We have never been much for proclaiming our greatness, hell, we can't even write a bio for ourselves cause it makes us feel like idiots. I guess the best way we can describe what we have to offer the world is honesty. We write and choose these songs delicately because we love them as if they are our children. Not because we want to be this kind of band or play this kind of song but because we are music fans playing what is enjoyable to our ears.
Thats the meaning behind BlindRHETORIC. It is what is spoken, with no ulterior motive. What you see is what you get.
Plain and simple that's us.
And we love you all for supporting that ideal
Always,
Justin, Brian, Kevin and Ben
VERTIGO
Blind Rhetoric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a vision, a hold, my own, might break
And one, "why," could unravel everything
I'll feed at my own rise, defeat at my eyes
There's a cold wind in this house
There's a cold wind inside
And I'm late for, oh late for my life
Oh well what about
Our lot of lows
Amphetamine to my hope
Theres a finite times the rooster crows
It's time to get a move on
Got a hook and cannot let it go, sad
Got a vision, a soul, my own, might break
And one, "why," could unravel everything
I'll feed at my own rise defeat at my eyes
Theres a cold wind in this house
Theres a cold wind inside
And I'm late for, oh, late for my life
Oh well what about
Our lot of lows
Amphetamine to my hope
Theres a finite times the rooster crows
It's time again
Face
Off
All your puppets bleed the same
See it
Son
Sold everything away
One
Tide
Wouldn't take me far away
Oh well what about
Our lot of lows
Amphetamine to my hope
Theres a finite times the rooster crows
It's time to get a move on
The lyrics of Blind Rhetoric's song "Vertigo" convey a sense of urgency and introspection. The song is about a protagonist who has a fish and cannot let it go, as well as a vision of life that might break. The line "And one, 'why,' could unravel everything" suggests that the singer is questioning their decisions and motivations. The line "I'll feed at my own rise, defeat at my eyes" seems to indicate that the singer is struggling with conflicting feelings of hope and defeat. The lines "There's a cold wind in this house / There's a cold wind inside" suggest a sense of unease or discomfort.
The chorus repeats the lines "Oh well what about / Our lot of lows / Amphetamine to my hope / There's a finite times the rooster crows / It's time to get a move on." The phrase "lot of lows" suggests that the singer has experienced struggles and setbacks, but is still holding onto hope ("amphetamine to my hope"). The line "finite times the rooster crows" implies that time is limited and precious, and that the singer needs to take action ("it's time to get a move on").
The final stanza uses short, fragmented lines to create a sense of urgency and intensity. The lines "See it / Son / Sold everything away" seem cryptic and open to interpretation. The line "One / Tide / Wouldn't take me far away" suggests that the singer is searching for escape or change, but is struggling to find it. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the need to take action and move forward.
