Vertigo

(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)
