Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I need some loving when my feelings show
Although I never found the way to let you know
I also never found the way to let you go
And now I see that look shining on your face
Your smile is warming up just like a sunny place
My worries disappear and all my fears erase
When do we ever know dear what's in front of us,
Until we're looking back here and we see the dust
I know you lift me up when I am feeling rough,
Right now I'm feeling rough
So where can you be
You're the only upside down
So baby light your sunshine down
On Me
You know me from the inside out
You're the upside down for me
I lean into your kiss for my sanity
So give me all your lovin for my vanity
The phone is gonna ring and we'll just let it be, come settle in with me
Do we ever know dear what's in front of us,
Until we're looking back here and we see the dust
I know you lift me up when I am feeling rough,
Right now I'm feeling rough
So where can you be
You're the only upside down
So baby light your sunshine down
On Me
You know me from the inside out
You're the upside down for me
It only takes the two of us
To clean this mess in front of us
To beam like lights that break the dusk
Here and now is just enough
For me to believe
You're the only upside down
Baby light your sunshine down
On Me
You know me from the inside out
You're the upside down for me
Goldford's "Upside Down" is a song about finding comfort and solace in someone who is your opposite or your "upside down." The first verse acknowledges the singer's need for support and love during difficult times when they feel lonely and vulnerable. They admit to both wanting to express their feelings to this person and being afraid to let go of them. The second verse is a reflection of gratitude for this person's presence and impact on their life. The lyrics "My worries disappear and all my fears erase, You're my happy place" highlights the singer's reliance on this person to make them happy.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You're the only upside down, so baby light your sunshine down on me" which emphasizes the importance of this person in the singer's life. The lyrics suggest that this person is unlike anyone else and has a transformative effect on the singer's mood and outlook. The bridge of the song further accentuates the idea that the two people in the relationship can make each other better, saying "It only takes the two of us, To clean this mess in front of us, To beam like lights that break the dusk." The song's final rendition of the chorus brings everything full circle, with the singer reaffirming the impact that their "upside-down" has on them.
