Upside Down
Eden Samara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I like you this much, is it wrong if I say it?
Boy, you know you got me holding back
Is it some kind of party
That the room is throwing just for two?
Hold me close to your body
I wanna touch you while you move
Don't you know just what you're doing to me?
I'm about to lose it when you whisper, "do ya think we should leave..."
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (and then you)
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (and then you)
You let me
You let me
You let me
You let me
Have you got a real answer?
Cause I wanna know
If I could be the answer
To what you're looking for
Do you got a good reason
Or did you make one up?
Quit your playin' and tell me
If I'm not enough
How can you not feel it?
Don't you know just what you're doing to me?
I'm about to lose it when you whisper, "do ya think we should leave..."
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (and then you)
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (and then you)
Stranger/friend/undercover lover
God, I can't keep them straight (you got me hangin')
It's not hard, close your eyes and make a choice
Before it's too late (you got me hangin')
I've never seen a view like this
Stars in my eyes
Joint on my lips ohhhh
But when the sun comes up, I know you're gonna let me...
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (you got me hangin')
You got me upside down, baby hold me by my feet
I'm looking at the world from upside down
And then you let me go (and then you)
And then you let me go (you got me hangin')
Oh, and then you let me go
Oh, and then you let me (you let me)
Oh, and then you let me go
Oh, and then you let me
(You let me)
(You let me)
The song is about the confusion and uncertainty that comes with liking someone and not knowing if they feel the same way. The singer wonders if it's wrong to express their feelings, and is holding back because they're not sure if it's reciprocated. The repeated phrase "you got me upside down" represents the disorientation and uncertainty, as well as the singer's vulnerability to this person they like. They feel like they're hanging on to this person's every word and action, waiting for a sign of their true feelings. The line "stranger/friend/undercover lover" suggests that the relationship between the singer and this person is undefined and undefined, adding to the confusion.
The lyrics also convey a sense of desperation on the singer's part - they want this person to tell them how they feel or make a choice, because the uncertainty is hard to bear. They're willing to be vulnerable and put themselves out there, but they need some kind of reassurance that their feelings are reciprocated. The line "quit your playin' and tell me if I'm not enough" shows that the singer is willing to accept rejection, but they don't want to be strung along or kept in the dark.
Overall, "Upside Down" is a song about the ups and downs of liking someone and not knowing if those feelings are returned. It captures the confusion, vulnerability, and desperation that can come with these situations.
