Of Mice & Men - Vertigo Lyrics






Motion, breaking the space
The steps I retrace
The ground feels like an ocean
Writhing in pain, I try to explain
The words just come out
Broken like the limbs we used to crawl
With hopeful eyes, into the sun

My equilibrium becomes delirium

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
Learning how to hold on, by letting go, letting go
Vertigo
Vertigo

My spinning satellite head
Disoriented
It gravitates and spirals
To find you instead, a means to an end
A force that conquers
Broken moons and hollow worlds
Suspended, motionless
Collapse and coalesce

My equilibrium sent to oblivion

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
Learning how to hold on, by letting go, letting go
Vertigo

How can you say that everything is meaningless
When we are the product of such a random disaster?

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
I'm learning how to hold on to you by letting go, letting go
Vertigo
Vertigo
Vertigo
Vertigo

Of Mice & Men Vertigo Comments
  1. v.... g....

    This shit is 🔥 Idgaf who disagrees

  2. d.... 2....

    I still can't understand why this band is not that famous like other pop shit...they're doing a fantastic job...greetings from italy❤

  3. S.... ....

    This band is like a Phoenix. When Austin left they went down in flames, then burst out of the ashes in a beautiful, stunning light show.

  4. W.... ....

    I haven't listened to Of Mice & Men since Shayley's departure. Now listening to this was like listening to a whole new band, but I honestly like this sound.

  5. �.... ....

    さいこう

  6. T.... ....

    Went soft to cater to main stream...but sold their soul to these records

    T.... ....

    Travis new album is gonna kick ass though

  7. J.... M....

    Just heard this song for the first time. I am truely amazed and blown away at how amazing this tune is. This song should have been the first single. Truely beautiful. This band is amazing.

  8. M.... M....

    I know Imma get hate for saying this, but I don't really like their new stuff. It's not that Austin is gone, to be honest, I didn't notice the difference until now. I'm not saying their music is bad, it's good, but I just can't get into it.

  9. l.... 9....

    I have always liked old Of Mice & Men and... they still sound badass. 🤘

  10. M.... A....

    Very Nice

  11. a.... ....

    I was there for the band back in the MySpace days. I remember changing my profile picture to the original OM&M cover and taking to Carlile in messages on there.
    I’ve seen it all, when no one knew them, to their first release and them starting to find themselves, to the breakout success (and absolutely incredible sophomore effort of The Flood), and then what I viewed as missteps and stagnation after that.
    This is the first album since The Food that I have loved, and while I do miss Carlile’s screams (it’s the reason I ever followed them in the first place) I love what Aaron is doing and I’m excited for what’s to come.
    Somehow through all the lineup changes and all of the drama that surrounds it this band prevails and continues to make great music (with this being my favorite song of the album).

  12. n.... ....

    Fucking 3:57. Like damn aaron, that's quite a set of pipes you got! eargasm

  13. P.... S....

    I miss Austin but I am so proud of these guys for kicking out an amazing album in spite of their loss. AMAZING song. Lyrics, sound, everything. Just amazing.

    P.... S....

    The band sure Misses him to :( But they had to move on w/o him! and someone had to step up front, his man Aaron would be honored so!

  14. B.... S....

    This song is reminiscent of Dorje's style

  15. A.... B....

    Amo sábanda* <3

  16. n.... ....

    CAN'T STOP LISTENING SUCH AMAZING MUSIC

  17. r.... ....

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ niiiiiice ♡♡♡♡♡♡

  18. d.... l....

    A perfect circle anybody?? Easy influence heard here

  19. R.... H....

    Hands down my most played song of the year

  20. N.... H....

    Hot Topic Brought me here😂😂

    N.... H....

    Did it really? 😂

    N.... H....

    It really did 😂😂

  21. v.... s....

    Can we just remember the om&m we fell in love is dead

  22. S.... T....

    Sounds like 30 secs to mars

  23. C.... H....

    Damn how I love this Rob Chapman/Dorje style riff so much!

