Upside Down
Heath Brandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me what you're made off
Let me in your mind
Tell me what's inside
Break me off a piece
You can almost taste it
I feel high
When you're not around
I'm turned upside down
Living all alone
Watching the rain
Watching the rain falling back down again
Everybody wants to look around again
I know what you're doing
I can't see the future
My world is so unclear
When you're not here
Listen to me breathing
You can feel my heartbeat
When you're not around
I'm turned upside down

The singer is asking to be taken on a journey to know and understand their lover better. He wants to know what's in their mind, what they're made of and what's inside them. The repetition of the phrase 'when you're not around' highlights how important the person is to the singer and how lost they feel in their absence.
The song speaks volumes about the effect the significant other has on the singer's life. They feel high and can touch the sky when in their partner's company. However, when they're apart, the world comes crashing down on them, and they feel turned upside down. The singer's world is uncertain and unclear without their lover. The phrase 'listening to me breathing' and 'feeling my heartbeat' portray the intensity of the singer's emotions, emotions so powerful that even the subtlest things become significant.
Overall, "Upside Down" is a love song that portrays the emotions that one goes through in a relationship. It shows how much we need our partners to ground ourselves and how much we're willing to invest in our relationships to feel complete.

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion
And chaos
All those people goin' somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, he's buyin' time
All those people goin' somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way You've seen the people all along
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Give me Your Eyes (Give me Your eyes for just one second)
Lord, give me Your eyes (Give me Your eyes so I can see)
Everything (Everything that I keep missing)
(Give me Your love for humanity)
Give me Your heart (Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted)
For the broken hearted (The ones that are far beyond my reach)
Give me Your heart (Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten)
Lord, give me Your eyes (Give me Your eyes so I can see)
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

It’s been years since I’ve heard this song and welp....... it was a major feeling through the Holy Spirit, so much that without noticing I sang word for word the lyrics of the song. It felt like a blast from the last of the childhood I’m leaving. IT WAS AWESOME!!! And as I have my guitar on my hands and a broken heart from a breakup I experienced about 2 months ago I hope to get back up on my feet 100% and this song reminds me that there are people who care and I for some reason want my EX to know that. It’s probably just my weird naive 15 year old brain that’s making up more crazy plans but I plan to make a cover of Brandon Heaths- “I’m not who I was” song and sending it to her and saying that no matter what happens there are good people in the hand of God and if it’s not meant to be me who is there for her it’s gonna be someone good :)
I’m glad I found this song🙃
Maybe I’ll make a cover of it also

Will you step outside of yourself and look to make life better?
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

My son is 13 and deaf since birth. Although, he cannot hear your music with his ears, he hears it with the way your lyrics speak to him. I learned to sign this song to my son. We play it often. My son's name is Brandon...

Try aftershocks headphones..get it through amazon..unlike other headphones theses works through the jawbone and doesn't go into your ear. I heard stories where people who couldn't hear, use it and they could hear music. It's worth a shot
