Upside Down
Dommin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shouldn't stand on the ceiling
I think my eyes, they have been deceived
Every word is a contortion
And every fact is a distortion
I'm hearing things that I just can't believe
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
And I'm hanging on for dear life
Every face is a stranger
And everyone is a danger
Not a place that seems to feel like home
Common sense isn't common
And the foe is a straw man
You feel so helpless, frightened and alone
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
And I'm hanging on for dear life
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
And I'm hanging on for dear life
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
And I'm hanging on for dear life
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
Because the world is upside down
And I'm hanging on for dear life
