Upside Down
TK-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always far, I'm never near
Away in heart, away in mind
Open your eyes, seek and find
The place where we should be
You don't need to criticise
You just need to realise
You just need to realise
I never really thought that you could turn my life straight upside down
I spend my time waiting for something good to come around
Empty days and lonely nights
Neighbours sleep, now we don't fight
Photo frames kept out of sight
Lying awake, fading light
Lost control
'Cause I, miss your touch, I miss the rush
I'm on my own, it's all too much
I need you home
You don't need to criticise
You just need to realise
I never really thought that you could turn my life straight upside down
I spend my time waiting for something good to come around
'Cause I, miss your touch
And I, miss the rush
Please, just come home
It's not right without you here
You're always far, I'm never near
In TK-2's song "Upside Down", the artist expresses how his life is incomplete without the presence of the person he loves. Her absence has turned his life upside down, and he can't seem to find a way out of his loneliness. The lyrics highlight his feelings of longing and despair.
The first verse of the song suggests that despite being physically away from her, she is always on his mind and in his heart. He urges her to seek and find the place where they should be together. The second verse talks about how he never thought that somebody could change his life so dramatically. He spends his time waiting for something good to come around, implying that he is waiting for her to come back to him.
The chorus, "You don't need to criticise, you just need to realize", means that his lover does not need to criticize him, but rather, she needs to realize how important she is to him. The lines "I miss your touch, I miss the rush" emphasize how much he longs for her. The bridge of the song highlights how much he misses her and how much he needs her home.
Overall, the song is a melancholy ballad about love, longing, and loneliness that is relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

It's not right without you here
My life feels incomplete and unsettled without you in it
You're always far, I'm never near
You're physically distant from me most of the time and it makes me feel disconnected
Away in heart, away in mind
Even when we're not physically apart, I feel like we're emotionally disconnected
Open your eyes, seek and find
Try to look beyond the surface level and find the deeper connection we once had
The place where we should be
Our natural place is together, close and connected
You don't need to criticise
I don't need you to judge or blame me for our situation
You just need to realise
All I need from you is recognition of the problem and a willingness to work with me to solve it
I never really thought that you could turn my life straight upside down
You've had a huge impact on my life, way beyond what I ever expected
I spend my time waiting for something good to come around
I hope that we can get back to a good place and restore what we've lost
Empty days and lonely nights
The absence of your presence has left me feeling empty and alone
Neighbours sleep, now we don't fight
Even the tension between us has faded away, leaving only a cold silence
Photo frames kept out of sight
I don't want to look at reminders of our happy times because they only make me miss you more
Lying awake, fading light
I can't sleep, instead I lie here in the dark and think about what we've lost
Lost control
I feel like I'm losing my grip on things and I don't know how to fix it
'Cause I, miss your touch, I miss the rush
I crave the physical and emotional connection we once had
I'm on my own, it's all too much
I feel like I'm dealing with this by myself and it's overwhelming
I need you home
I want you to come back to me and help me get through this
Please, just come home
I'm begging you to return to me and help me fix what's broken
