Upside Down is a song describing the world if it were opposite, or “upside down”.
The point of the song is that the narrator describes being happier in a world where everything is backwards, insinuating that they are not currently happy.
[Verse]
In an upside down world, I’d be smiling
And everything would feel like it was nothing
I’d be fine when I’m alone
My brain full of light and of joy
And the hope that I’d learn to find love in my own
Voice
With all the clouds on the ground
Then all the rain would stay down
So our heads would never get wet
Sunny days would seem worth it
And everyone would love all the songs that aren’t
Perfect
[Chorus]
The upside is
The upside is
I’ll never be down
I am floating when I fall
And around my neck
Around my neck
Is the light I’ve found
I am sinking to the top
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
[Verse]
I’d find purpose
I’d make the men nervous
Never feel like I’m lost in the crowd
Or forget who I was
And my walls would come down
And when they ask and I say I’m fine
It wouldn’t have to be a lie
Yeah it wouldn’t have to be a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
With everything reversed
Then the thoughts in my head
Would be less of a blur
But maybe that’s worse
Forget what it’s like
With my feet on the ground
And then learn to love heights
‘Cause
[Chorus]
The upside is
The upside is
I’ll never be down
I am floating when I fall
And around my neck
Around my neck
Is the light I’ve found
I am sinking to the top
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
[Bridge]
If everything was upside down
We would be, we would be, we would be on top
If everything was upside down
We would be, we would be, we would be on top
On top, on top, we would be on top
On top, on top, we would be on top
‘Cause
[Chorus]
The upside is
The upside is
I’ll never be down
I am floating when I fall
And around my neck
Around my neck
Is the light I’ve found
I am sinking to the top
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
I feel so up, up, up, up, upside down
And around my neck
Around my neck
Is the light I’ve found
(Is the light I’ve found)
I am sinking to the top
