Native Son sounds sort of..."bleh". That's why it's now Vertigo. Cause it's better.

Perhaps, but that is less meaningful to someone who doesn't believe in God, like me.

Then that's certainly not their problem.

It doesn't have to do anything with God.

I see the song as a balancing act between being a good person and being bad(superficial, priorities screwed up..ect). I've lived the party life (still do at times), going out and get wasted, wound up making mistakes only to realize the next morning that's not what I'm about. To me it's a song about the contradictions we all face...the "Vertigo" you feel when your trying to balance those 2 worlds. Maybe some of the people who don't "get" vertigo have never really experienced that balancing act.
