Upside Down
Bonesteel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So innocent an angel down
Are you alone?
Where did you come from?
How many days have you been away?
Follow my lead
Dancing in a grave
Deep below the ground
When you’re upside down
So cold stay by my side
The warmth of your blood melts all the ice
You look at me like I’m your savior
And I bow to you like you’re the same
Pull me closer
Dancing in a grave
Deep below the ground
You sing so beautiful
When you’re upside down
As they danced into the abyss
They mourned not for their consciousness
They found warmth within the void of light
For the first time they felt alive
Dancing in a grave
In a grave
You sing so beautiful
So beautiful
Falling from grace
Eternal embrace
Upside Down
A silent ballet
Together we lay
Upside Down
In Bonesteel's Upside Down, the lyrics speak of an encounter with an innocent and beautiful being, possibly an angel, who has been away for a long time. The singer is drawn to this creature, inviting them to dance in a grave, deep beneath the ground. The idea of dancing in a grave could represent a metaphorical death or embracing one's mortality. The lyrics describe how the being sings so beautifully when they are upside down, implying that there is something unique and special about them. The singer is enamored, asking the being to stay by their side, as their warmth melts all the ice. There is a sense of mutual admiration as they see each other as saviors, and they dance together in an abyss in a silent ballet. The final lines "Falling from grace, Eternal embrace, Upside Down" could be interpreted as the singer embracing a new way of life, with the help of this creature.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of otherworldliness, with the being being described as an angel and the dance happening in a grave. There is a theme of embracing change and letting go of the old way of life. The Upside Down could be a metaphor for this new way of being, where they embrace the unknown.

Can I ask about the name "Bonesteel"? Is it your last name?
Bonesteel
@Christopher Russell Hey there! Yes it’s my last name. When I was younger I kept trying to think of band names and everyone just told me my last name was the way to go. 😂
Christopher Russell
@Bonesteel Have you done your family tree? How many grandfather Bonesteels do you know about? Because I think I can tell you something about them if you are curious.

I am so emotional right now
First of all, banger of a song, well done, boys
Second though, I am so, sooo proud of McKenna
My Youtube
Damn. I love the full version even more than the entrance theme remix! Here's hoping when (not if!) they sign Abadon, she uses the full version for her entrance. I wanna see her crawl out during the spoken intro, then do her blood spit up spot on the beat the drums hit. Goddamn. Goosebumps just thinking about it.
Bonesteel
The spoken word intro was specifically made for the music video, and AEW doesn't have a version with it. But we're glad you like it!
@realartist_eric23
