Upside Down
Limbo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've heard, I've heard that you're doing well
I'm glad, I'm glad, but is hard to tell
I know, I know that we both fell
And now, and now my heart's a bombshell
I don't wanna think about the time
I felt a little love it wasn't right
Think I have lost half my mind
And now I'm gonna run away tonight
Get far away and get a hotel
All I keep hearing is wedding bells
I think I just need to find myself

Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and...

Sometimes when my heart breaks
It feels like there's no escape
I'm stuck here to suffocate
I lose my heart and I lose my brain
Everyone I know has seen it before
Know what it's like to drop on the floor
Sweeping out the rug or toss out the door
Never wanna be that low or that sore
It's hard to turn this frown a-
It's hard, it's hard to turn this frown around
It's hard to turn this frown around
It's hard, it's hard to, around, it's hard

Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around

Finally booked my one-way ticket
I know where I'm gonna go and get
I've got my mind made up and set
On bigger things that is correct
I've learn to swim, I will not drown
I know my worth and I've got my crown
This world is my playground
Got my plans to turn it all

Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around




Upside down, and upside down and around
Upside down, and upside down and around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Limbo's song "Upside Down" appear to speak to the emotions of heartbreak, loss, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The singer first expresses some relief that the other person is doing well, but it is clear that they are still struggling with their own feelings and find it hard to move on. The singer's heart is "a bombshell," suggesting that it is still raw and vulnerable to further hurt.


The lyrics then describe the difficulty of turning negative emotions around, particularly when it feels like everyone else has already seen the singer's pain before. The repeated refrain of "upside down and around" suggests a feeling of disorientation and confusion, like being unable to find one's footing. However, towards the end of the song, there is a sense of empowerment and determination. The singer has booked a one-way ticket, indicating a commitment to moving forward and exploring new opportunities. The final lines suggest a resolve to make positive, transformative changes in their life.
