Over The Edge
Agnostic Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because our bond has cracked in time
It's taken months for my cool to explode
Now what's been damaged remains in my mind
I should have listened to those you called fools
For the fool was I to be led blind
The odds have failed you again
My faith was all to blame
I thought you were a friend I'd trust till end
These days you learn to trust no one
You must include those closest friends
For what has many of their promises done
But left you betrayed in the end?
I should have listened to those you called fools
For the fool was I to be led blind
The lyrics of Agnostic Front's song "Over The Edge" speak about a deep-seated feeling of hatred and betrayal that emerges from a friendship gone sour. The singer's soul burns with pure hatred because the bond that he shared with a friend has somehow cracked in time. Although he had trusted this person blindly, he now realizes that he should have listened to those who had warned him about this individual. It's taken months for his anger to reach boiling point, but now it has exploded, and the damage remains in his mind.
The lyrics convey a sense of hurt and regret, and suggest a feeling of self-blame for having allowed himself to be led astray. The chorus speaks of the singer's disappointment, as he realizes that his faith in this person was misplaced. He had trusted this friend until the bitter end, but now he knows better. As he reflects on the experience, he concludes that in the end, it's hard to trust anyone, even those closest to us.

Pure hatred burns deep in my soul
I am filled with intense dislike and anger
Because our bond has cracked in time
Our relationship has deteriorated over time
It's taken months for my cool to explode
It took me a long time to lose my composure
Now what's been damaged remains in my mind
The harm that occurred still affects me mentally
I should have listened to those you called fools
I should have taken advice from the people you labeled as foolish
For the fool was I to be led blind
I was the foolish one for being blindly led by you
You've played your final game
You have exhausted all your options
The odds have failed you again
Your chances of succeeding have dwindled once more
My faith was all to blame
I trusted you too much, and that is what caused my downfall
I thought you were a friend I'd trust till end
I believed you were a loyal friend, who I could trust unconditionally
These days you learn to trust no one
Nowadays, one must be cautious about who they trust
You must include those closest friends
Your closest friends must also be considered when assessing trustworthiness
For what has many of their promises done
Because many promises made by friends have been broken
But left you betrayed in the end?
Leaving you feeling deceived and let down in the end
