Edge of the World
Autumn's Grey Solace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Galloping through and through the night
Kings of majestic light
Pounding like thunder over the earth
Nostrils flaring against the wind
Icy wind

All Clydesdales
Watch out for the edge of the world

Charging and roaring into a storm
Growing silver clouds

All Clydesdales
Watch out for the edge of the world

Bolts of lightning come crashing into
the ground
Into the ground
Seems so scary
Eyes so very frightening





All Clydesdales
Watch out for the edge of the world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Edge of the World" by Autumn's Grey Solace paint a vivid picture of the power and beauty of nature, embodied in the imagery of Clydesdales galloping through the night, pounding the earth like thunder, and enduring the biting chill of an icy wind. The first two lines of the song invoke a sense of regal magnificence, as if the horses are kingly creatures of majestic light, effortlessly charging forward with a grace that's effortless to behold.


But as the chorus warns, there's a dangerous precipice approaching, a literal edge of the world that the Clydesdales must watch out for. The storm clouds gathering on the horizon might be beautiful to behold, but they can also unleash bolts of lightning that come crashing down with frightening force, as the final lines of the song suggest. Throughout these lyrics, there's a sense of both awe and anxiety about the raw power of nature, a reminder that even the most beautiful things can be deadly if taken for granted.


Overall, "Edge of the World" is a powerful tribute to the majesty of nature, using vivid symbolic language to capture its grandeur and the inherent risks it poses. The song invites the listener to marvel at this beauty, but also to respect its power and tread carefully when approaching its limits.
