Dizzy
Off Center Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't know where it's been"
Then I opened my mouth
And I did it again
But I was too young
To stand up for myself
So I stood there like an invalid
I couldn't find it
Waiting for lightning to strike
If I time it just right
Trying to open my eyes
But they're both so tight
And I'm spinning round with my hands held out
Hoping for a sign
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
She was just like the snow
Beautiful but cold
I was holding on
While she was letting go
But I was naive
And ignorant
And I didn't know when to quit
So I let my self down
But I'm stronger for it
Waiting for lightning to strike
If I time it just right
Trying to open my eyes
But they're both so tight
And I'm spinning round with my hands held out
Hoping for a sign
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Waiting for lightning to strike
If I time it just right
Trying to open my eyes
But their both so tight
And I'm spinning round with my hands held out
Hoping for a sign
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
The lyrics of "Dizzy" by Off Center seem to reflect a sense of confusion and turmoil in a relationship. The singer recalls a warning given to them not to indulge in something potentially harmful, symbolized by eating the falling snow, as its origin or purity is unknown. Despite the cautionary advice, the singer disregards it and repeats the action, perhaps hinting at a pattern of making mistakes or taking risks without fully understanding the consequences.
The singer then reflects on a time in their past where they felt vulnerable and unable to assert themselves ("too young to stand up for myself"). They describe feeling helpless, like an "invalid," seeking assistance or guidance that seems elusive. This experience serves as a metaphor for a challenging situation where they feel lost and in need of direction or support but struggle to find it.
The lyrics also portray a relationship with someone described as both beautiful and cold, contrasting their own sense of attachment and effort to hold on with the other person's apparent detachment and willingness to let go. This dynamic causes the singer to question their own naivety and ignorance, realizing that sometimes it is necessary to recognize when to walk away or let go in order to grow and become stronger from the experience.
The repeated motif of waiting for lightning to strike, trying to open their eyes, and feeling disoriented or dizzy suggests a cycle of uncertainty and seeking clarity or a revelation. The singer seems to be in a perpetual state of searching for a sign or guidance amidst the chaos and confusion, hoping for a moment of clarity or understanding to emerge. The repetition of "Dizzy Dizzy One More Time" at the end reinforces the theme of cyclical patterns and the struggle to break free from them, alluding to a desire for resolution or a fresh start despite the recurring challenges they face.

If I time it just right
If I act with perfect timing or precision
Trying to open my eyes
Attempting to gain insight or awareness
But they're both so tight
Struggling with inner conflict or resistance
And I'm spinning round with my hands held out
Feeling disoriented or lost, seeking help or guidance
Hoping for a sign
Seeking a clear indication or guidance
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Feeling overwhelmed or confused, repeating the cycle
Dizzy Dizzy One More Time
Experiencing the same disorientation or uncertainty again
