This song is really just pure pent up emotion. Sometimes when I listen to it I feel like crying, and the description brings me back to 2019 funny enough, when the song was published. That year started off rough but I got out of my own rut eventually.

This song still hits so good. <3 One of my faves.

the first song to touch me in a long while <3

in love with this song, my new 2019 summer vibes

Lyrics are so depressingly accurate, but I appreciate their  truthfulness and the angst of the song

I can not stop listening to this track. So perfect

When I first wrote this song, I was living in my friend’s grandparents’ basement, and only owned what would fit in my car. I had no job, almost no money, and the only remaining possessions I really had were studio equipment. Nonetheless, I found time to record when nobody else was home, and kept producing and writing music whenever I could. 

Vertigo embodies the mentality I tried to maintain throughout that difficult period of my life. I had to buckle down and give everything I had. I got a job, started making money, and—with a ton of support from my friends—I managed to get out of the rut and stabilize myself enough to finish the record and start to really take care of myself. Now that FOOL // savior is about to release nearly 4 years after I wrote Vertigo, it feels more relevant than ever. No matter what life throws at me, I will not give up on what I believe in, and this album is the living testament to that fact. 

We're told a lot of things by society about how best to live our lives, and many of these messages are toxic or demeaning. Consumerism and corporate interests constantly put us down or try to manipulate us into believing certain things about ourselves, regardless of the harm or dishonesty of their claims. 

If one is going to truly be motivated, one has to really accept the existence of this harsh negative atmosphere, and learn to breathe in spite of the toxins. We can't persevere if we can't even acknowledge what we're fighting against. I wanted the lyrics to embody the spirit of the toxic aspects of our modern culture, because I think it's more meaningful to keep fighting with a keen understanding of where we are a society. 

You are and will always be enough, no matter what the adverts tell you. 

I'm undeserving of a purpose, but I will battle 'til I'm burning up.

FOOL // savior
