Dizzy
Esbie Fonte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round and round life’s appeal
Up and down
We go around
Round and round
The circle game
Orchestra pits
Up and through
The moves they groove
In life
I’m doing alright
I’m barely hanging on but that’s alright
Barely hanging, barely hanging on
Round and round
We go, again
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
In the end
Round and round
We go, again
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
In the end
Round and round infinity
The concept you taught me when I was three
The strongest number is one
That’s the song we sung
Round and round the Great Lakes
Where we used to ice skate
Didn’t know what was below
I just know you told me so
In life
I’m doing alright
I’m barely hanging on but that’s alright
Barely hanging, barely hanging on
Round and round
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
We go, again
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
In the end
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
Round and round
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
We go, again
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
In the end
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy)
Round and round
We go, again
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy in the end)
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
In the end
(We’re lucky if we get dizzy in the end)
We’re lucky if we get dizzy
In the end
"Dizzy" by Esbie Fonte explores the cyclical nature of life and the fleeting moments of joy and excitement we experience. The lyrics metaphorically compare life to a ferris wheel, a circle game, and infinity, emphasizing the repetitive nature of existence. The song suggests that we should appreciate and cherish the times when we feel "dizzy," symbolizing a sense of exhilaration and happiness.
The first verse establishes the theme of going round and round on the ferris wheel, which represents the ups and downs of life's appeal. It acknowledges the constant motion and uncertainty, as we continue to navigate through life's challenges. The line "up and down, we go around" suggests that we are constantly moving in different directions, trying to find balance and stability.
The second verse introduces the concept of the circle game and orchestra pits with no refrains, drawing attention to the repetitive patterns in life. The lyrics acknowledge the groove and rhythm of life's movements, suggesting that we should find joy in these moments. The chorus reinforces the idea that even though life may feel chaotic and overwhelming, it's okay to just hang on and go with the flow.
The third verse takes a nostalgic turn, referencing childhood memories of skating on the Great Lakes. The mention of not knowing what was below but being told by someone important implies that we often rely on others to guide us through life's uncertainties. The line "barely hanging, barely hanging on" suggests a sense of perseverance, acknowledging that life may be challenging, but we should find strength in our ability to keep going.
Overall, "Dizzy" encourages us to appreciate the unpredictable and fleeting moments of joy in life, even if they may be surrounded by chaos or uncertainty.
