(Intro)
(Heavy, distorted bass riff starts solo—gritty and low. After four bars, the drums kick in with a punchy, driving beat. Feedback swells into a wall of distorted power chords.)
(Verse 1)
(Music drops to just bass and drums to let the male vocals feel intimate and shaky)
Lean my head and I start to spin,
Don’t know if this will ever end.
Laying my head down for the night,
Eyes losing focus moving side to side.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Guitars start chugging on a single muted note, building tension)
[Male] No— can’t predict when it will hit me
[Female Backup] (Predict when it hits)
[Male] Yeah— when it comes it’s like an attack
[Male] No— don’t want it to control me
[Female Backup] (Never let it control me)
[Male] Yeah— meditate and start to relax
(Chorus)
(Explosive sound—heavy distortion, crash symbols, high energy)
[Male] Ground starts shaking, the walls start to lean!
[Female] (They’re leaning!)
[Male] Caught in a cycle, somewhere in between!
[Male] I’m reaching for the air, but I’m losing my flow,
[All] Drowning in the VERTIGO!
[Male] Yeah, everything is moving, but I’m standing still,
[Male] Fighting the fever, fighting the will.
[Male] High on the low, nowhere to go,
[All] Lost in the VERTIGO!
(Verse 2)
(Back to the driving bass-heavy rhythm)
Walking down the hall like I’m on a ship,
Concrete moving, I’m losing my grip.
Close my eyes just to find the floor,
But the room keeps knocking at the door.
(Bridge)
(Tempo slows down; half-time drums. Dark, atmospheric guitar melody over a fuzzed-out bass)
[Female - Ethereal vocals] Focus on a point...
[Male - Gritty] Focus on the light...
[All] Wait for the world to set itself right.
[All - Screaming/Intense] WAIT FOR THE HORIZON TO FINALLY LOCK!
(Guitar Solo)
(Chaos-style solo with lots of wah-pedal and pitch shifts to simulate the "spinning" feeling)
(Final Chorus)
(Maximum volume—pure Hard Rock energy)
[Male] Ground starts shaking, the walls start to lean!
[Female] (They’re leaning!)
[Male] Caught in a cycle, somewhere in between!
[Male] I’m reaching for the air, but I’m losing my flow,
[All] Drowning in the VERTIGO!
[Male] Yeah, everything is moving, but I’m standing still,
[Male] Fighting the fever, fighting the will.
[Male] High on the low, nowhere to go,
[All] Lost in the VERTIGO!
(Outro)
(Guitars cut out suddenly, leaving only the heavy, distorted bass rhythm)
[Male] Slowly... it’s slowing down.
[Female] Back on solid ground.
[Male] Just let it go...
(Final feedback ring-out)
