Upside Down
Shadrow Lyrics

Everything seemed normal at first
Things appeared to be ordinary and uneventful initially.

Then it hit like a hammer in the dead of the night
Suddenly and forcefully, a strange and unsettling situation presented itself.

First impressions couldn't be worse
The initial experience was far from ideal.

With no reason to stammer, we set darkness alight
We responded boldly and with purpose, shining a light on the unknown and unsettling situation.

Something's living inside the wall
There is some presence or entity residing in the walls of a building.

Stand by the phone in case they call
Stay alert and ready to receive communication from that presence or entity.

There's a darkness within this town
The presence of a malevolent force looms over the area.

Where shadows reside
The darkness is pervasive and extends into all areas of the town.

From dusk until dawn
The lurking menace operates throughout the entirety of the day.

When the whole world is upside down
The situation is entirely foreign and disorienting.

And there's nowhere to hide
Escape or refuge from the malevolent force is not an option.

You have to hold on
Confront this situation with unrelenting determination and strength.

To keep from slipping in the dark
To avoid being overcome by the negative forces that seek to drag you down.

Drop your toys; let's head for the hills
Abandon frivolities and trivialities to prioritize escape from the danger.

We won't need no protection if we just use our mind
With a strong mentality and calm nerves, we can evade the danger without external support.

Late at night, it's giving me chills
As the darkness grows more intense, the fear it induces is becoming more palpable.

Suffering misdirection, can't afford to lose time
Feeling lost and uncertain, we cannot waste any time foolishly.

Read the messages in the lights
Closely examine any glimmers of hope, particularly through bright or illuminating signals.

Just hope it barks worse than it bites
Hoping that the dangers are overstated and less dangerous than anticipated.

If you want us to find you
If you require assistance or support in escaping the danger.

Give us a sign of where to go
Provide us with an indication or clue of how to locate you.

Trust that your friends are behind you
Have faith that those you care about and that care about you are supporting and protecting you.

Just listen to the radio
Pay heed to broadcasts or communications from those attempting to assist you or share information.

Should I stay or should I go
Wondering whether it is best to stay put and wait out the danger, or to attempt an escape.

There's a darkness within this town
A repeating sentiment reinforcing the presence of a malevolent force.

Where shadows reside
Another reference to the pervasive nature of the darkness in the area.

From dusk until dawn
Reiterating how the danger is ever-present and inescapable.

When the whole world is upside down
Again reflecting the fundamentally foreign and disorienting nature of the situation.

And there's nowhere to hide
The impossibility of avoiding the danger.

You have to hold on
The necessity of mental fortitude and determination in this extreme scenario.

To keep from slipping in the dark
Avoiding succumbing to the overwhelming negative forces at play.
