Penner spent her first four years in LA in a sort of songwriting bootcamp. Learning the ins and outs of the industry and yes, sleeping in a closet in a house with seven men. As is the case with many new-to-LA artists, Penner got swallowed up in the industry and spent the last two years redefining what it means to be authentic. What it means to protect your identity and own your flaws with kindness, compassion and acceptance.
After making and shelving four albums in the process of finding her true self, she is now stepping out as a classic singer-songwriter with a focus on story telling. More specifically, telling her story. Her debut album, People You Follow, is a brave, fearless and self-explorative dive into vulnerability and the inevitable shifts that occur when we stare down the barrel of our flaws and own them.
Dizzy
W. Darling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look away, lost in the view 'cause I don't even know you
And now you're walking, you're walking over, and I can hardly breathe
My heart is racing, as if I'm pacing, but I can hardly speak
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause my head got so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
And I can't even see you straight when you look at me like this, me like this, oh
I can't explain, you walked out of a scene from my memory, oh
Now every face is only filling space, and pulling you to me, oh
And now your hands are coming closer, and I can hardly breathe
And now your lips are moving slower, to say my name to me
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause my head got so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
And I can't even see you straight when you look at me like this, me like this, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
And no, nothing moves before your touch, the ones that's still without your love
A simple look, is such a rush, it's such a rush
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause my head got so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause my head got so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
And I can't even see you straight when you look at me like this, me like this, oh
And are you feeling alright, 'cause I just got so dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, oh
