Vertigo (2022) by Dirk Diamond published on 2022-07-17T20:51:25Z This was written right off the back of suffering a severe bout of vertigo last week - quite a nasty experience. I guess otherwise it's a song about having had enough of something, or other. Lyrics The rug has been pulled And I’m suddenly down Can’t make out where I am or locate any sounds I hear voices of reason Start closing in I can’t stand any longer Seems I’m feeling too sick I know the world only goes round one way But this kaleidoscope turns me a new kind of day Something has triggered a thing in my head And if it keeps turning I might wish myself dead This vertigo’s got me down I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be A little Hitchcock in my ear I feel messed up just like it's killing me This vertigo’s pulling me down And I can barely even find my feet I’m drilling into the ground Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees Something pulled the plug At the base of my neck And my brain went like water Swirled right out of my head This whirlpool wont settle I’m locked in it’s flow Feels like an event horizon Much like I’m soon gonna go This vertigo’s got me down I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be A little Hitchcock in my ear I feel messed up just like it's killing me This vertigo’s pulling me down And I can barely even find my feet I’m drilling into the ground Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees Someday I’ll walk Will hold my gaze Get myself through This twisting maze This crazy dream Will come to end Soon I’ll be still Control the bends This vertigo’s got me down I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be A little Hitchcock in my ear I feel messed up just like it's killing me This vertigo’s pulling me down And I can barely even find my feet I’m drilling into the ground Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees Genre Indie Comment by JunkHeap Love the lyrics.
