Vertigo
Mathieu Koss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch us floating up to the sky
We look down at the crowd
Everybody's running wild
Think we should stay here for a while
When the world feels crazy
I'd rather take things slow
I can let go of my vertigo
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Head up in the clouds
I don't wanna touch the ground
Keep on floating up through the sky
Don't wanna come down to the sound
Of people running round and round
I think we should stay here for a while
When the world feels crazy
I'd rather take things slow
And whеn we're up therе baby i can let go
I can let go of my vertigo
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
When the world drove me crazy
It made me feel so low
I needed someone to save so I could get up
And I could let go of my vertigo
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada
Padapapadapada Papadapada

Look up, time to leave we're defying gravity
Let's change our perspective and rise above the challenges and constraints we face
Watch us floating up to the sky
Observe how we effortlessly ascend and escape from the mundane
We look down at the crowd
We observe the chaos and frenzy happening below us
Everybody's running wild
Everyone is caught up in their own frenzy and losing themselves
Think we should stay here for a while
Let's choose to remain in this elevated state for some time
When the world feels crazy
In moments when everything seems chaotic and overwhelming
I'd rather take things slow
I prefer to approach things at a relaxed pace
And when we're up there baby I can let go
Up here, I can finally release all my inhibitions
I can let go of my vertigo
I can finally overcome my fear and unease
Head up in the clouds
My mind is consumed by dreams and imagination
I don't wanna touch the ground
I don't want to be confined by reality or limitations
Keep on floating up through the sky
Continuously soaring higher, defying gravity and constraints
Don't wanna come down to the sound
I don't want to be brought back to reality by the noise around me
Of people running round and round
The constant busyness and repetition of others' lives
When the world feels crazy
During times of chaos and confusion
I'd rather take things slow
I choose to approach life with a calm and measured pace
And when we're up there baby I can let go
In this elevated state, I can finally release all my inhibitions
I can let go of my vertigo
I can break free from my fears and uncertainties
When the world drove me crazy
When the chaos and madness of the world overwhelmed me
It made me feel so low
It caused me to sink into a state of sadness and despair
I needed someone to save so I could get up
I required someone's support to lift me out of that low state
And I could let go of my vertigo
So that I could finally overcome my fears and anxieties
