VERTIGO
Forsaken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path of mystic rites
Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman
An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun
[chorus:]
A celebration of existence,
The guiding light,
Embrace the molten night.
Drink the sweet splendour
The wine of youth
Vertigoes of yesterday
Lie to the truth
Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain
I lick the wounds of my crucified past
Shed the skin of your forgotten self
Join me, worship, the verbose deity
Repeat chorus.
Rubicons of rage holler inside me
Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes
Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants
On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
The wombs of remembrance wither in flames
Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth
Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate
I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
[solo:Dan]
As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
The lyrics of Forsaken's song Vertigo depict a journey of self-discovery and indulgence, marked by the celebration of existence and the embrace of both past and future vertigoes. The singer speaks of their past experiences of hedonism and mysticism, and the joys of love and the illusion of wisdom. They invite the listener to join them and learn the songs of the nameless shaman, promising a journey through the dawn of the golden sun. The chorus serves as a reminder to celebrate life and even the moments of vertigo, both past and future, and to embrace the 'molten night', or the uncertainties that life brings.
The second verse of the song speaks of the pains of the past and the need to shed the skin of a forgotten self. The singer refers to themselves as someone who has undergone crucifixion, and is licking the wounds. They invite the listener to worship the verbose deity, perhaps an allusion to the force of life that is all-knowing yet difficult to describe. The next lines speak of shades of grey laughter and voices in unseen places, evoking a sense of the unknown and the mystical.
In the final verse, the singer talks of remembrance and sorrow, but also of happiness and wonder, describing the journey as one filled with brazen fires quiescent in silence. They acknowledge that beneath the dream lies the emptiness of reality, but nonetheless continue to fly through the cavalcades of null emotion, perhaps signifying the acceptance of the unknown and uncertainty that comes with life.
Overall, Forsaken's Vertigo is a song that invites the listener to embrace the vertigoes of life, to celebrate existence and to accept the unknown, even amidst sorrow and pain.

I have lived the illusion of wisdom and tasted the joys of love
I thought I was wise and experienced love but it turned out to be an illusion
I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path of mystic rites
I have indulged in pleasure seeking and explored spiritual rituals
Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman
Come with me and learn the music of an unknown spiritual leader
An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun
A journey at sunrise to greatness
[chorus:]
A celebration of existence,
The guiding light,
Vertigoes of tomorrow,
Embrace the molten night.
Drink the sweet splendour
The wine of youth
Vertigoes of yesterday
Lie to the truth
Celebrate life's existence, embrace the unknown future, enjoy the sweet memories from the past, but don't let them deceive you
Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain
I lick the wounds of my crucified past
Grieved by suffering, I nurse the wounds of my tormented history
Shed the skin of your forgotten self
Join me, worship, the verbose deity
Forget the old version of yourself and follow me in praise of a god who speaks a lot
Repeat chorus.
Reiterate the chorus
Rubicons of rage holler inside me
Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes
My anger rages within, while laughter and sadness mix within me
Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants
On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire
Faces carved in rocks sing incantations in deserted places while I create music on the back of a snake
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
Quiet flames burn within me
The wombs of remembrance wither in flames
Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth
Memories fade away while happiness contrasts with sadness
Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate
I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness
Lost in the dark, yet the feeling of pleasure prevails
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
Quiet flames burn within me
As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
I am emotionless as I move forward, yet underneath this fantasy, there is a void
