Upside Down
Jerry Fish & the Mudbug Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you've got the answer who asks you why?
Who'll bring you flowers when you're six feet underground?
Which way is up when you're upside down?
Living life without a care
Who in the office will fill your underwear?
Who'll get your wife while you're out of town?
Where is she tonight now you're upside down?
When you're upside down
When you're upside down
When you're upside down
Who really lives in the here and now?
Stuck in the middle who has their doubts?
Who's out of sight? Who's out of bounds?
Who'll kiss you twice when you're upside down?
When you're upside down
When you're upside down
When you're upside down
The lyrics of Jerry Fish & the Mudbug Club's song Upside Down are a poignant exploration of the uncertainties and challenges of life. The song poses a series of questions that highlight the fragile and unpredictable nature of existence, and the importance of relationships and human connection in navigating life's complexities.
The opening verse asks, "Who gets you china when you up and die? When you've got the answer who asks you why? Who'll bring you flowers when you're six feet underground? Which way is up when you're upside down?" These lines speak to the finality of death and the ways in which it can leave us feeling disorientated and alone. The following verse asks, "Who in the office will fill your underwear? Who'll get your wife while you're out of town? Where is she tonight now you're upside down?" These lines speak to the insecurity and vulnerability that can arise when we are unable to be present to protect and care for our loved ones.
The chorus repeats the phrase "When you're upside down" three times, effectively emphasizing the feeling of disorientation and confusion that runs throughout the song. The final verse asks, "Who really lives in the here and now? Stuck in the middle who has their doubts? Who's out of sight? Who's out of bounds? Who'll kiss you twice when you're upside down?" These lines speak to the difficulty of living in the present moment, the sense of being caught between competing priorities and demands, and the importance of finding moments of tenderness and connection in the midst of life's complexities.
