Vortex Surfer
Motorpsycho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if she said so
That would change it all
If she said so
I would cushion her fall
And if it felt right,
She'd let me know the plan
Take my hand
And explain to me so i could understand
Why she said so

If she said so
It would be too much like death
If she said so
I would eat her breath
If she said so
I'd know all the lies
But i'd wipe out white
And never even ask the reason why
She said so

And never end
Go back to start
And never say
When i fall apart
And never stoop
To complain
About the pain

This song was voted the best song of the last century in Norway. It got played on national radio on a loop for 24 hours.

Luca Tommasini

@Glekors the Golden core for me.

Alfredo Lecuona

Best song ever

Urs Basteck

I may very well have (consciously?) listened to it for the first time today and while best song of the century is quite a stretch, Norway did nothing wrong.

Chiara Ultranoia

What a beautiful country is Norway!!!

Stefan Göttsche

​@Kjetil Glomsrud-Pedersen Not hacked, but the fan mailinglist made sure everyone knew you could vote more than one time. Which most people did. Dunno how many times i voted, but a lot.

I still remember the first time I heard this song. Still get goose bumps from that insane bass tone. Motorpsycho at their very best.

Are You Bored?

YES. EPIC.

Daniele Gaspari

Probably their best song ever. Proud of being their fan since 1996

I remember exactly when I first heard the Song. It was a hot Summer in 2001 and a Thunderstorm was pulling up. On daytime, it was dark and the Animals silence. A buddy turned this Song on and I thought the World goes down. The Song ended and animals was back and the the thunderstorm dont hit us directly, moved away. Next day i bought the album
