September
Upside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Protruding into me I plug my ears
I try eluding but I know I'll have to save
Myself watch you go under
Nothing left for me but plunder
No matter how I try to say
Things I know i need to say
But I know there's no other way
Now run away
Catch you below when I say
You push your faith away
You'd offer it to me and shut your eyes
To lie, it's easier than facing down
Your self-inflicted situation
Suffocating your own creation
No matter how I try to say
Things I know I need to say
These truths come out so painfully
But I know there's no other way
Turn away
Can't let go of disdain for you
Cuz now I'm free from you
No matter how I try to say
Things I know I need to say
Don't think you got the best of me
Take another look
I look you in the eye
In my mind I watch you die
No matter how I try to say
Things I know I need to say
These truths come out so painfully
I know there's no other way
Turn away
I let go of disdain for you
Cuz now I'm free from you
To do what I say
The lyrics of Upside's song "September" explore the pain and difficulty encountered when ending a relationship. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship, represented by the metaphor of watching someone "go under." They are trying to avoid the reality of the situation by shutting their eyes and plugging their ears, but they know they must face the truth eventually. The lyrics suggest that the other person in the relationship may have pushed away their faith, perhaps in the relationship or in general, and is avoiding facing their own mistakes. The singer is finally letting go of disdain for the other person and embracing their own freedom to do what they want.
Despite the pain and heartache present in the lyrics, there is a sense of triumph and liberation by the end of the song. The singer has confronted their own truth and come out stronger on the other side, free from the chains of the failed relationship. The repetition of the lines "No matter how I try to say things I know I need to say" and "turn away" emphasizes the struggle and conflict the singer is facing, but ultimately they come out victorious.

This was 15 years ago... they really should make a sequel to this before Ana retires or is replaced. Fashion and print magazines have changed exponentially and it would be so interesting to see what the September issue is like today. It definitely doesn't get the same hype and fanfare it used to.

Come over an see Johnny Depp pursuing Amber Heard with a blade as she begs him to stop, a recording played at trial that I transcribed and loudened

Grace needs her own magazine. What she is creating and bringing to her table is ART, LUXURY, TIMELESS PIECES!
@BabsChannel
Anna Wintour influences fashion trends constantly, and she's a great capitalist. She knows what the consumer is going to wear, she knows what's modern.
But if Grace were in charge, she could change fashion for the better. Getting dressed could be an art again. What a shame. What a waste.

He has a romantic eye. I do like the photo shoots she was in charge of and the pictures she chose where beautiful.

@@videodude23 I mean, Walt Disney did the same thing, eventually. And he was the busiest man on the planet at one time. He did just as much work as the people below him, because there always has to be a brain. Walt knew what would work, with an astonishing level of confidence. He never finished school, but he was a savvy businessman, he had a gift for marketing and sales, and just knowing what people wanted, how and when. I'm sure Anna has her own gifts, but what she does is tiring and time consuming and not something everyone can do.

She’s hot!