  24. C.... ....

    This song is fucking amazing! My ears have been blessed!

  25. O.... ....

    y’all too hurt about Austin
    give my mans Aaron a chance..

  26. A.... A....

    Hotel Trivago Trivago

  27. E.... ....

    This song has the best fuckin chorus I've heard

  28. S.... ....

    Why does the beginning sound like a kiss from a rose..?

  29. T.... ....

    Hello from a starcraft remastered viewer, lol.

  30. J.... D....

    That fucking intro though!!!!!

  31. I.... L....

    Literally my first time listening to OM&M, and I'm already hooked.

  32. F.... M....

    My favorite cs 1.6 map vertigo hahahaha

  33. A.... C....

    WOW !!!

  34. l.... ....

    absolutely fuck yes

  35. R.... ....

    Seriously, its so fucking good. I dont think theres a single bad of mice and men song. Like i know bands that have those songs that get boring after awhile, of mice is the only band ive ever listened to that has zero skippable songs.

  36. J.... S....

    New to these guys I really like this shit. I found them from rock feed. They got a 10 years sound much better than that orange wtf ever band that screams like a norma jean knock off

  37. D.... R....

    I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but I’m glad Austin left. I wish him the best but I didn’t really like his vocals. In my opinion, Aaron’s are much better and they fit the sound of the band .

    D.... R....

    Dustin Roe I hope you don’t get hate for this

    D.... R....

    Dustin Roe I'm gonna have to agree. I just started listening to them with this album. O.G. loko was like the only song i used to listen to before this

    D.... R....

    Official Co-D B. I honestly didn’t like anything of theirs until Aaron became the new vocalist.

    D.... R....

    No, I agree, I think Austin was starting to head them to a direction that wouldn't have been as great imo

    D.... R....

    Thank you for your bravery. I feel the same. I feel that Austin was limiting the band's musical creativity. Now they have solos instead of breakdowns. Plus, their live performance at hellfest is so good, especially how Aaron manages to encourage the crowd as a frontman while still rocking the bass.

  38. L.... C....

    Am I the only one who thinks that this song sounds a bit like A Perfect Circle? It's one of my favorite DEFY songs btw

  39. A.... N....

    Vertigo

  40. W.... F....

    can't wait to see you in Poland 😍

  41. C.... G....

    This sounds like dad rock, hate it

    C.... G....

    Chris Gonzalez I agree about the the “dad rock” comment since I am his dad and I think it rocks! Sorry it wasn’t your cup of tea!

  42. C.... D....

    Now days it's just a bunch of scene kids pisses that people grow up and don't scream as much as they hurt inside smh lmao

  43. T.... ....

    I respect all opinions. I hear you all.

    But how the fuck is this generic. a metal band making metal songs for a metal album is obviously gonna be apart of the generic metal sound we all know. Open your fucking minds and jam this shit; you all waited for them to become heavier since Restoring Force and now that Aaron is adding his touch you all hate. Just shut up and listen dude it's all music. This is Metal there's no such thing as Generic anymore it's 2018 grow up. Your comments are the definition of "generic".

    also grammar is out the window in this but Idgaf it's bullshit this band even after Austin's departure is still in their prime stop judging you'll do the same you do to every other "generic" album. Hate it at first call generic and then love it in a couple weeks after you give it a proper listen but then say "go back to your old sound it sounded more original" when they release their next LP. gosh I swear this scene never changes

  44. B.... L....

    I miss the old OM&M but this shit good!!

  45. T.... W....

    The vocal lead into the hook and the hook itself are both so wonderful. One of my favorites on the record, I’m glad y’all are still kicking strong.

  46. R.... Q....

    Restoring Force is my all time favorite album from Of Mice and men and I think Defy is my second all time favorite album

  47. C.... B....

    Northlane?

  48. C.... L....

    FCKKINg great

  49. R.... C....

    This album is good, but it does not stack up to what is expected... background music at best.

