07 Up There
Satan The Dark Prince Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I think, when I look up real high
That there is such a big world up there I'd like to give it a try
But then I sink, 'cause it is here I'm supposed to stay
But I get so lonely down here, tell me why's it have to be that way?

Up there there is so much room
Where babies burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams, I can dream too
Up there, up where the skies are ocean blue
I can be safe and live without a care up there

They say I don't belong I must stay below alone
Because of my beliefs I'm supposed to stay where evil is sown
But what is evil anyway? Is there reason to the rhyme?
Without evil there can be no good so it must be good to be evil sometimes

Up there there is so much room
Where babies burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams, I can dream too
Up there, up where the skies are ocean blue
I can be safe and live without a care, live without a care

If only I could live up there




I wanna live, I wanna live up there
Ooh baby, ooh I want to live up there

Overall Meaning

In Satan The Dark Prince's song "Up There," the lyrics explore the concept of wishing to live in a world beyond our own. The singer wishes to give the big world up there a try, but feels trapped and lonely in the world they are supposed to stay in. They long for a place where everyone dreams and they can dream too. The idea of good and evil is also challenged, as the singer questions what evil truly is and proposes that without it, there can be no good.


The theme of longing for something beyond our reach is a common one in music, but Satan The Dark Prince's interpretation brings a unique perspective by questioning typical societal norms of good and evil. The song presents a desire for escape from this judgmental society and a yearning for a carefree life in a world where dreams can come true.


Overall, "Up There" presents a thought-provoking look at the human desire for escapism and challenges societal ideas of morality.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I think, when I look up real high
I often contemplate the vastness of the world above me.


That there is such a big world up there I'd like to give it a try
The enormity of the world above calls to me, and I yearn to experience it.


But then I sink, 'cause it is here I'm supposed to stay
Despite my desire to explore new worlds, my destiny is to remain here on Earth.


But I get so lonely down here, tell me why's it have to be that way?
I feel isolated and disconnected from the world around me, but I don't understand why.


Up there there is so much room Where babies burp and flowers bloom Everyone dreams, I can dream too Up there, up where the skies are ocean blue I can be safe and live without a care up there
There are endless possibilities in the uncharted world above: infants giggling, flowers thriving, people dreaming. If only I could live there, where the azure skies offer solace from the chaos below.


They say I don't belong I must stay below alone
Society, for reasons beyond my comprehension, has ostracized me, and I am alone down here.


Because of my beliefs I'm supposed to stay where evil is sown
My personal convictions conflict with the mainstream perception of right and wrong, and as a result, I am forced to remain in the presence of malevolence.


But what is evil anyway? Is there reason to the rhyme?
The very definition of evil is subjective and arbitrary, and it leaves me wondering if there is any underlying logic or purpose to its existence.


Without evil there can be no good so it must be good to be evil sometimes
Perhaps evil is a necessary counterpart to goodness, and sometimes it's acceptable to be bad in order to recognize and appreciate the value of goodness.


If only I could live up there I wanna live, I wanna live up there Ooh baby, ooh I want to live up there
I long to escape the confines of this world and reside among the infinite possibilities of the world above--oh, how I yearn to live up there!

This is genuinely, sincerely, 100%, one of the greatest musicals of the 20th century.
