Vertigo
Entourage s2 - U2 Lyrics

Unos, dos, tres, catorce
Counting off in Spanish, the band is preparing to launch into the song with a high-energy opening.

Lights go down, it's dark
The atmosphere inside the club grows more intense as the lights are dimmed and the show begins.

The jungle is your head, can't rule your heart
The chaotic thoughts and emotions inside your head are overwhelming and impossible to control.

A feeling's so much stronger than a thought
Emotions have the power to override logic and reason, leading you on a wild ride.

Your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought
You are caught up in the excitement and energy of the moment, with a sense of desire that money can't buy.

Your mind can wander
In this frenzied state, it's easy to get lost in your own thoughts and lose touch with reality.

I'm at a place called Vertigo
The crowd and the music are so intense that it can feel like you're losing your balance and being pulled in all directions.

It's everything I wish I didn't know
Deep down, you might not want to admit to yourself how much you crave this feeling of exhilaration and abandon.

Except you give me something I can feel, feel
The music and the crowd give you a tangible, physical sensation of excitement and euphoria.

The night is full of holes
The sky is filled with stars, but also with the bullet holes that suggest a time of violence and unrest.

'Cause bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
This line suggests a complex mix of beauty and horror, as the gunfire tears through the darkness and leaves behind a trail of sparks and light.

They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
The energy of the music is mirrored in the sparks and glitters of light created by the gunfire, lending a surreal quality to the moment.

They know that they can't dance, at least they know
The band is confident in their performance, even if they aren't necessarily graceful on the dance floor.

I can't stand the beat, I'm asking for the check
Despite the intensity of the music, there's a sense of restlessness that makes you want to leave the club and move on to the next thing.

Girl with crimson nails has Jesus around her neck
The girl is presumably religious, but also has an edgy, rebellious streak symbolized by her red nails.

Swinging to the music, swinging to the music
The girl is caught up in the same excitement as the rest of the crowd, swaying and moving to the rhythm of the music.

All of this can be yours, just give me what I want and no one gets hurt
The offer to surrender everything to take part in this experience has a coercive edge, as if there's a potential price to be paid for taking part.

We're at a place called Vertigo
The vertiginous, disorienting feeling of being at the club is the central metaphor for the song's message about the dangers and pleasures of letting go.

And all I know is that you give me something I can feel your love teaching me how
The intense sensation of being in the moment and caught up in the music becomes a lesson in how to love and feel deeply.

Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel
The willingness to surrender and submit to the experience mirrors the act of prayer or devotion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The repetition of yeah suggests a mindless, ecstatic release of energy and emotion that is hard to put into words.
