Vertigo Lyrics
Unos dos tres catorce!
Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can't be bought
Your mind can wander
Hello hello
I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel
The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the
Boys play rock and roll
They know they can't dance
At least they know....
I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Oh oh oh oh
Hello hello
I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel, feel
Check mated
Hours of fun
Jumping in
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt....
Hello hello
We're at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Meaning of Vertigo
“Vertigo” plunges into a chaotic and alluring state of disorientation, exploring the intoxicating yet dangerous pull of desire and addiction. The lyrics depict a descent into a nightmarish landscape – “the jungle is your head,” “the night is full of holes” – where reason dissolves amidst overwhelming sensations. U2 captures a feeling of being trapped in a seductive vortex, symbolized by the name "Vertigo," representing everything one desperately doesn’t want to know. Despite the unsettling imagery and frantic energy, there's an undeniable connection offered through another person ("you"), providing a tangible “something to feel.” The song suggests a surrender to impulse, a willingness to risk it all for this intense experience, even if it leads to a destructive path, ultimately questioning whether control is truly possible within such overwhelming emotions.
