What Goes On
Mind's Upside Down: Bryan Ferry's Emotional Journey in 'What Goes On'
Lyrics
What goes on in your mind?
Questioning what thoughts occupy your mind
I think that I am falling down
Feeling like I'm losing control or descending into a difficult situation
What goes on in your mind?
Reiterating the inquiry about your thoughts
I think that I am upside down
Perceiving a sense of disorientation or confusion
Baby, be good, do what you should
Encouragement to behave properly or do the right things
You know it will work alright
Assurance that following the right path will lead to a positive outcome
Baby, be good, do what you should
Repeated encouragement for proper behavior
You know it will be alright
Reassurance that things will turn out fine by doing what's expected
I'm going up, and I'm going down
Experiencing fluctuations, both highs and lows
I'm going fly from side to side
Feeling erratic or moving unpredictably
There are problems in this town
Acknowledging issues or challenges in the current environment
There is a nightmare all night
Describing a continuous distressing situation through the night
Baby, be good, do what you should
Advice to behave properly, ensuring things will be fine
You know it will be alright
Reiterating that proper conduct leads to a positive outcome
Baby, be good, do what you should
Repeated advice for proper behavior, predicting success
You know it will work alright
Emphasizing that following the right path will result in success
Here are we go again, make me fool again
Expressing a feeling of being fooled or misled again
Here are we go again, after the hurricane
Referencing a recurring turmoil or chaos after a difficult situation
One minute up, one minute down
Describing rapid shifts between opposing situations
How many up and how many down
Pondering the frequency of ups and downs experienced
What goes on in your mind?
Repeating the inquiry about thoughts and mental state
I think that I am upside down
Reaffirming a feeling of being disoriented or confused
Baby, be good, do what you should
Encouragement for proper behavior, ensuring a positive outcome
You know it will be alright
Reiterating that proper conduct leads to a favorable result
Baby, be good, do what you should
Repeated advice for proper behavior, predicting success
You know it will work alright
Emphasizing that following the right path will result in success
Here are we go again, what happen to you, my friend
Expressing confusion or concern about changes in a friend
Here are we go again, what happen to all my friend
Expressing confusion or concern about changes in multiple friends
How does it feel to be in love
Asking about the feeling of being in love
How does it feel to be in love
Repeating the inquiry about the sensation of love
How does it feel to be in love
-How does it feel to be in love
