Backwards on My Face
Upside Down Hearts: Twilight Omens in Love
Lyrics
Twilight omens in my life
The repetition of "Twilight omens in my life" suggests a sense of foreboding or mysterious signs impacting the speaker's life.
Twilight omens in my life
-Twilight omens in my life
-Twilight omens in my life
-Should I give you a call, what can I say?
The speaker contemplates reaching out to someone, unsure of what to say, and wonders if the other person's feelings have remained unchanged.
Maybe you still feel the same
-I typed your number into my calculator
The speaker playfully uses a calculator to spell out the person's name, creating a whimsical connection to the idea of turning things upside down.
Where it's spelled it as you would
-When you turn it upside down
-I wrote your name upon the back of my hands
The speaker physically writes the person's name on their hands, and waking up with it "backwards on my face" may symbolize a humorous or unexpected consequence of their thoughts and dreams.
Slept upon it and I woke up with it backwards on my face
-Reading forwards in my mirror to my heart
-Twilight omens in my life
Reiteration of the ominous feeling, emphasizing its persistent presence in the speaker's life.
Then I hear your name, hear the radio sing your name
Hearing the person's name on the radio adds a layer of external confirmation or influence to the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
Should give you a call, what can I say?
Similar to lines 6-8, the speaker contemplates making a call, expressing uncertainty about the other person's feelings.
Maybe you still feel the same
-I keep hearing your name
The repetition of "I keep hearing your name" reinforces the persistent impact of the person on the speaker's thoughts.
I keep hearing your name
-Keep hearing your name
-I hear the radio sing your name
Hearing the person's name on the radio is repeated, underscoring its significance and perhaps highlighting the external, almost fateful, nature of their connection.
Hear the radio sing your name
-Hear the radio sing your name
