Up There
A ONE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to walk at the side of all the careless casualties
I wouldn't want to forget would you
I wouldn't want to see you making calls and enemies too
Knock me right back in my chair dear
Sitting there I was just a cause no one seemed to care
It's a shame you shove my love right back under the rug
A cold car I got friends of mine
A backpack a case of matches
Brandon stole a case or two
A good time in the city though
A good time for all who saw me
Sneaking out the door with you
Knock me right back in my chair dear
Sitting there I was just a cause no one seemed to care
It's a shame you shove my love right back under the rug
Go on rip it up it's there
It was long over before I ever knew
The tough part is coming up with something else to do
Knock me right back in my chair dear
Sitting there I was just a cause no one seemed to care
It's a shame you shove my love right back under the rug
Go on rip it up it's there
The lyrics of A ONE's song "Up There" seem to convey a sense of longing and frustration. The singer expresses a desire to be involved in something significant, to be a part of the action, but feels overlooked and forgotten. They don't want to be forgotten themselves, and they don't want to witness others creating conflicts and enemies.
The first verse suggests a yearning to be a part of something meaningful, perhaps a movie or a theatrical production symbolized by "the set." The singer also desires to be alongside those who take risks and face the consequences without any concern. There is a fear of being forgotten, as indicated by the line "I wouldn't want to forget would you?" The singer values connection but doesn't want to see others engaging in destructive behavior.
The second verse introduces a scene involving a car, friends, and mischief. It seems to depict a carefree and rebellious time in the city. The singer is experiencing an exciting adventure, sneaking out with someone else. However, despite the fun, there is still a feeling of being pushed aside, represented by the line "It's a shame you shove my love right back under the rug." The singer's emotions are being disregarded or dismissed.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the feeling of being knocked down and ignored. The singer laments that no one seemed to care about their existence or their love. The line "go on rip it up it's there" suggests that the singer's emotions and love are tangible, but being treated as insignificant or disposable.
The final lines "It was long over before I ever knew, The tough part is coming up with something else to do" indicate a realization that the situation has already ended, though the singer was unaware. They now face the challenge of moving on and finding a new path or purpose.
Overall, "Up There" explores themes of yearning for significance, feeling disregarded, and the difficulty of letting go and moving on.
