we crossed the void
In a move that felt so slight
On a bridge that arched above the world
I faded into night

I’m everywhere and never there
I’m upside and I’m down
I’ll take you to the darkest place
And lead you underground
And when you face your deepest fears
When you’re caught in their trap
Remember, hold me in your mind and
Mind the gap

Together we will find the Door
And you’ll face down your Minotaur
I’ll tell a tale inside your thoughts
Threaded through my chip of quartz
You lost yourself then you lost me
But you won’t lose your mind, you’ll see
I slipped below but I never went away

I’m everywhere and never there
I’m upside and I’m down
I’ll take you to the darkest place
And lead you underground
And when you face your deepest fears
When you’re caught in their trap
Remember, hold me in your mind and
Mind the gap
