Vertigo
Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my heart that I keep
Tucked away
Out of anybody's reach
It's ok if you're upset with me
How frustrating
Wish I could step
Out of my skin sometimes
For me to come around
Just forget it
Let's go to bed
What's one more day down
Say that you'll stay and
Hold on to me
Heights like this give me vertigo
Walls high as you can see
But can't we bring them down together
Watch them tumble down together
Hold on to me
I'm so sick of feeling vertigo
Walls high, I can't even see you
Can't we bring them down together
We can bring them to the ground together
Celebrate it
I try to be full of gratitude
You keep me weighted down
From the sheer height of solitude
It's the greatest thing
To love someone through it all
I can't erase the past
But I know that we both can last
If you say that you'll stay and
Hold on to me
Heights like this give me vertigo
Walls high as you can see
But can't we bring them down together
Watch them tumble down together
Hold on to me
I'm so sick of feeling vertigo
Walls so high, I can't even see you
Can't we bring them down together
We can bring them to the ground together
In "Vertigo" by Michael & Levan, the singer speaks of a place in their heart that they keep tucked away, out of anybody's reach. The person acknowledges that their actions may have led to someone being upset with them but expresses frustration in not being able to step out of their skin sometimes. The singer urges the person not to wait for them to come around and to forget it, instead coming to bed with them, as they celebrate the moment. Nevertheless, the walls are still high, and heights like this give the singer vertigo. They desire to bring the walls down together to make the world seem less lonely.
The song is a touching plea for emotional connection and support. It describes the feelings of isolation and vulnerability that can sometimes plague a person when they keep their emotions hidden away. The lyrics capture the sense of longing that comes with wanting someone to understand and accept us even when we can't explain ourselves fully. The appeal to bring the walls down together represents the hope that by sharing our struggles, we can connect and create a sense of belonging despite our differences. The song is a heartfelt invitation to love and be loved.
