We are going faraway
We are going faraway
From Utah
Don′t you look down
Don't you look down
Don't you look down
You are high above ground
We are driving with our friends
We are driving to a faraway place
Take it down to the ground
Take it down to the ground
Take it down to the ground
With me
Don't you think you′re high enough
Don′t you think you're high enough
Don′t you think you're high enough
For the fall
We are driving with our friends
We are driving to a faraway place
Faraway place
Faraway place

Don′t you think you're high enough
Don′t you think you're high enough
Don't you think you′re high enough

The song "Vertigo" by FM Belfast is an upbeat, electronic dance track that evokes feelings of freedom and escape. The lyrics talk about going on a road trip to a faraway place with friends, leaving Utah behind. The repeated phrase "don't you look down" could be interpreted as a reminder to stay focused on the moment and not worry about the future or the past. The line "you are high above ground" could also refer to the feeling of being elevated, both physically in a car and emotionally during an adventure.
The chorus repeats the phrase "take it down to the ground with me," which could be interpreted as a desire to live in the present and not get too caught up in dreams and aspirations. The line "don't you think you're high enough for the fall" could be interpreted as a warning against getting too caught up in the moment and not thinking about the consequences.
Overall, "Vertigo" by FM Belfast is a song about the excitement of leaving behind monotony and routine, taking a chance on adventure, and being present in the moment.
