Vértigo
Jump Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaning from the balcony
As if without a care
Wondering should I take the fall
Of should I take the stairs
Have I already fallen over
And now spinning in the air
I don't know
'Cause I'm in this vertigo

Leaning from a precipice
That only love would dare
Spinning in a gravity
That only love could bear
Were I to tumble from this cloudy high
How would I fare
Take it slow
I'm in this vertigo

Take me down
Down to where the rain falls
Down where the rain can wash away this high
I feel I've gone
Beyond the edge and falling
Falling like tears that turn to snow
Falling in this vertigo

Leaning from the balcony
Above the interstate
Will I come around too soon
Or will it be too late
Surely there's only one direction I could go at this rate
Down below
I'm in this vertigo

Take me down
Down to where the rain falls
Down where the rain can wash away this high
I feel I've gone
Beyond the edge and falling
Falling like tears that turn to snow
Falling in this vertigo

If I had my way, I woul,d stay up here forever
And never look down
But surely it will come, 'cause I've always had that feeling
Of rushing the ground
Rushing the ground

Leaning from the balcony
As if without a care
Wondering should I take the fall
Of should I take the stairs

Take me down
Down to where the rain falls
Down where the rain can wash away this high
I feel I've gone
Beyond the edge and falling




Falling like tears that turn to snow
Falling in this vertigo

Line by Line Meaning

Leaning from the balcony
Standing on the edge of a balcony


As if without a care
Seeming carefree while standing on the edge


Wondering should I take the fall
Considering whether to jump off the balcony


Of should I take the stairs
Or take the safer route down the stairs


Have I already fallen over
Questioning whether the fall has already happened


And now spinning in the air
Feeling disoriented and dizzy


I don't know
Uncertain of what's happening


'Cause I'm in this vertigo
Because I'm in a state of dizziness


Leaning from a precipice
Standing on the edge of a cliff


That only love would dare
A dangerous situation that only love would make someone risk


Spinning in a gravity
Feeling disoriented due to the pull of love


That only love could bear
A situation that only love can handle


Were I to tumble from this cloudy high
If I were to fall from this emotional high


How would I fare
How would I handle it


Take it slow
Be careful, don't rush


I'm in this vertigo
I'm in a state of dizziness


Take me down
Bring me down


Down to where the rain falls
To a lower, more grounded place


Down where the rain can wash away this high
Where the rain can wash away the emotional high


I feel I've gone
I feel like I've gone too far


Beyond the edge and falling
Over the edge and falling down


Falling like tears that turn to snow
Falling like tears that freeze and become cold


Falling in this vertigo
Falling while feeling dizzy


Above the interstate
Overlooking a busy highway


Will I come around too soon
Will I recover too quickly


Or will it be too late
Or will it be too late to recover


Surely there's only one direction I could go at this rate
It seems like falling is the only option


Down below
To the ground below


If I had my way, I would stay up here forever
If I could choose, I would stay in this emotional high forever


And never look down
And never come back down to reality


But surely it will come, 'cause I've always had that feeling
But reality will come eventually, because I know it will


Of rushing the ground
Of falling back down to reality


Take me down
Bring me down


Falling like tears that turn to snow
Falling like tears that freeze and become cold


Falling in this vertigo
Falling while feeling dizzy
