VERTIGO
Jeremias Meinhard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Casting away the darkness together
Sealing the demons within
Just a folly during playtime
To me was everything
Singing tender love songs to you,
My arms wrapped gently‚ around your waist
Now seems like an old children's tune
Repeating in my head

La, la, la, la...

A good night's sleep I kissed good night
On the day I saw you for the first time
To you dear, my funny Valentine
A kiss that meant "bye bye"

Shivering in the dark, freezing in my soul
Every single thought is circling around you
Shivering in the dark, freezing in my soul
You're still in my heart, I have lost control

Singing in the darkness, deep within myself
Every single note is crying out to you
Singing in the darkness, deep within myself
Trembling in my heart, nothing left to do

All out, I acted all out
Far out, we were far out
We were far out
All out, I acted all out
Far out, we were far out
We were far out

La, la, la, la...

Sitting in the dark, deep within myself
Every single thought is circling around you
Sitting in the dark, deep within myself
You're still in my heart, there's nothing I could do

Shaking in the darkness of my tortured soul
Every single thought is all messed up by you
Shaking in the darkness of my tortured soul
Trembling in my heart, I have no control

All out, I acted all out
Far out, we were far out
We were far out

Shivering in the dark, freezing in my soul
Every single thought is circling around you
Shivering in the dark, freezing in my soul
You're still in my heart, I have lost control

Singing in the darkness, deep within myself
Every single note is crying out to you
Singing in the darkness, deep within myself
Trembling in my heart, nothing left to do

All out, I acted all out
Far out, we were far out
We were far out
All out, I acted all out
Far out, we were far out
We were far out
All out, I acted all out




Far out, we were far out
We were far out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jeremias Meinhard's song 'Vertigo' speak about the pain and struggle one goes through when they fall deeply in love and then lose it. The song begins with the idea of two people fighting against their inner demons together, indulging in playful activities, and singing sweet songs to each other. However, the love that once felt like everything to the singer has now turned into a distant memory that haunts him. He can't seem to forget the person he loved, even though he knows it's impossible to go back to those times. The line "A kiss that meant 'bye-bye'" signifies the finality of the end of the relationship.


The second stanza speaks of the singer's state of mind after the breakup. He is shivering in the darkness of his soul and can't stop thinking about his former lover. He is so consumed by his thoughts that he can't distinguish one from the other. The singer feels like he has lost all control over his emotions, and every single note he sings is a cry for his lost love. In the end, the singer comes to terms with the fact that he acted out and was far out from reality during his time with his lover, and now he has to face the painful consequences of his actions.

I think if Jeremías could speak Japanesse, he could be the perfect choice to be the new vocalist of Malice Mizer...

@KreeZafi

+Martin Alejandro Patiño Noguera Oh god, yes! I was just thinking about how Japanese this seemed. Since Mana is still active, I could definitely see them working together with something. That would be really neat.

Holy shit, I was listening to this and thought he would be perfect for Japanese Anime music.
