Discover the story of the song > Upsides – Nic D

The protagonist is singing to their partner, asking them if they are awake and suggesting they have a conversation in the "upside down". They believe being with them has many positive qualities, but their partner is difficult to please and often misunderstands them. However, the protagonist plays along with their games even though they know they won't stay in the relationship for long. The song also touches on the theme of struggling with personal demons and holding back in conversations, and the need to be honest and direct.
