Upside Down
Coo Coo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you fall into the ground
Coo Coo is the movie
Coo Coo is the city
Upside down
Now we are running all around
Coo Coo, are you dancing?
Picking up together
Growing up your fever
So you're never feeling blue
Oh come and get it, baby
Hear the people saying
Everybody take your hand
Rolling on the ceiling
Rolling by your feelings
Rolling on the ceiling again
Oh, Juju told me, Clover,
He could be your lover
All this thought for losing your head
Oh, I want to see your body twisting again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
The song “Upside Down” by Coo Coo is a fun, upbeat track that invites listeners to dance and feel good. The lyrics are deceptively simple, with the words “Upside Down” being repeated throughout the song. However, there are some interesting phrases that add depth to the meaning of the song. The lines “If you fall into the ground / Coo Coo is the movie / Coo Coo is the city” can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the world can be overwhelming and disorienting, but music and entertainment (represented by “Coo Coo”) can offer an escape from that. The second verse continues with this theme, as Coo Coo is asked if they are dancing and feeling, further emphasizing the importance of enjoying life and having fun.
The bridge of the song has a slightly more cryptic message, with lines like “Picking up together / Growing up your fever / So you’re never feeling blue”. It is unclear who or what is doing the picking up, and what this fever represents, but it could be interpreted as a call to come together and support each other in order to avoid feeling depressed or isolated. The chorus then returns with its catchy refrain of “Rolling on the ceiling / Rolling by your feelings / Rolling on the ceiling again”, creating a surreal and joyous image that encourages listeners to let go and dance without inhibitions.
