Liliac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it just a crazy dream?
Illusions in my mind
Seeing black and white
The wheel never stops turning
The silence only gets louder
No one really knows why
I feel like no one tries to save me
Oh no, the walls are closing in
Well, ah-ah, the sky is falling down
The world just keeps on spinning
And did I lose my mind!?
You always drive me crazy
I'm never satisfied
Something takes away my vision
Am I going insane?
Rocking back and forth
I′m lying on the floor
Break me out because I′m twisted
Hypnotizing situation
Pretending all you feel is pain
Vortex of the mind
Hours left behind
Is this the final destination?
Oh no, the walls are closing in
Well, ah-ah, the sky is falling down
The world just keeps on spinning
Did I lose my mind!?
You always drive me crazy
I'm never satisfied
Re-wind to the beginning
Going back in time
I′ll never reach the ending
Nothing pacifies
Falling down
The whole world spins around me
Madness
My soul is fading out
Hearing the voices
Screaming loud
I see the light holding on
The world just keeps on spinning
And did I lose my mind!?
You always drive me crazy
I'm never satisfied
Rewind to the beginning
Going back in time
I′ll never reach the ending
And nothing pacifies
Ohhhh, hmm
Ohhhh
I got to stay alive
To stay alive
The lyrics to Liliac's song "Vertigo" depict a sense of confusion, desperation, and a feeling of being trapped in a nightmarish state. The singer is awake but feels trapped in a never-ending nightmare, questioning if what they are experiencing is just a crazy dream or a true reality. They see the world in black and white, and the constant spinning and turning of the wheel intensifies their feelings of despair.
The silence around the singer grows louder, indicating a sense of isolation and loneliness. They feel like no one is there to save them from their torment. The walls closing in and the sky falling down symbolize a suffocating and overwhelming feeling of being trapped and helpless. The world continues to spin, and the singer wonders if they have lost their mind in the process. The relationship with someone else seems to add to their feelings of madness and dissatisfaction. They are questioning their sanity, feeling twisted and broken. Despite the desperation, they hold on to a glimmer of hope, seeing a light and vowing to stay alive.
Overall, "Vertigo" presents a vivid portrayal of mental and emotional turmoil, capturing the struggle of feeling trapped in a never-ending nightmare and the search for a way to stay alive amidst the chaos.