  50. u.... ....

    current new favourite song

  51. A.... T....

    Uno dos tres catorzeeee

    A.... T....

    Anderson The 😂😂😂

  56. K.... C....

    this song made my day, probably the favourite from the album
    I especially love the intro riff

  57. k.... e....

    So far, the only band that lost a vocalist and still burns. 💪🏻💪🏻

    k.... e....

    keil espinosa listen to How to Survive and Mushroom Cloud

  58. L.... W....

    this song is SOOOOOOOOOO good

  59. B.... F....

    Que monótono, senti vontade de dormir ouvindo essa música... depois de um álbum tão maravilhoso como Cold World e dos outros 3 álbuns essa banda lança isso.. a voz é a maior identidade de uma banda, depois de perderem o Shayley perderam o Austin, muito difícil continuar ouvindo com o mesmo entusiasmo....vou continuar ouvindo os sons antigos.

  60. R.... V....

    Chevelle vibe

    R.... V....

    Ray Villaflor I got a atreyu vibe. But now you say it, I do hear chevelle.

    R.... V....

    I remember Chevelle used to have these bone chilling stadium rock-type choruses back in 2002-2007

  61. E.... R....

    amazing

  62. D.... D....

    I'm digging OM&M with just Aaron's vocals and writing.

  63. i.... d....

    FUCKING AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. M.... ....

    What...is this?...

    M.... ....

    Munozl360 Good shit. That's what it is.

    M.... ....

    lol no, it's okay at best.

  65. D.... ....

    I love this sooooong

  66. B.... M....

    they just randomly released an album? awesome.

    B.... M....

    Brint Mann It wasn't just random lmao.
    They've been talking about this for a good while now.

  67. J.... V....

    virtual historically ceo laugh soup somehow crime tube divine because repeatedly overall.

  68. M.... K....

    I fucking love it!

  69. j.... ....

    This song alone blows everything on Cold World out of the water. Vast improvement.

  70. D.... L....

    I actually have vertigo hahah 😂 perfect description and and great song

  71. m.... 6....

    The cymbals could be louder tbh

  72. S.... H....

    THIS IS OF MICE AND FUCKING MEN!!!! that opening riff. Jesus. all were missing is shayley everyone needs to get over themselves and let Austin heal. the man is sick. he stepped down and passed the torch to Aaron who is fucking running with it. if you hate this album you have never been a fan of this band then. they killed it.

  73. B.... I....

    jesus christ, everytime a band changes the bitches hit the light. Either enjoy what the band has now become or step the fuck aside. They sound great, great album, great sound. Love this band and what they do, yes i feel it's different with Austin, but they're still OM&M, so i will for sure still pay the money.

    B.... I....

    Are you dumb ? So you force people to enjoy or turn away and not criticize them ? If I don’t like something I can tell to who ever the fuck I want !

  74. O.... ....

    See, songs like this where they aren't trying to emulate old OM&M sounds fantastic. So like 2-4 songs of the album are good. When they try to go towards Carlile era sound it just sounds cringey. Keep it up.

  75. L.... t....

    sounds Motionles in white

    L.... t....

    Not at all.

  76. M.... M....

    Amazing song

  77. S.... K....

    Love it!

  78. T.... B....

    In love

  79. B.... M....

    This album is okay... my least favorite. Cold World was much better.

    B.... M....

    I found Cold World too soft and a step back from what people loved OM&M for but we will see how well this album does in comparison :)

    B.... M....

    Brad McNew cold world was fucking awesome...my favorite by them

    B.... M....

    keep in mind that this is OM&M's first album without Austin

    B.... M....

    This album isn’t that great. But much better than Cold War, that’s my least favorite.

    B.... M....

    Cold World is the best album

  80. A.... G....

    Whoa, this is really good. I miss Austin, and it would be amazing with him, but this is still the best thing ever

  81. J.... B....

    The comment section on all these songs are absolutely cancerous lmao

    J.... B....

