first of all, if i'm not mistaken, everyone has some sort of fluid near their ears or somewhere inbetween them which helps our brain figure out which way the ground is so it projects the images properly from our eyes if we tilt our head to either side, but when you get vertigo, its usually because some sort of infection occurs in this fluid and the brain starts to project the image improperly so it could give the effect of the room you're in spinning around, etc...
also, bono doesn't say i am experiencing vertigo.. he says i'm at a place called vertigo, that doesn't imply the same thing
Not to be a picky f*ck, but you don't have to have an infection to experience Vertigo, the average person leaning over a ledge of a tall building will easily experience Vertigo.
As for Bono saying, "I'm at a place called Vertigo" I think we can safely say that he is referring metaphorically to the FEELING of Vertigo.
All I'm saying is that the video doesn't do a great job of expressing this. I mean why is the band on fire, or leaving streaks? what is that? Everything all around them is moving up and down, but it seems like the band are not affected...maybe this is speaking to a deeper meaning......but I choose to keep it simpler.
The song is called Vertigo, they talk about temptation vs. faith and the feeling that the battle between the two give can be compared to a feeling of Vertigo.
I like the part where Bono sings about "Give me what I want and no one gets hurt" because the dark engulfing hole they fall into really does mirror what it my have felt like for Jesus being tempted by Satan/Bono by Rockstardom. But the rest of the video is poor.
Hey, you have your opinion, I got mine. I guess we agree...to disagree....
...which is all that two intelligent and very astute individuals can do.
