about

'Despite one of the synths suggesting a Stranger Things reference, this song is more inspired by the story of Mary Poppins! The lyrics deal with the family conflict of a father figure being completely absorbed in work life or controlling his family in a certain way that his children suffer for it. It's a common day to day tragic scenario and I wanted to write a song that tells the story of a young person finding the resilience to overcome any type of abuse and choosing to take control of their future and find a resolution.'

lyrics

Precision and order
Is how you’ve always wanted things
And I am sorry to say
I will not play a part of this

You have given me much
I guess I owe you as much as that
You may have your dreams
But I have mine

We are turned upside down
We are turned upside down

Did you not once think about
All the things you said?
And all the hurt, the pain, the anguish
You have caused to get your own way.
Possessive and controlling-
Your nature’s Kafka-esque
And as I will recover
I refuse to have a part of this

You come home from work
And you pour yourself a drink
And it seems that lately
You stop much more to think

All of this pressure
and all of this divide
Is enough to leave one
So unsatisfied

We are turned upside down
We are turned upside down

Have you thought about it
All the things you’ve done
Your health and us you’ve
Sacrificed to signify yourself, become someone
Possessive and controlling
Has it always been your way?
But if we have at all a future
Then this has got to change

Turn things back around
Let us fix all that we have
What relief it is to know
Forgiveness at last
I have found my feet
I hope you can be happy for me
If you truly love me
I know you’ll set me free.
