The Edge
A⇔REAL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love striketh us all…
Conquering my human essence…
(weakness) of my sweet state of grace
(frailty) as devoured by fear
(undying) the desire of soul, pumping from my twisted tortured..
(heart)

Building the towers of ivory beauty,
watching the quintessence of new-found life,
scanning the darkness in search of her whispering,
cosmic catharsis or endless damnation

..and the moon she kisses me, man entangled in poetry..
(set me free)
..and the wind of sublimation’s calling thee..
Chorus:
At the edge of reality, where the stars paint perfect simmetry,
there i watch arise the final synthesis..
And despite of the lies, in my world where sun will always shine..
I’ll spill the seed of truth divine…

Bridge:
This must not be (dream)
Concrete visions dance in (me)
As the dusk falls on me I must stand all my fears (alone)
Introspecting my ego I fear no more (the dark abyss)..

Slaughter of my darkest weakness..
(ashes) of a psycho disease
(reborn) my once sleeping ego
(pain) shalt refuse the past
..shalt lay to rest my freezing (storm)

Dancing with angels in the astral moonlight,
drinking the sunset and riding the fire,
self-calculated my deep introspection
cosmic catharsis is washing the tears.





Repeat chorus.

The bridge of the song is where the singer confronts their darkest weaknesses, reborn and refusing the past. Through this introspection, they fear no more the unknown darkness.

I appreciate the sensitivity and compassion you displayed here, some people would be snarking or make fun of these extrordinary people. I was inspired by all of them, and hope they are all finding happy and fulfilling lives.

I feel so bad for the people suffering through these things, but it makes me happy to see them grow and learn not to care about things that are hard

I was born with congenital hydrocephalus , and my head is bigger than average. A few people teased me about it in high school, but I got the last laugh when I told a bully that I was as smarter than him because I had room for a bigger brain. :)
