VERTIGO
PVT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw her in the rain
She was standin’ undercover
She said, “Tell me your name, ‘cause I’m gonna find out one way or the other.”
We had so many rules, so many reasons to never have each other
But now I’m standing so high
I look over the city and it doesn’t really matter

It feels like vertigo whenever we’re together
It feels like vertigo whenever we’re together
From dust we come and dust we remain forever
From dust we come and dust we remain forever





It feels like vertigo whenever we’re together
It feels like vertigo whenever we’re together

Overall Meaning

The song "Vertigo" by PVT tells the story of two people who know that they are not supposed to be together, but their chemistry is too strong to ignore. The singer describes meeting a woman in the rain, who asks for his name and warns that she will find out one way or another. Despite having many reasons to keep apart, they cannot resist each other's company. The chorus repeats the idea that being together feels like vertigo, a sensation of dizziness, and compares it to the inevitability of death.


The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and passion, rooted in a fear of the unknown. The woman's determination to discover the man's identity, coupled with their mutual desire, creates an intense connection that is both exciting and unsettling. The use of the word "dust" is a reminder that everything eventually returns to the earth, and the singer seems to be embracing the fleeting nature of their relationship.
