Upside Down
Constance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine me way above the clouds
Imagine me in clear blue skies
Do you think i’ll be the same,
Will i get to reach your side
Walking underneath the sun
In the face of lucky stars
Will i have to run away
Imagine me all upside down

A place where we can lay around, a summer that goes on and on
Beyond the grace and all the light, imagine me all upside down
A place where nothing will collapse, a place where nothing will go wrong
Will you draw me with a smile, imagine me all upside down

Since we have to realise
That we have lost our minds
That we’ll never cross this wall
Never reach the other side
Some say time will right our wrongs
Day by day
But still we go and build our walls
Imagine me all upside down

A place where we can lay around, a summer that goes on and on
Beyond the grace and all the light, imagine me all upside down
A place where nothing will collapse, a place where nothing will go wrong
Will you draw me with a smile, imagine me all upside down

Imagine me on another stage
Imagine me less on the edge
Do you think i’ll be the same,
The one who’s always on the run
Imagine me in clear blue skies
A hundred thousand miles away




Will i ever reach your side
Will i always be the same.

Overall Meaning

In Constance's song Upside Down, the theme of escapism is explored through vivid imagery of being above the clouds and in clear blue skies. The lyrics convey a longing for a place where everything is perfect and nothing can go wrong. The idea of being upside down symbolizes turning everything on its head and experiencing the world in a different light.


The first verse asks whether the singer will be the same if they reach this perfect place and whether they will be able to reach the person they long for. The second verse describes this perfect place as being a summer that goes on and on where nothing will collapse or go wrong. The singer imagines being drawn with a smile and being able to lay around in this peaceful haven.


The third verse acknowledges the reality that the singer and the person they long for can never be together and will never be able to cross the wall that separates them. However, the idea of imagining oneself upside down persists as a way of coping with the situation. The final verse questions whether the singer will change if they were less on the edge and a hundred thousand miles away. They wonder whether they will ever be able to reach the person they long for or whether they will always be the same.


Overall, Upside Down is a beautiful portrayal of the desire to escape from reality and be in a perfect place where everything is just right. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this perfect place and use the idea of being upside down as a means of reversing and challenging the world as we know it.