    Included in the observation of the redundancy of the cancerous bickering you all have and continue to try to incite*** possibly. Very possible.

    J.... B....

    Jonathan Blind you right lmao, "i miSs aUStiNN!!1!111!"

    J.... B....

    Jay Wingfield lolol pretty much

    J.... B....

    I feel like the "cancerous comments" are a little dignified. When a band loses its vocalists over the course of a few years and they're replaced by one guy, it may not be agreeable to its fans. I love Of Mice & Men, I would never hate on them or join the cancerous comments, but I don't enjoy the new sound of the band, nor do I like the nasally voice of the newer vocalist who's now the only vocalist.

    This album doesn't sound bad, it's just not for me. And I totally understand if fans are a little disappointed that the Of Mice & Men sound has changed so _drastically._

    I was fine with losing Shayley Bourget, although he's an amazing vocalist he can try to find another place to share his art. But when Austin left, it's really missing what I enjoy hearing when I listen to Of Mice & Men. Everything has changed, not just the vocals.

    Like I've said before, it's alright for a band to change their sound over time, to experiment with new sounds, but this is such a drastic change that it's not remotely the same sound to me.

    J.... B....

    @Derrick Jee i mean itsh eashier to shing if your shick tho
    :p idk what thish comment wazh

  82. D.... P....

    Kiss from a rose vibe =/

  83. S.... 1....

    So many fans sad that Austin left are blinded by his departure and don't truly admire the skill level that arron is performing at. Writing lyrics, playing bass, and performing ALL vocals simultaneously. Arguably the most talented member this band has ever seen and they don't even care.

    S.... 1....

    You should listen to his old stuff from when he was the frontman of Jamie's Elsewhwere

    S.... 1....

    amen my man.

    S.... 1....

    @Gregory Gonzalez change is a part of life nothing stays the same forever, how about grow with the band?

    S.... 1....

    SYTHEOPATH 1 see the two new singles

    S.... 1....

    He writes lyrics while playing and singing live?

  84. J.... R....

    Of Mice & Men! I freaking love you guys you are freaking awesome! LOVE THE NEW ALBUM!!!!

  85. D.... ....

    shit dad rock

    D.... ....

    Darmos I love dad rock, especially when my son is singing it!

    D.... ....

    Dad rock? lol if you think so.

  86. P.... ....

    Don't know why I'm thinking about 'Kiss From a Rose' by Seal when listening to this, but I'm loving it!

    P.... ....

    PoetryEmotion94 Lmao! Same dude.

    P.... ....

    Especially when the chorus kicks in lol just A-B Kiss From a Rose's chorus and this one :D

    P.... ....

    Can't unhear that now, lol.

    P.... ....

    Both songs are in the key of G and have similar melodies.

  87. J.... ....

    Aaron is the perfect guy fort his band!!!1

  88. J.... A....

    Guess I should start listen the band, fookin' good stuff!

  89. t.... ....

    This album is GREAT!!! :D

  90. R.... A....

    Amo esta canción!!!

  91. d.... ....

    awesome ! :D

  92. P.... H....

    Algum Br?

    P.... H....

    heuehe tamo aki irmão kkk

  93. J.... R....

    WOW this is one of the better songs on this album I think, good job guys

  94. W.... ....

    Some people have problems. I think this song is amazing

    W.... ....

    WonderfulGermany everyone has their own opinion and tastes. If you have a problem with that then you're the one with the problem 😛

  95. O.... K....

    Overall, this album has the same OM&M- style but not as sad or dark as the other albums. It's like when a door closes, a window opens. And out from this window it shines bright and hopeful. Absolutely gorgeous efford!!

    O.... K....

    Offizieller Kanal von Doggen - Tee ™ Nice reference. Definitely spot on my man.

    O.... K....

    they haven't been exciting like this since their debut lol

  96. M.... C....

    Can't wait to see them live in February!

    A.... W....
