Vertigo, not the clinical dizziness, but instead the concept espoused by Kundera; namely vertigo as a continuous compounding of misery and loathing. Ever know anyone who got hurt, and instead of working to heal themselves, they continue to expose themselves to the same or even worse elements attempting to harm themselves even further. Drug addicts, women in abusive relationships, etc. These people suffer and start to find their only sense of self within the suffering, so they bring on more and more, hoping for the pity and attention of those around them, but completely resistant to self-help. Suicide attempts are one such example. But vertigo effects us in small ways, too. Any poker players here? Ever lose a big hand on the river? You know that feeling you have after you lost where you want to keep betting on the next hand. The poker term is tilt, its when a player is playing his cards out of spite for losing. The result is often more losing.

Vertigo is one of those Red state disabilities, along with migrane headaches, "a bad back" ,Gout, and some other "ailments" that can neither be proven or dismissed.
Thse are used by Red State (and some blue state) trailer trash to suck off the government tit.
My friends and I call a certian "type" of woman a "Migrainer"
You know the type ? Women who clain to have Migraines ?
Bad dye jobs, blue eye shadow, high school dropouts who have a NASCAR number on their truck, and have a boyfriend named "Floyd", who is also unemployed
And needless to say...both are registered Republicans

Vertigo: U2


Uno, dos, tres, catorce
[ one, two, three,
fourteen - in Spanish ]

Turn it up loud, captain!

Lights go down
It's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
I'm feeling so much stronger
Than I thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can't be bought
your mind can wander

Hello, Hello
Hola! [ Spanish for Hello ]
I'm at a place called
vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
[ Where is it? ]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me
something I can feel
Feel

The night is full of holes
Those bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys
play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
[ Find more Lyrics at U2 Lyrics - VERTIGO ]
At least they know

I can stand the beats
I'm askin' for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round the neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
oh
oh
oh

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called
Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
[ Where is it? ]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel
Feel

All this, all this can be yours
All of this, all of
this can be yours
All this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called
Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me
something I can feel
You're teaching me ...how
Your love is teaching me ...how
How to kneel
Kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
