Dizzy
Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You always make a scene
You're monochrome delirious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drownin' in your vanity
Your laugh is your disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away you dreams
Tear down your defenses
'Til there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are

Miss the late 90s and 2000's so much..not just because I was younger it was a great era for everything. The music, the movies, the video games, etc. Our culture was just better back then.
@jrwheeler81
Same. the 90s and the 2000s were the absolute best times ever. I'd give anything to be able to go back in time. I feel like everything started going straight downhill after 2009 or 2010. These days just suck.
@boudicca7181
Yes, the 90's was better--our culture was much better than today.
@Fluffyolphert
Plus the whole overall vibe just felt better
