Dizzy
Blake Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a 1980's old CD player
The way you spin my head am I Dead Or Alive?

Well you walked up in your retro fit
Then you kissed my lips
And you said "I don't wanna see you again"
If I was Spiderman, baby, you'd be Zendaya
'Cause you're the only one
That I can't get my head around
It's makin' me dizzy now
King of the game, you wear the crown
My friends won't live it down
Think I should know better now
It ain't fair

Baby, I can't figure you out, figure you out
'Cause one minute, you're in
The next, you're out
Can't figure it out, figure it out
Why I still stand it
I'm too dizzy now (I'm so dizzy)

You drive an old Mercedes but won't waste paper
Your favorite pop band's LANY but hate John Mayer
(What? John Mayer's sick, I know)

Oh, you walked up and you hit my cheek
And you kissed your teeth
And you said "Love, I hope I see you again"
If you were Padme, I could be your Darth Vader

'Cause you're the only one
That I can't get my head around
It's makin' me dizzy now
King of the game, you wear the crown
My friends won't live it down
Think I should know better now
It ain't fair

Baby, I can't figure you out, figure you out
'Cause one minute, you're in
The next, you're out
Can't figure it out, figure it out
Why I still stand it
I'm too dizzy now

'Cause you're the only one
That I can't get my head around
It's makin' me dizzy now
King of the game, you wear the crown
My friends won't live it down
Think I should know better now
It ain't fair

Baby, I can't figure you out, figure you out
'Cause one minute, you're in
The next, you're out
Can't figure it out, figure it out




Why I still stand it
I'm too dizzy now

Overall Meaning

In "Dizzy" by Blake Rose, the lyrics depict a tumultuous and confusing relationship. The song uses clever wordplay and pop culture references to convey the singer's frustration and bewilderment towards their love interest. The opening lines compare the person to a 1980's CD player, symbolizing their unpredictable and dizzying behavior. The reference to the band Dead or Alive adds to this imagery, as it's a play on words with the phrase "am I Dead or Alive?" emphasizing the confusion and uncertainty the singer feels.


The second verse introduces more quirky references, such as the mention of the love interest's taste in music (LANY and John Mayer), contrasting their preferences and creating a sense of mystery. The line "If you were Padme, I could be your Darth Vader" suggests a complex and potentially destructive dynamic between the two, drawing from the tumultuous relationship between characters in Star Wars.


Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the theme of the love interest being the only person the singer can't understand and how they make them feel dizzy. The singer recognizes the power dynamics in the relationship, with the love interest being the "king of the game" and wearing the metaphorical crown. The constant shifts in the love interest's behavior, from being in to being out, leave the singer unable to figure them out.
