Uptown
Aya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I don't see the same
Most people take what's around
We had fun
Whatever happened to all the things you wanted to be?
You used to be the one
Who made me keep on
I feel like floatin' away
I find myself in a daze
It's a dream life anyway
When we used to
Uptown
Boogie down
Hear the sound
Move it around
Now, don't sit down
Think about
Who you love
There's always someone to blame
Denied, your dreams fade away
Most people take what they've found
We had fun
Whatever happens
I'll still remember all that you said
I'll always head on
Never let go
All the dreams you wanted to live
Believe this life is a game
You'll find yourself in a maze
It's hide and seek everyday
You used to
Uptown
Boogie down
Hear the sound
Move it around
Now, don't sit down
Think about
Who you love
Now boogie down
Let the sound
Move you around
Boogie down
Think about
Who you love
The song Uptown by Aya is a reflection on the pursuit of dreams and how sometimes life takes us in a different direction than where we initially planned to go. The opening lines, "If it seems I live for today, you and I don't see the same, most people take what's around," suggest that the singer is someone who is living in the moment and seizing the opportunities that come her way, while others might settle for what is easily available. The chorus, "Uptown, Boogie down, Hear the sound, Move it around," encourages the listener to let loose and enjoy the moment.
The verses express a sense of loss for the dreams that were once cherished but have been left behind. The lines "Whatever happened to all the things you wanted to be? You used to be the one who made me keep on" suggest that the singer had a friend or partner who inspired her, but who has since lost that drive. The second verse continues this theme with the lines "Whatever happens, I'll still remember all that you said, I'll always head on, Never let go, All the dreams you wanted to live." It seems that the singer is trying to hold onto the dream even though it is no longer shared by the other person.
Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who is living in the moment but is also aware of the dreams that have been left behind. The music is upbeat and lively, conveying the sense of energy and excitement that comes with living life to the fullest.

If it seems I live for today
I might seem like I'm living in the present moment
You and I don't see the same
But you and I might have different perspectives
Most people take what's around
Many people settle for what's available
We had fun
But we used to have a good time together
Whatever happened to all the things you wanted to be?
What happened to all the dreams and aspirations you had?
You used to be the one
You were once the person who
Who made me keep on
Motivated me to keep going
You were the reason I could believe in myself
You were the one who gave me confidence in myself
I feel like floatin' away
I sometimes feel like I'm drifting away
I find myself in a daze
I feel like I'm in a trance
It's a dream life anyway
This life can feel like a dream
When we used to Uptown
Back when we used to go uptown
Boogie down
And dance
Hear the sound
Listen to the music
Move it around
Move your body to the beat
Now, don't sit down
Now, don't just sit there
Think about
Consider
Who you love
Who you love in your life
There's always someone to blame
We always feel the need to blame someone
Denied, your dreams fade away
If you don't pursue your dreams, they will disappear
Most people take what they've found
Many people settle for what they've already got
We had fun
But we used to have a good time together
Whatever happens
Regardless of what occurs
I'll still remember all that you said
I'll always remember everything that you've said to me
I'll always head on
I'll always push forward
Never let go
Never give up
All the dreams you wanted to live
All of the dreams that you had hoped to fulfill
Believe this life is a game
Believe that life is like a game
You'll find yourself in a maze
It can feel like you're lost in life
It's hide and seek everyday
Every day feels like a game of hide and seek
You used to Uptown
You used to go uptown
Boogie down
And dance
Hear the sound
Listen to the music
Move it around
Move your body to the beat
Now, don't sit down
Now, don't just sit there
Think about
Consider
Who you love
Who you love in your life
Now boogie down
Now dance
Let the sound
Allow the music
Move you around
To move your body
Boogie down
And dance
Think about
Consider
Who you love
Who you love in your life
