Vertigo
Natan Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I have the beast at bay
Backseat pass I am VIP
A perfect effigy
You should take a book out my leaf
Don't slow me down now, don't make a sound
Mirages still exist
That's how I know it's real
And I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I hurt so easily
Doctors ask if I'm BPD
A perfect enemy
You should give me back all my leaves
Don't slow me down now, don't make a sound
Mirages still exist
That's how I know it's not real
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
So try and like Vertigo-o-o
Try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo
I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
So try and like Vertigo




I've found you're never gonna stop the merry-go-round
