Vértigo
Modico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invested in fantasy
That I can do it all by myself
I have delved into trickery
And it's so convincing
That I can believe it myself
I'm stuck in a lifeboat
And I don't know which way is up
We're stuck on a rampage
Fighting through our rage
When we could have just given up
I've cut down the fallacy
That I only need me
It's you that this life is about
The truth has set me free
It needs no convincing
You brought me away from my doubt
And I'm stuck in a lifeboat
And lost in this vertigo
And I don't know which way is up
We're stuck on a rampage
Fighting through our rage
When we could have just given up
The lyrics of Modico's song Vertigo expresses the feeling of being lost, confused, and overwhelmed in life. The first verse talks about climbing a thorn tree- a difficult path that may lead to pain and discomfort but still being invested in the fantasy that one can do it all by themselves. The singer has delved into trickery and is so convincing that they believe they can make it on their own. However, the truth is that they are lost in life and don't know which way is up. They are in a lifeboat, stuck in the middle of the sea with no direction.
The second verse tells us that the singer has cut down the fallacy that they only need themselves in life. They realize that it's not about their individual success but about the people around them. The truth has set them free from their doubts and it's the people around them that have brought them out of their bewildered state. The song induces a feeling of gratitude towards the people who helped us through tough times and shows that we can't face everything alone.
In conclusion, Modico's song Vertigo is a beautiful expression of the feeling of being lost in life and how the people around us can help us find our way again. It tells us that it's okay to feel lost and that seeking help and support is a brave and necessary step in moving forward.
