Up & Down
Gianluca Motta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna say goodbye
There are some who believe
That I owe them something
But they're wrong
I owe nothing to no one but myself
And there are some who say they created me
But only my parents will have that acclaim
I took it from there

I am to blame
Up
Down, up, up, up
Down, up, up, up
Down, up, up, up
Up
Down, up, up, up

Down, up, up, up
Down, up, up, up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gianluca Motta's song Up & Down express the idea of taking control of one's life and not letting anyone else dictate it. The opening lines, "I don't wanna say goodbye, there are some who believe that I owe them something but they're wrong," emphasizes that the singer is not willing to give in to the expectations of others. He asserts that he owes nothing to anyone except himself. This line suggests that the singer has taken an independent stance regarding his life, wishing to make his own choices.

The next two lines - "And there are some who say they created me, but only my parents will have that acclaim" - may suggest that some are trying to take credit for the singer's success. But he acknowledges that only his parents can claim responsibility for bringing him into the world. From there, he took control of his own life and crafted his own destiny. The chorus of the song, "Up, down, up, up, up, down, up, up, up, down, up, up, up," creates a mood of fluctuation, implying that there are ups and downs in life. However, the singer maintains the notion that he is ultimately responsible for his own life's trajectory.
