Vertigo
Anton Golden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We just set a tone
Feels like vertigo
You've been letting go
Please just take it slow
Feels like vertigo
Falling with no one to catch me
No one, not even my family
Probably because of my black tee
But it ain't as black as my soul
I don't mean like Luther Vandross
I think i'm becoming a ghost
To all of the people I know
Maybe I should go
We just set a tone
Feels like vertigo
You've been letting go
Please just take it slow
Feels like vertigo
This time i'm done and I mean it
I'm tired of everyone leaving
I know how it goes 'cause I seen it
And i'm getting used to this feeling
'Cause i've been alone on the low
Ain't even been leaving my home
UPS see me the most
'Cause people they come and they go
Maybe I should go
We just set a tone
Feels like vertigo
You've been letting go
Please just take it slow
Feels like vertigo
Feels like vertigo
Feels like vertigo
The lyrics of Anton Golden's song "Vertigo" convey a sense of uncertainty and detachment in the artist's life. The repeated phrase "Feels like vertigo" represents the disorienting and dizzying feeling that comes with constantly feeling off balance. The first stanza suggests a desire to distance oneself from a situation or relationship, symbolized by the line "Maybe I should go." The phrase "We just set a tone" hints at a shared experience or connection that has now become overwhelming.
The second stanza delves deeper into the artist's feelings of isolation and being misunderstood. The line "I'm tired of everyone leaving" reflects a sense of abandonment, possibly due to a pattern of people coming and going in the artist's life. The reference to being a "black sheep" and the color black in general suggests feelings of being an outsider or different from the norm. The mention of a "black tee" could be a metaphor for the darkness within the artist's soul.
The chorus expresses a longing for stability and a plea for someone to slow down the pace. The phrase "Falling with no one to catch me" highlights a fear of being left alone, without support or a safety net. The overall tone of the song is introspective and melancholic, with the artist questioning their place in the world and their ability to form lasting connections.
