Vertigo Lyrics

Are we better off believing
What the ignorance suggests?
I wish living life was easy (life was easy, yeah)
But mine has been a mess
They say it comes with the seasons, mhm
But the seasons comes and go, they go
I go blurry when I'm thinking
Is it me or vertigo?

Criticized, who am I to give up?
And breathing, what's the reason to let up
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite record on

Are we alive?
Or are we dreaming?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Or are we dreaming? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)

I've been better off than broken
I've been battered, I've been beat
I wish I was more outspoken
But the words are out of reach
Hmm, thought I loved you in the moment
I was happy, I was not
I've been learning, I've been growing
But the worst is yet to come

Criticized, who am I to give up?
Breathing, what's the reason to let up
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite record on

Are we alive?
Or are we dreaming?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Or are we dreaming? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been falling with my
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes closed, eyes closed (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes low, eyes low (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes closed, eyes closed (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been, I've been, I've been
Eyes closed, eyes closed (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes low, eyes low (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes closed, eyes closed (vertigo)
I've been falling with my (vertigo)
Eyes low, eyes low (vertigo)
I've been falling with my

What is the Meaning of Vertigo?

In this introspective ballad, Khalid delves into the complexities of life's uncertainties and self-doubt. The titular 'vertigo' symbolizes a state of confusion and disorientation, reflecting his struggle to understand the world around him and his place within it. He questions the nature of reality - whether we're truly living or merely dreaming, hinting at existential anxieties. His lyrics reveal a battle with criticism and expectation, suggesting a longing for simplicity and clarity. Yet, there is also an undercurrent of resilience as he refuses to surrender despite life's challenges. The repeated lines about falling with 'eyes closed' or 'eyes low' could signify attempts to navigate through life's trials blindly or in a daze. This song is a poignant exploration of personal growth amidst chaos and uncertainty, resonating with anyone who has ever felt lost in their journey.
