Le blues du businessman

Hi guys, can you please help me to understand this line?

 

D'où je vois la ville à l'envers

 

What on earth is 'l'envers'?

"Needed in the chaos and confusion, from the plains to City Hall

Needed where the proud who walk the wire are set to fall"

This is my own interpretation, therefore i think the others have their own interpretation as well

 

i think that in this context, “l’envers” means from a height. Because previously the lyrics said “I have my own office at top of a tower”. So it can be like this:

 

J'ai mon bureau en haut d'une tour

D'où je vois la ville à l'envers

 

I have my own office at the top of a tower

From where i see the city from a height”
