With it’s psychedelic guitars, off-the-wall synths, and heavily-sampled vocals from Damian Kulash, “Upside Down & Inside Out” is the fantasized opener on OK Go’s electronic rock record “Hungry Ghosts”.
The song deals with confusion, aftermaths of parties, and coping with stress and new ways. Ly...
[Intro]
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it, feel it
[Verse 1]
Don't know where your eyes are
But they're not doing what you said
Don't know where your mind is, baby
But you're better off without it
[Chorus]
Inside down and upside out
And you can feel it
Don't stop, can't stop
It's like an airplane going down
[Post-Chorus]
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said
Gravity's just a habit that you're really sure you can't break
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when you met the new you
Were you scared? Were you cold? Were you kind?
Yeah, when you met the new you
Did someone die inside?
[Chorus]
Don't stop, can't stop
It's like a freight train
Don't stop, can't stop
It's like an airplane going down
[Verse 1]
Don't know where your eyes are
But they're not doing what you said
Don't know where your mind is, baby
But you're better off without it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Looks like it's time to decide
Are you here? Are you now? Is this it?
All of those selves that you tried
Wasn't one of 'em good enough?
[Bridge]
'Cause you're upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Inside down and upside out
And you can feel it, feel it
[Chorus]
Don't stop, can't stop
It's like a freight train
Don't stop, can't stop
Until you feel it goin' down
[Post-Chorus]
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said
(Are you scared? Are you cold? Were you kind?)
Gravity's just a habit that you're really sure you can't break
(Are you here? Are you now? Is this it?)
[Outro]
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Don't stop, can't stop
Until you feel it going down
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Don't stop, can't stop
Until you feel it goin' down
