A reason to be with you so I sacrificed
Some nights I lay awake

The lyrics to DJ Kent's song "Vertigo" featuring Samkelo Ndlovu explore the complex emotions and contradictions experienced in a tumultuous relationship. The song depicts a situation where the singer recognizes that being with their partner is not healthy or beneficial, yet they find themselves unable to let go and keep returning to them.
The opening verses convey this internal struggle. The singer acknowledges that they cannot find a valid reason to continue being with their partner but admits to being drawn back by their sweet gestures and deep love. The term "vertigo" is used metaphorically to describe the dizzying effect the relationship has on them, indicating a state of confusion and disorientation.
The chorus repeats the idea of vertigo, emphasizing the strong grip their partner has on them. The mention of seeing paradise in their partner's eyes suggests that despite the oscillation between highs and lows, there are moments of intense happiness and joy in the relationship. However, the singer is still unable to let go, perhaps due to fear of losing something precious.
In the next verse, the lyrics discuss the intoxicating effect that being around their partner has on them, comparing it to a fragrance. The line "our love ain't forced" underscores the organic nature of their connection, implying that they are meant to be together. The singer appears confused about their own feelings and is distressed by the possibility of their partner leaving, indicating the depth of their attachment.
The repetition of the chorus reaffirms the singer's inability to let go, continuing to describe the overwhelming impact their partner has on them. The final lines of the song express the emotional impact of their love, bringing tears to their eyes and creating a feeling of reaching new heights. The concept of paradise, once again mentioned, emphasizes the transcendent and captivating nature of their relationship.
Overall, "Vertigo" delves into the complexity of a love that is both exhilarating and challenging. It explores the conflict between recognizing the toxicity of a relationship and the inability to break free from its grip due to deep emotional connections.
Line by Line Meaning
It was a light night when I realized
In a moment of clarity during a tranquil evening
That I couldn't find
I couldn't discover
A reason to be with you so I sacrificed
A justification to be with you, so I made compromises
Some nights I lay awake
Sometimes I stay awake at night
And that's got to take it away cause
And that's very distressing because
You not good for me, You shouldn't be with me
You are not beneficial for me, it's not right for you to be with me
But I just keep coming back
But I continue to return
I wanna tell you, But you kissing me so sweet
I want to confess, but your affectionate kisses prevent me from doing so
Oh, I wanna walk away, You loving me so deep
Oh, I desire to leave, but your intense love for me holds me back
You give me vertigo
You make me feel dizzy and disoriented
I just can't let you go
I simply cannot release you from my grasp
Swear I've seen paradise
I assure you, I have glimpsed heaven
I've seen it in your eyes, Oh
I have witnessed it within the depths of your gaze, Oh
Let you go
Allowing you to depart
In your eyes
Within the windows to your soul
There is a fragrance about you
There is an enchanting aroma emanating from your being
The sound of your name causes it
The mere sound of your name evokes this scent
I didn't know that we had to
I was unaware that we had to
Prove we didn't have to force it
Demonstrate that our love is not fabricated
Cause our love ain't forces
Because our love is natural and authentic
And I'm crazy cause I don't know why
And I feel irrational because I cannot fathom the reasons
And If you leave my heart will surely die
And if you depart, my heart will undoubtedly perish
Vertigo
Dizziness and disorientation
Clear as skies
As transparent as the heavens
Vertigo baby
Dizziness and disorientation, darling
In your eyes
Contained within your gaze
(Its vertigo can't let you go)
(It is dizziness and disorientation, I cannot release you)
Vertigo honey (It's paradise)
Dizziness and disorientation, my darling (It is heaven)
(It's in your eyes)
(It is within your gaze)
Clear as skies (It's clear as skies)
As transparent as the heavens (It is as transparent as the heavens)
Vertigo
Dizziness and disorientation
Let you go (Can't let you go)
Allowing you to depart (I cannot release you)
Paradise
Heavenly bliss
In your eyes (It's in your eyes)
Contained within your gaze (It is within your gaze)
Your love made me cry
Your love caused me to shed tears
Tears fell from my eyes
Droplets cascaded from my eyes
I could touch the sky
I had the sensation of reaching the heavens
Swear I've seen paradise
I promise, I have witnessed paradise
Vertigo yeah
Dizziness and disorientation, yeah
I love you Vertigo
I adore you, dizziness and disorientation
I love you Vertigo
I adore you, dizziness and disorientation
