What Is Up
Unveiling Secrets: Decoding Green Onions Experience's 'What Is Up'
Lyrics
What did you do when you saw him come down the street
Asking about the observer's reaction upon seeing someone coming down the street
Was it the feeling you always thought you had for me
Questioning if the observer's emotions match what they believed they felt for the speaker
Everybody's talking now
Noting that there is widespread conversation or gossip taking place
What's up with you
Asking about the current state or situation of the person being addressed
What's up with me
Asking about the current state or situation of the speaker
It was so cold I remember we didn't stay for tea
Recalling a cold memory and the decision not to stay for tea
You pulled me hard towards the car where I could hear the beat
Describing being pulled towards a car where music or a beat is audible
Everybody's thinking now
Observing that people are contemplating or reflecting on something
What's up with you
Asking again about the current state or situation of the person being addressed
What's up with me
Asking again about the current state or situation of the speaker
Things are gone, things are lost, what a tragedy
Expressing the loss of things as a tragedy
For what we know, for what we have, it's just a passing thing
Suggesting that what is known and possessed is transient or fleeting
Everybody's finding out
Noting that people are discovering or realizing something
What's up with you
Asking again about the current state or situation of the person being addressed
What's up with me
Asking again about the current state or situation of the speaker
What did you do, do you know, what is wrong with me
Asking what actions were taken and questioning what is wrong with the speaker
Did you liked, did you want to see me in misery
Inquiring whether the observer enjoyed or desired to witness the speaker in misery
Everybody's talkin, now
Highlighting ongoing conversations or discussions among people
What's up with you
Asking again about the current state or situation of the person being addressed
What's up with me
Asking again about the current state or situation of the speaker
