Upright Lyrics (English Translation) – NEI

Upright (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: NEI]
This part talks about those sudden moments in life that come and go, leaving you feeling unsure of where to head next. The singer is stepping away from comfort and routine, trying to break free from repetition. Even though the path is unclear, the memory of a song from someone they care about becomes a source of comfort and guidance, like a small light in the dark. They accept that sometimes they can’t see everything clearly, and that’s okay—they let thoughts come naturally, write them down, and move on. There’s a sense of drifting, of taking journeys alone without always being connected, yet hoping to reconnect with others later. Time feels fluid; it’s easy to lose track and suddenly feel urgency. Despite uncertainty, they keep walking forward, carrying small lights of hope and memories that help them keep moving even when the way is dim or confusing. It’s about trusting your instincts, moving with your feelings, and finding strength in tiny things that matter to you.

[Chorus: NEI]
This chorus is about staying steady even in darkness. The singer takes a deep breath and keeps moving forward, recognizing that the journey isn’t over. Even when lost, a song or memory appears to guide them. It’s a reminder to stay present and keep going day by day.

[Verse 2: KID FRESINO]
This verse dives deep into living a life true to yourself, even if it’s difficult or strange. The singer expresses a determination to keep going, even when giving up feels tempting, embracing both their craziness and vulnerability. Every day carries quiet, unspoken hopes and prayers, and they long for connections that give meaning to life. There’s a mix of dreams and frustrations, like wanting to change the world but also learning hard truths about relationships and choices. Memories of friendships and past experiences are carried forward, reflected in the stamps on a passport or the stories shared at a table. Growing older brings a sense of heaviness, yet there’s still space for forgiveness, love, and simple joys like jokes and trivial conversations. Life is a mix of unsettled feelings, moments of solitude, and bonds that defy family ties. It’s about accepting time passing, facing uncertainties, and appreciating both deep friendships and small, everyday connections while continuing to move forward.

[Chorus: NEI]
Here, the chorus emphasizes continuing the journey even at night or during hard times. Taking a breath and moving forward, the singer finds guidance in unexpected songs or memories, staying upright and present despite being lost or far from the goal.
