VERTIGO
U2(유투) Lyrics

Unos, dos, tres, catorce
Counting off 1, 2, 3, 14 to grab the listener's attention with an unusual count-in to the song.

Lights go down, it's dark
The lights go out, and everything becomes pitch black, which signifies a significant moment and heightens your senses.

The jungle is your head, can't rule your heart
The complexity of your thoughts and emotions is likened to a dense and thorny jungle, which makes it difficult to regulate your feelings.

A feeling's so much stronger than a thought
Emotions can be more powerful than rational thinking, and can sometimes dictate behavior more effectively.

Your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought
Even though wealth or material possessions cannot acquire one’s soul, the excitement in the eyes shows the desire for something that can excite and inspire.

Your mind can wander
The mind can drift away from reality and escape to another place or time, allowing thoughts to flow freely and creatively.

I'm at a place called Vertigo
I’m experiencing a feeling of disorientation and dizziness caused by the overwhelming rush of sensations induced by this place.

It's everything I wish I didn't know
I long for ignorance of the situation as opposed to being overwhelmed by new information, whether positive or negative.

Except you give me something I can feel, feel!
However, you provide a tangible sensation that allows me to experience the moment emotionally, physically, or mentally.

The night is full of holes 'cause bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
The sound of gunfire, which can puncture and destroy the sky, is heard through the night, adding a layer of danger to the atmosphere.

They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
The stars (making holes in the sky) are in sync with the boys' music as it sparks with excitement.

They know that they can't dance, at least they know I can't stand the beat
The singer is criticizing the band's dancing abilities while admitting to not appreciating their music.

Girl with crimson nails has Jesus around her neck
A woman wearing red nail polish has a necklace bearing a cross pendant, symbolizing her religious beliefs.

Swinging to the music, swinging to the music (whoa, whoa) (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
She sways to music with the enthusiasm of a partygoer, feeling her emotions taking over her mind and body.

All of this, all of this can be yours, Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt
The singer expresses a threatening tone, hinting that he could do harm if he doesn't get what he demands.

We're at a place called Vertigo, Lights go down, and all I know Is that you give me something
The chorus repeats, but now we experience the feeling of disorientation together, and the light fading signifies a lack of control over the situation as only one thing now matters - the intangibles being given to us.

I can feel your love teaching me how, Your love is teaching me how, How to kneel Kneel
The sensation of love, even that of a higher power, can be overwhelming, leading to the surrender of control symbolized by kneeling.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
An enthusiastic repetition of sounds representing the constant conveyance of the all-encompassing emotions and sensations.
