Upside Down
J. Bescup Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say, you found the road to Heaven but you don't fly
You say, it?s inner peace that get?s you high
You say that you don't need emotion, I wonder why
Is it just too hard for you to cry?

What you need to do
Is change your point of view
Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you'll find
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down

See the storm around us raging, and you'll stay dry
As if the laws of nature don't apply
We see that nothing lasts forever and good things die
Still it seems to come as a surprise

What you need to do
Is change your point of view

Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you'll find
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down

What you need to do
Is change your point of view

Turn it upside down, turn it upside down
Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you'll find
On the other side, it?s upside down




On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J. Bescup's song Upside Down seem to address someone who claims to have found their path to Heaven and inner peace, but who appears emotionally closed off and unresponsive. The singer questions this person's lack of feeling, wondering if it is difficult for them to express emotion because they are afraid of being vulnerable. The chorus urges this person to change their perspective and look at things upside down, embracing the idea that life is unpredictable and often contradictory, and finding meaning and beauty in the unexpected.


The storm referenced in the lyrics may be a metaphor for the turbulence of life, and the person who remains dry despite it may represent someone who is detached from the reality of their situation, or who is in a state of denial. The idea that "good things die" could be seen as a commentary on the impermanence of life, and the fact that this comes as a surprise to some people could suggest a willful blindness or a refusal to acknowledge mortality.


Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of openness, vulnerability, and a willingness to experience life fully, even in its moments of confusion or discomfort. The chorus suggests that this mindset can allow us to see the world from a different angle and find joy and meaning where we least expect it.
