Up and Down
Navigating Life's Ups and Downs: A Musical Journey of Self-Reflection
Lyrics
I walk up and down and up and down,
The singer repeatedly walks up and down every day.
Back up and down everyday.
Reiterates the daily routine of moving back up and down.
I'm getting kind of tired.
Expresses fatigue or weariness from the routine.
Talk to myself along the way,
The singer engages in self-talk during the walks.
People will start to think I'm crazy.
Concern about others perceiving the singer as crazy due to the behavior.
It keeps me sane, though.
Walking helps maintain the singer's sanity.
I stare too much and too long,
The singer stares for extended periods, risking unwanted attention.
I get busted all the time.
Getting caught staring frequently.
Does anyone really care
Raising a question about whether anyone truly cares.
Or do they get that compliment too often?
Speculation on receiving compliments too often.
I only hate what I don't like about myself.
Expressing dislike only for aspects the singer doesn't like about themselves.
I'm sorry if I see myself in you,
Apologizing if the singer sees their flaws reflected in someone else.
'cause there's nothing you can do.
Acknowledging the limitations of others to change or influence the singer.
I only trust as far as I can see
The singer trusts others only to the extent they can be visually confirmed.
And I forget all the things I trusted just weren't true.
Forgetting past instances where trust was misplaced.
Maybe if I believe in it just enough
Hopeful belief that if the singer believes in something enough, it may become a reality.
I'll remember that it really happened someday.
Expressing a desire to remember true events in the future.
I try so hard not to care what you think of me.
Struggling not to be affected by others' opinions.
I try so hard just to make you like me.
Putting effort into making a positive impression on others.
I try so hard not to care what you think of me.
Reiterating the challenge of disregarding others' opinions.
I try so hard just to make you like me.
Continued effort to gain approval or likability.
You rock it out like no one can.
Commending someone for their exceptional performance.
You rock it out like no one can.
Repeating admiration for someone's outstanding performance.
You rock it out like no one can.
Reiterating praise for someone's exceptional ability.
