Upside Down
Angel Du$t Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel so good for now
Knowing you turn me inside out
You turn me upside down
Breaking
Already know by now love would
Turn me inside out and flip me upside down
We′ll clean the mess you made tomorrow
We′ll clean the mess you made tomorrow
Everything is going to be alright
Slow death
Feel so good for now
Knowing you turn me inside out
You turn me upside down
I feel safe inside you
We'll clean the mess you made tomorrow
Don't worry your big old pretty eyes
We′ll clean the mess you made tomorrow
Everything is going to be alright
The lyrics to Angel Du$t's song "Upside Down" seem to explore a complex and possibly destructive relationship dynamic. The lines "Slow death, feel so good for now" suggest a paradoxical pleasure derived from the slow deterioration of the relationship. The sense of being turned inside out and upside down implies a complete disruption of one's emotional equilibrium, highlighting the intensity and turmoil of the situation.
The repetition of the phrase "We'll clean the mess you made tomorrow" could be interpreted as a form of denial or avoidance, as if the singer or protagonist is postponing dealing with the consequences of the relationship. Despite this, there is a reassurance that "everything is going to be alright," indicating a glimmer of hope or optimism that things will eventually improve.
The line "I feel safe inside you" adds another layer to the lyrics, suggesting a contradictory sense of security within a seemingly tumultuous and unhealthy relationship. It hints at the complexity and emotional entanglement that can arise in such situations, where one may find comfort and safety despite the chaos.
