Vertigo
Liliac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m awake but It's a nightmare
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
Spinning ′round and I'm falling to the ground
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
