Where do I turn
When turning turns
To Vertigo
How can I burn
When burning burns
To Dust
Look downward, angel
Look upward, son
Gaze on the offered bread
===========================
I need help on that first verse. I don’t like the word vertigo but haven’t been able to think of a better one. The core paraphrased idea would be the excess of turning that is vertigo, that it’s hard to know where to turn when everything is turning so much as to give you vertigo. There’s more there, but that bit can’t be compromised.
So I thought for example of saying “a stray” which can take you in a couple directions, but doesn’t hold that core idea. I thought about using a cooking term, say, for what they do when they toss a pizza. What is that?
Any suggestions?
