Upside Down
Intranced Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then you break me
Leave broken dreams
Upon your prey
You led me on
To think it was for sure
And then you kicked me to the ground
You're spinning me upside down
Your crooked smile betrays
You fake it
You took advantage of
The loyalty I gave
You led me on
And made me feel secure
And then you fed me to the hounds
You're turning me upside down
You're spinning me upside down
I'm caught in the upside down
You got me upside…
I'm caught in the upside…
You're spinning me upside down
Down
You Spin Me
Down
You Spin Me!
Down…
You're turning me upside down
You got me upside down
You're spinning me upside down
I'm caught in the upside down
Yeah!
