.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 3 funkateers on steroids ! ! ! X3 is known for their incredible live performances where everything from beautiful chord changes in ballads to mind blowing technical high stands in up- tempo material is being performed. All that based on solid grooves with the addition of playing in odd time signatures. The band has their own identity and is really a mix of different styles. For the listener there is always something interesting happening. The music is thoughtfully composed and it is not only the 'trick of the lick' but more the 'swing of the total thing..
Upside Down
X3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you turn around
It's like I'm walking on the ceiling
Both feet off the ground
And it's so right but feels so left
Upside down like I'm losing my head
'Cause I know where my heart belongs–
So I say hey
I'm crazy into you
And I say hey
Every minute's overdue
And I can't wait
No I don't care I'll do what it takes
Driving all night, catch the first flight
Just to see you, I'll explain
You got me like upside down
You standing there I swear my whole world is turned around
I can't believe you're here
I was looking in the crowd
But you're here now
You standing there I swear my whole world turned around
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
I'm upside down
Tell me how am I supposed to act like everything's okay
It's like I jump without a parachute right into a tidal wave
I'm so mixed up
There's no doubt
Got me feeling like I'm inside out
It's funny when I'm here with you
I wouldn't change a thing
So I say hey
I'm crazy into you
And I say hey
Every minute's overdue
And I can't wait
No I don't care I'll do what it takes
Driving all night, catch the first flight
Just to see you, I'll explain
You got me like upside down
You standing there I swear my whole world is turned around
I can't believe you're here
I was looking in the crowd
But you're here now
You standing there I swear my whole world turned around
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
I'm upside down
You got me spinning
From the moment you walked in the room
There's nothing I can do but fall for you
Oh you got me like upside down
Oh you got me like upside down
You got me like upside down
You standing there I swear my whole world is turned around
I can't believe you're here
I was looking in the crowd
But you're here now
You standing there I swear my whole world turned around
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Oh whoa
You got me upside down
Do do do do do do do do
Whoa oh
Upside down
Do do do do do do do do
Oh whoa
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
I'm upside down
The song "Upside Down" by X3 is about the singer's love for a certain person that turns their world upside down. The song opens with the singer explaining how they feel every time their loved one is around. They feel like they are walking on the ceiling, with both feet off the ground. Despite being such an unusual feeling, it also feels so right that they know their heart belongs with this person. However, the feeling is so intense that it makes the singer feel like they are losing their head. They are upside down, and everything feels topsy-turvy.
In the chorus, the singer is so crazy about their loved one that they are willing to do anything to be with them. They can't wait any longer, and they are ready to catch the first flight, driving all night just to see their loved one. They are upside down, spinning, falling for this person the moment they walked in the room. The singer's world is turned around, and they can't believe that their loved one is finally here.
In the second verse, the singer admits that they are so mixed up being around this person, but they wouldn't change anything. They feel like they are inside out, but when they are with their loved one, it's a feeling like no other. The chorus repeats, emphasizing once again that the singer is upside down, spinning, and falling for their loved one.
