Vertigo
Cris Hodges Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey King, lemme see you′re gold crown
You're just a throw of the domino
Been waiting So I can start the countdown
Three,two,one at the buzzer let′s go

Steady, focus on the right now
Tune in like a radio
I see it right above your eyebrow
Yea because that's where my hands go

I give it all my heart
I give it all my soul
There ain't nothing left to give away
I can lead this charge
Push the fight or hold the guard
I got nothing you can take away

Drop and give me twenty, many pushing thru the feeling
Seated twenty thousand waiting for music to go

Cities taking aim and paying something like pretty penny
Giving everybody one hell of a show

(So don′t you back down)
You just another mile on the road
(So don′t you back down)
This is getting outta control

So get ready for the nitty gritty
Smile like you think you pretty

Yea because that's where my go

I give it all my heart
I give it all my soul
There ain′t nothing left to give away
I can lead this charge
Push the fight or hold the guard
I got nothing you can take away

Imma give you Vertigo
Yea because that's where my hands go

With my hands, more heart
With my eyes, more soul
I′ll make you feel a certain kinda pain

I give it all my heart
I give it all my soul
There ain't nothing left to give away
I can lead this charge




Push the fight or hold the guard
I got nothing you can take away

Overall Meaning

The song Vertigo by Cris Hodges is about being on top and fighting to maintain that position. The opening lines address a king with a "gold crown," asking to see it, as if to challenge his authority. The next verse deals with focusing on the present moment – "the right now" – and preparing for a challenge that is about to begin. The idea of a countdown is repeated as the song reaches its climax: "Three, two, one at the buzzer let's go." The third verse speaks to the physicality of the fight, with references to dropping to the ground to do pushups and the physical toll such a fight would take on the body.


The chorus emphasizes the commitment the singer has to the fight: "I give it all my heart, I give it all my soul, there ain't nothing left to give away." The singer acknowledges that he is leading this charge, but ultimately, he can't be broken. "I got nothing you can take away" shows his resolve and ultimately ends the song on a powerful note.

Vertigem

Ei, rei, deixe-me ver sua coroa de ouro
Você é apenas um lance de dominó
Estive esperando
Então eu posso começar a contagem regressiva
3, 2, 1 na campainha vamos lá

Firme, concentre-se no agora
Sintonize como um rádio
Eu vejo logo acima da sua sobrancelha
Sim, porque é onde minhas mãos vão

Eu dou todo o meu coração
Eu dou toda a minha alma
Não há mais nada para dar
eu posso levar esta carga
Empurre a luta ou segure a guarda
Eu não tenho nada que você possa tirar

Solte e me dê 20, muitos empurrando o sentimento
Sentado 20 mil esperando a música ir

Cidades mirando e pagando algo como um belo centavo
Dando a todos um show infernal

(Então não recue)
Você apenas mais uma milha na estrada
(Então não recue)
Isso está ficando fora de controle

Então prepare-se para o âmago da questão
Sorria como você se acha bonita

Sim, porque é onde minhas mãos vão

Eu dou todo o meu coração
Eu dou toda a minha alma
Não há mais nada para dar
eu posso levar esta carga
Empurre a luta ou segure a guarda
Eu não tenho nada que você possa tirar

Sim, porque é onde minhas mãos vão

Eu vou te dar vertigem

Sim, porque é onde minhas mãos vão

Com minhas mãos, mais coração
Com meus olhos, mais alma
Eu vou fazer você sentir um certo tipo de dor

eu posso levar esta carga
Empurre a luta ou segure a guarda
Eu não tenho nada que você possa tirar

Eu dou todo o meu coração
Eu dou toda a minha alma
Não há mais nada para dar

eu posso levar esta carga
Empurre a luta ou segure a guarda
Eu não tenho nada que você possa tirar

Sim, porque é onde minhas mãos vão
