Upside Down
Adam West Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

all my life is in the past
i reflect but it can't last
she walked out forever more
lock me nail shut the door

upside down is where i'm at
too confused to go to bat
left me here within these walls

left me here without a pause

when i'm upside down

here i am i'm all alone
here i sit upon my throne

lonely king no subjects here
was i right i'll always fear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adam West's song Upside Down suggest a sense of defeat and dejection. The singer has been left alone, and he finds himself in a state of confusion and uncertainty. He reflects on his past, but he cannot hold onto it for long as his present circumstances are all-consuming. The woman he loved has walked out, and he feels trapped, locked inside his own head. He is unable to move forward and is unsure of how to proceed.

The chorus of the song, "upside down is where I'm at," is a metaphor for the singer's emotional state. He feels disorientated and turned around, unable to make sense of his surroundings. He is unable to take action, feeling "too confused to go to bat." The repeating line "left me here" emphasizes the abandoned feeling of being without anyone or anything to hold onto. The song's final lines reveal a sense of doubt and regret, with the singer questioning whether he was right in his actions, and always fearing the potential consequences of his choices.

Line by Line Meaning

all my life is in the past
I have spent my life dwelling on the past

i reflect but it can't last
I think about the past but wish to move on

she walked out forever more
She left me for good

lock me nail shut the door
I want to be isolated and alone

upside down is where i'm at
I feel lost and disoriented

too confused to go to bat
I'm too uncertain to take action

left me here within these walls
I am trapped in my own mind

left me here without a pause
I can't escape from my own thoughts

when i'm upside down
When I'm lost and disoriented

here i am i'm all alone
I am alone without anyone

here i sit upon my throne
I am isolated in my own space
