The Whirlwind of Memories and Change in Ismael Serrano's 'Vértigo'

Ismael Serrano's song 'Vértigo' is a poignant reflection on the passage of time, the evolution of relationships, and the bittersweet nature of memories. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, as well as an acceptance of the inevitable changes that life brings. The song's title, 'Vértigo,' which translates to 'Vertigo' in English, suggests a feeling of disorientation or a dizzying sensation, which can be interpreted as the artist's emotional response to the rapid changes and the sense of loss that accompanies them.

The song begins with the image of receiving postcards from abroad, which symbolizes distant communication and the maintenance of connections across time and space. The artist expresses a hope that when he finally sees himself in the mirror of the past, he will still recognize himself, indicating a fear of losing his identity amidst life's transformations. The mention of another man sharing the life of a loved one and naming their children highlights the theme of moving on and the acceptance of new realities.

Throughout the song, Serrano reminisces about shared experiences, such as skipping classes for a bar, and the youthful idealism of wanting to change the world. The recurring chorus with the plea for the world to stop spinning reflects a desire to hold onto the precious moments that are slipping away. The song ends on a note of camaraderie and celebration, urging to make the most of the present despite the nostalgia and the uncertainty of the future. 'Vértigo' is a rich tapestry of emotions, weaving together the joy of cherished memories with the pain of change and the hope for continuity amidst life's inevitable shifts.
