VERTIGO
Mini Mansions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh you know me from all my videos,
Isn't it time we hit the road?
Oh, you want me, that's all you need to know
Wish you were mine, I got to go

Oh you miss me, our love's in stereo.
Isn't it finer in mono?
Oh you feel me, I rim from head to toe.
You say goodbye I say hello.

Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that vertigo
Oh you know, honey
Get your loving on the low
Don't you know ya give me that vertigo

Strictly stick shift witchcraft
She's miss been there, did that.
Bought the cat suit
I'm not used to raising the roof then telling the truth
I thought I wasn't but I was losing my mind
When she showed me how the night was supposed to sound
I realized that then whenever I shut my eyes

Well there she offered, looking like a million dollars
In a briefcase or a duffle bag by high noon tomorrow
Just make sure you're not followed
And since you're such a stunner
Send her something sunset coloured
Let's make love to one another
Run for Cover.

Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that vertigo
Oh you know, honey
Get your loving on the low
Don't you know ya give me that vertigo

Oh you need me, a cancer from the sky
Burning up life, too cool to die.
Oh you move me, crescendos cuff the link
She is on the verge, I'm on the brink.

What's the line, where's your mind, what's it for?
What's the time, did you find what you're dying for?
What's the night, where's the light from the door?
What's the life, where's the knife you keep hiding for?
Where's the rhyme from the lines on before?
Was it mine, just the kind you've been fighting for?

Some RX, are you next, are you more?
Where's my mind, what's that knock on the door?

Oh you know, that's your M.O.
Oh you know, that vertigo
Oh you know, honey, get your loving on the low
Don't you know ya give me that vertigo?

Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that vertigo
Oh you know, honey




Get your loving on the low
Don't you know ya give me that vertigo

Overall Meaning

The song "Vertigo" by Mini Mansions seems to be about a torrid love affair, with the singer being swept up in the excitement of it all. The first verse suggests that the person they are speaking to knows them primarily from their videos, but they are ready to hit the road together. The chorus repeats the titular phrase "Vertigo," which could be interpreted as the feeling of being dizzy from the love and passion in their relationship. The second verse is a bit more cryptic, with lines about "stick shift witchcraft" and "raising the roof then telling the truth," implying that perhaps they are engaging in wild behavior to keep their love going. The third verse is even more abstract, with lines about a "cancer from the sky" and "crescendos cuff the link."


Overall, it seems that Mini Mansions is exploring the intoxicating feeling of being in an all-consuming relationship, where everything else falls away and the only thing that matters is the love that they share. The repetition of the line "get your loving on the low" could imply that they are trying to keep their passionate affair a secret, or perhaps they are just reveling in the feeling of knowing something that nobody else does.

LYRIC
Vertigo feat. Alex Turner lyrics
(Your welcome)

Oh, you know me, from all my videos
Isn't it time we hit the road?
Oh, you want me, that's all you need to know
Wish you were mine, I got to go
Oh, you miss me, our love's in stereo
Isn't it finer in mono???
Oh, you feel me, I rim from head to toe
You say goodbye I say hello

Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that VERTIGO!
Oh you know, how you
Picture every moment below
Don't you know now
Give you that VERTIGO!

Strictly stick shift witchcraft
She's miss been there did that
And bought the cat suit
Im mored used to raising the roof
Than tellin the truth I thought I wasn't but i
Was losing my mind
Once she showed me how the night supposed to sound
I realize that then whenever i
Shut my eyes, well then she hovered looking like
A million dollars in a briefcase or a duffle bag by high noon tomorrow
Just make sure you're not followed
And since you're such a stunner
Send us something sunset coloured
Let's make love to one another
Run for cover!

Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that VERTIGO!
Oh you know, how you
Picture every moment below
Don't you know now
Give you that VERTIGO!

Oh you need me, I can't see from the sky
Running a life too cool to die
Oh you move me, crescendos cuff the link
She's on the verge, I'm on the brink

Whats the light, where's your mind, what's it for?
Whats inside, did you find what your dying for
Whats the night where's the light from the door
Whats the light, wheres the knife you keep hiding for
Where's the light from the nights of before
Wasn't mine just the kind you've been fighting for?

Some are ex, are you next, are you more?

Where's my mind, whats that knock on the door
Oh, you know, that's your M.O
Oh you know, that's how it goes
Oh you know, that VERTIGO!
Oh you know, how
Picture every moment below
Don't you know now
Give you that VERTIGO!
