VORTEX
Jinjer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like A Lunatic, Frantic
The Man In The Room Looks So Dramatic
With A Left Shoe On His Right Foot
This Spiral Traffic Feels Too Traumatic, Too Traumatic

Quiet
The Man Is Wandering Around
Where's The Way Out He Never Found?
And Inside
There's A Ball Made Of Lead
It's Rolling And Rumbling On Parquet

Oh How Heavy Is The Ball!
It Bends His Spine To The Very Ground
Neither His Nor Another
Enormous, Ludicrous

Oh How Heavy Is His Thought!
In A Half An Hour Or So
It Crushed The Floor
And Smashed The Man's Toes

Oh How Heavy Is His Thought!
In A Half An Hour Or So
It Crushed The Floor
And Smashed The Man's Soul

(Whirl) Through The Black Hole In The Floor
(Spin) I Begin My Whirl
(Swirl) I'm A Driftwood With No Strength
(Spin) Without Soul, With No Will

Like A Feather I Travel Down (A Spiral Staircase)
One More Loop Through Abyss (Where Stairs Are Erased)
Like A Feather I Travel Down (A Spiral Staircase)
Falling Deeper Than It Is (All Stairs Are Erased)

Through Rapids And Stones
I Came Like Water And Like Wind I Go
Through Rapids And Stones
I Came Like Water And Like Wind I Go

Spin! Swirl!
Whirl! Spin! Swirl!




SWIRL
Whirl! Spin! Swirl!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jinjer's song Vortex depict a man who seems to be suffering from extreme anxiety and disorientation. He is wearing a left shoe on his right foot, which in itself suggests a deep confusion. The spiral traffic feels traumatic to him and he is wandering around looking for a way out that he never seems to find. Meanwhile, there is a heavy ball made of lead inside his head that is rolling and rumbling on the parquet. This ball is so heavy that it bends his spine to the ground and crushes his soul as well as his toes. He is trapped in a vortex and he is spiraling down through the black hole in the floor, his stairs erased, falling deeper than it is.


The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the state of the human mind in a modern world that is becoming increasingly complex, fragmented, and chaotic. The man in the song represents the alienation, anxiety, and confusion that many people experience in the face of an overwhelming reality that they cannot fully comprehend or control. The ball made of lead is a symbol of the burden of negativity, anxiety, and despair that we carry within us. The vortex is a symbol of the forces that pull us down, the forces of darkness that we must overcome if we are to rise up and find our way out of the maze.

What a time to be alive where Tatiana and Courtney are blessing us with these killing vocals. Jinjer and Spiritbox are peaking!

Sabrina Teixeira

And Vicky Psarakis from the agonist!

Sauri Sauron

Spiritbox should not be considered as metal genre at all , its too soft , too much light singing etc. In my opinion ofc :D her screams also sound not so good tho comparing to Tati :D

Sabrina Teixeira

@Sauri Sauron I agree with you on that. Spiritbox is a good band but I don’t understand their fame.
