Upside Down
Amna Riaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My friend it has been a while
Haven't felt so alive
That I stopped searching for a home

We'd drive to the nearest park
Play all our favourite songs
Now I don't wanna be alone
Suddenly the walls the cave in
It's getting hard, breathe in
Can't believe, we're leaving
All of this behind

Our hearts are in
All the wrong places
We don't know
Why we deserve this
Can't seem to see
How broken we are right now
Inside out

Old friend it'd been a while
Never felt more alive
But I'm still searching for a home

Drove to the nearest park
Played all our favourite songs
Maybe I do wanna be alone

Suddenly the walls the cave in
It's easier, breathe in
Can't believe, you're leaving
All of this behind

Our hearts were in
All the wrong places
We didn't know
Why we deserved it

Couldn't seem to see
How broken we were somehow
Inside

Our hearts were in
All the wrong places
We didn't know
Why we deserved it
Couldn't seem to stop




The feeling, we were drowning somehow
Upside down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amna Riaz's song "Upside Down" capture the emotional journey of the singer as they reflect on their past experiences with a friend. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that it's been a while since they've felt so alive, and they appreciate the company of their friend. The mention of searching for a home indicates that the singer may have felt lost and displaced prior to meeting their friend. However, as the song progresses, the singer expresses how they no longer wish to be alone, but the walls seem to cave in, making it difficult to breathe. This line symbolizes the challenges of maintaining close relationships and the fear of being vulnerable.


The lyrics go on to suggest that their heart was in the wrong place and they didn't know why they deserved to feel the way they did. This line may relate to the feeling of being lost and not knowing what one's true purpose is. As the song progresses, the singer seems to come to terms with their emotions and acknowledges that their heart is still searching for a home, but they're now comfortable being alone in their own company. The last line "Upside Down" may symbolize the turmoil the singer experienced and the sense of disorientation they felt during this period.

It's been a long time since I had a close friend


Haven't felt so alive
I feel lively and energetic now that I have a close friend

We'd drive to the nearest park
We used to go for long drives


Play all our favourite songs
We listened to music that we both loved


Now I don't wanna be alone
I don't want to lose my friend and be lonely again


Suddenly the walls the cave in
Everything is falling apart around us


It's getting hard, breathe in
I'm feeling overwhelmed and need to take a deep breath to calm down


Can't believe, we're leaving
I'm sad that we have to part ways


All of this behind
Everything that we shared will be left behind

Couldn't seem to stop
We were unable to prevent


The feeling, we were drowning somehow
We felt overwhelmed and suffocated by our emotions


Our hearts were in
We felt deeply


All the wrong places
But we were trying to find happiness in all the wrong ways


We didn't know
We were unaware


Why we deserved it
Why we had to go through this hard time


Couldn't seem to see
We were struggling to understand


How broken we were somehow
We felt like we were falling apart
