Vertigo
Alexa Dark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing right in the undertow
I could die from the vertigo
It's alright 'till the lights get low
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
In the night when I lose control
I get high and go down that road
In your eyes I get vertigo
But it's nice not to be alone
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
I'm falling
I know you want to pull me down (Je sais que tu veux me battre)
But I can't go back there (Mais je ne peux pas y retourner)
I'm so tired of pretending (Je ne peux plus faire semblant)
I'm so tired of being alone (J'en ai marre d'être seul)
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
I'm falling
The lyrics to "Vertigo" by Alexa Dark depict a struggle with inner turmoil and the desire to escape it. The opening lines convey the idea of trying to let go of something, but being caught in the overwhelming current of emotions ("Standing right in the undertow"). The mention of vertigo suggests a feeling of dizziness or disorientation, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of the situation. The lyrics reveal a sense of desperation, with the singer stating that they could even die from the vertigo. However, they also acknowledge that everything seems fine until the lights dim and reality sets in.
The repetition of the phrase "No, I can't go home again" suggests a longing for a place of comfort or familiarity that seems out of reach. The lyrics further express a desire to escape from one's own thoughts and mental state ("No, I can't be in my head"). This sense of falling down repeatedly represents a cycle of struggling and being unable to break free. The second verse explores the singer's tendency to lose control and seek temporary relief ("I get high and go down that road"). The mention of someone's eyes causing vertigo implies a strong connection or attraction, offering some solace from loneliness.
