Upside Down
Coldiac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you want and I don't think it will works for me
I hate the way when you see me!
It makes me like I'm from Mars, making love with my own self!
Then you come to ignore me!
Leaving question for nothing!
Sitting next to you makes me want to crush my teeth!
And I feel so upside down!
When you're eyes blink on me...
And I feel so upside down!
And I feel so upside down!
I really hate when you see me!
I know what you want and I don't think it will works for me
I really hate when you see me!
It makes me like I'm from Mars, making love with my own hand!
The lyrics of Coldiac's "Upside Down" convey a sense of discomfort and even disgust towards the subject's romantic interest. The repetition of the opening lines "I hate the way when you see me!" and "I really hate when you see me!" emphasize the singer's aversion to the attention they are receiving. They know what the other person wants, but it is not reciprocated. This disconnection is expressed through the line "It makes me like I'm from Mars, making love with my own self!" implying a feeling of alienation and lack of mutual understanding.
The second half of the song conveys a sense of frustration towards the dynamic between the two parties. The line "Leaving question for nothing!" implies a lack of communication and closure. The singer is left with unaddressed feelings, which are then only amplified by the proximity of the person they dislike: "Sitting next to you makes me want to crush my teeth!" Despite the negative emotions associated with their interest, the song also expresses a feeling of being trapped: "And I feel so upside down! When your eyes blink on me...".
