"Vertigo" came from a place I didn't want to go but had to explore - that terrifying moment when you feel the dizziness building and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Unlike my other songs that came from heartbreak or anger, this one captures the immediate, visceral experience of your world literally spinning out of control.

I wrote this while feeling that familiar sensation creeping in - that dread when you know you're about to lose your balance completely. The lyrics document exactly what happens during those episodes - "Room starts spinning, walls closing in / Sweat pours down like acid rain / Eyes dart left, then right, then left again." That's not poetry - that's real-time documentation set to music.

The breakthrough was choosing 7/8 timing instead of standard 4/4. That odd time signature creates this constant sense of being off-balance, like you're always about to fall but never quite landing. Even metalheads trying to headbang feel slightly unstable, which perfectly mirrors the vertigo experience. You can't get comfortable with the rhythm, just like you can't get comfortable when the spinning starts.

Musically, this needed to be heavy and chaotic but also precise - these episodes aren't random, they follow their own brutal logic. The bridge breaks down completely: "FALLING! FALLING! Through the floor! CRAWLING! CRAWLING! Can't take more!" - that's the peak moment when everything fragments.

The guitar solo uses whammy bar effects to create those sickening pitch bends that sound like the world tilting. When AI helped me bring this to life, I specifically wanted those disorienting guitar techniques that make you feel seasick just listening.

"Vertigo" ends with everything dropping to silence except echoing vocals - "The spinning slows... The chaos fades... But echoes remain..." Because even when an attack ends, you know it could come back. That final "VERTIGO!" echo represents how these experiences stay with you.

This might be my most visceral song yet - taking something that tries to destroy you and turning it into something powerful instead. Sometimes the best way to fight not just vertigo, but anything, is to document it, own it, and make it into art.


Vertigo

Fashion maze — Ignite and blaze
Step and twirl — Own the phase

Couture halls, twisting golden lanes
Silk and leather, mirrored floors
Each daring step — fracture of light

Pose — Turn — Glance — Slay!
Pose — Turn — Glance — Slay!
Every turn, lavish threads
Spotlight-strikes, flawless death

Threads of places, most refined
Fleeting pulse, to reveal
The spotlight burns — motion decays

Twirl! Snap! Strut! Pose!
Glide! Sway! Turn! Flaunt!
Step! Spin! Lift! Dazzle!
Arch! Tilt! Reach! Slay!

"How old are you?"
Stride-stride! Glide-glide! Stride-stride!
Pulse of fashion, spotlight-strikes!

Pose — Turn — Glance — Slay!
Pose — Turn — Glance — Slay!
Every turn, lavish threads
Spotlight-strikes, flawless death

Fashion… Maze… Spotlight… Death…

Labyrinth (Death Metal reload)

The fury of battle, the pain of loss, and a scream from the depths of your soul...

Sharks Live In Water, There's Water In My Toilet. I Rest My Case

she must have looked so
beautiful spattered facedown
on the tokyo street

or better yet,
trembling,
in her hands
a .45 millimeter invitation to hell

and as you walked in
with clear intentions
little did you know
that you'd be the only one
and as you were amazed
with your hand over her virgin breast

so did you, baby.
