The band got the name from the word Dharma. In whatever case, it is a law that connects everything in existence no matter how diverse they are. This is how the band explains their music, having rather dissimilar musical influences that results into a dynamic sound that still meets halfway as it appeals to a certain group of listeners almost everywhere.
Up Dharma Down is composed of Armi Millare on keyboards, vocals and rhythm guitars, Carlos Tanada on lead guitars, Ean Mayor on drums and Paul Yap on bass.
The band has won various awards since 2005 - and most recently they won Vocalist of the Year, Album of the year and Artist of the year at the 2009 NU Rock Awards.

Flicker
Up Dharma Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, like flickering lights
They come and go
In me
In everything that I don't see
I feel you here within
Do I make a prayer or do I let it go?
I'm looking forward to seeing you
When will I get another ride
To see the other side again
In little proportions
I get an unwarranted high
And they don't
They don't understand why
I'm looking forward to meeting you
When will I get another ride
To see the other side again
Floating tickets everywhere around me
When do I get another ride
To see the other side again
Like flickering lights...
Like flickering lights...
Like flickering lights...
The song "Flicker" by Up Dharma Down is a beautiful representation of the complex emotions that come with longing for someone who is no longer a part of your life. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that their loved one is like a flickering light, coming and going in their life in unpredictable moments. Despite the distance, the singer can still feel their presence within them and wonders whether they should pray or let go of the hope of reconnecting with their loved one.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's optimistic hope of reuniting with their loved one. They eagerly wait for the day when they can see the other person again, almost like they are waiting for a ride to take them to the other side. The singer acknowledges that their love for this person is small but potent, giving them an unwarranted high that nobody else seems to understand.
Overall, "Flicker" is a deeply emotional song that beautifully captures the feeling of longing and hope that come with lost love.

Once in a moment
There are rare moments when you come to my mind
You, like flickering lights
Your memory appears and disappears quickly, like a flickering light
They come and go
The thought of you is not constant, it comes and goes
In me
But when it's present, it affects me deeply
In everything that I don't see
Even when you're not physically present, traces of you are felt in everything around me
I feel you here within
Your presence is still felt within me
Do I make a prayer or do I let it go?
Should I pray for your return or should I just let go of the feeling?
Do I wait in vain or do I let you know?
Should I keep waiting for you to come back or should I express my feelings to you?
I'm looking forward to seeing you
I long to see you again
When will I get another ride
When will there be another opportunity to meet you?
To see the other side again
To experience the feeling of being with you again
In little proportions
Even in small amounts
I get an unwarranted high
The thought of you gives me an inexplicable feeling of happiness
And they don't
But others don't understand why I feel this way
They don't understand why
They can't comprehend why I feel such strong emotions towards you
I'm looking forward to meeting you
I'm eager to meet you again
Floating tickets everywhere around me
There are opportunities around me, but they don't compare to the feeling of being with you
When do I get another ride
When will there be another chance to be with you?
To see the other side again
To experience the feeling of being with you again
Like flickering lights...
Your memory continues to flicker in and out of my mind
Like flickering lights...
Your memory continues to flicker in and out of my mind
Like flickering lights...
Your memory continues to flicker in and out of my mind

Gosh! I wish someone would upload the HD version of Flicker, this is one of my faves. Flicker is an independenty released track by UDD because it was written/composed as part of the OST of the film: Ang Pamana (The Inheritance), it is not included in the Fragmented album.
