VERTIGO
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look into my eyes and sink deeper
Look into my eyes
Drown into my will like a sleeper
Drown into my eyes
Now you feel as light as a feather
Leave it all behind
Strip your mind of all that encaged you
Forget about the time

And from the first sight to the last
The world is tumbling into vertigo

I can lead you, ways to explore you
Ways you'd never find
I can make you mine if I want to
You'd make up my mind
Feel these healing hands
Eyes of fire, magic pendulum
Makes you dizzy at first sight
Now my time has come

Oh, something touched you deep inside




Oh, take hold of a distant light
Oh, hypnotized, feels like vertigo

Overall Meaning

The song Vertigo by Rage is an invitation into the depths of the singer's mind. The opening lines of the song, "Look into my eyes and sink deeper," set the tone for a hypnotic journey. The singer commands the listener to "drown into my will like a sleeper," urging them to abandon their inhibitions and let go of all that encages them. The song continues to build, promising to lead the listener "ways you'd never find," and offering to make them "mine if I want to."


The chorus of "From the first sight to the last, the world is tumbling into vertigo" reinforces the dizzying effect of the song's hypnotic spell. The lines "Feel these healing hands, Eyes of fire, magic pendulum" conjure up images of a shamanic or mystical ritual, and the repeated refrain of "Oh, hypnotized, feels like vertigo" drives home the sense of disorientation.


In all, Vertigo is a seductive and intriguing song that invites the listener on a journey of self-discovery and sensual exploration.
