Up From The Bottom

Song Title: Up From The Bottom
Artist: Linkin Park
Release Date: March 27, 2025
Duration: 3:04
Genre: Alternative rock, Rap rock, Metal

What the song is about: Up From The Bottom is a song about the weight of feeling trapped, unheard, and suppressed. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone struggling in isolation, as if they’re stuck at the bottom of a pit, staring upward with no clear way out. The song highlights the mental toll of being in a painful place for too long.

The verses are about suffocation, silence, and holding emotions in until they’re nearly unbearable. The “ceiling” metaphor suggests limits placed by others, while the “drain” and “bottom” refer to a sense of spiraling and hopelessness.

[Chorus]
You keep me waitin' down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escapin', but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom

Twilight Zone

Artist: Ariana Grande
Release Date: March 28, 2025
Duration: 3:18

What the song is about: Twilight Zone is a song about the emotional aftermath of a relationship that felt surreal but was deceptive. The singer questions whether the entire experience was real or just a dream. They question their own perceptions, feeling as though they were stuck in a “twilight zone,” trapped between reality and illusion.

It’s about coming to terms with the fact that you were emotionally affected by something, while also trying to accept the truth and find closure.

[Chorus]
And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened

All night, I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on (Come on), come on (Come on), come on (Come on)

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, tomorrow can wait, losing time in this place
Till the sun is awake, be like a magnet on me
I don't care what they say, we can do it our way
And if love's just a game, then comе and play

[Chorus]
Azizam
Meet me on the floor tonight
Show me how to movе like the water
In between the dancing lights
Be mine, be mine, azizam
