In late 2010 Digital Daggers had the single of the week, "No Easy Way," which gained over 150,000 downloads to promote the release of the debut digital EP Human Emotion. The title track of the EP was used by Ferrero Raffaello for a TV commercial in 2011. Their debut full-length album Close Your Eyes was released on 11 June 2013 by Los Angeles-based indie label El Camino Media. The song "The Devil Within" is currently being featured in trailers for the NBC series The Blacklist, Nikita, and Pretty Little Liars. In February 2014, they released "Aquarius" from the album 'Reimaginations: Volume One', which was used in the first episode of the CW show "Starcrossed".
Digital Daggers released their 2nd and final full-length album Mixed Emotions in 2014. The band had broken up before its release and have since had songs from the album featured in the TV Series How To Get Away With Murder. The song "Back To The Start" is featured on the upcoming Official Soundtrack album for How To Get Away With Murder released on Hollywood Records March 2016. Orange is the New Black featured "Save Us From Ourselves" in Season 7, Episode 4: "How to Do Life." The song begins as Maria recites from a pamphlet "Take what you want and leave the rest."
On 9 November 2017, Digital Daggers announced their return to the stage by presenting their newest song, "Devil's Choir". Space has been heavily active in the film and TV sync world as an artist, producer and performer, especially with his band Digital Daggers.
The Razor's Edge
Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'm broken
It's not what I wanted
The verdict won't change
I've gone off the razor's edge
Thought it would be different
Was treading the water
'Til it took me under
Quick retreating
So stuck in these feelings
I'm taking the beating
It won't let me go, go, go
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me back
Distorting the future
It's holding me close
It loves me the most
It's tearing the sutures
It won't let me heal
It tells us what's real
There is no truth there
My vision's gone black
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me
Seems I forgot
Which way I was going
Echoed mistakes (mistakes)
Repeating again
Quick retreating
So stuck in these feelings
I'm taking the beating
It won't let me go, go, go
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me back
Distorting the future
It's holding me close
It loves me the most
It's tearing the sutures
It won't let me heal
It tells us what's real
There is no truth there
My vision's gone black
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me back
Distorting the future
It's holding me close
It loves me the most
It's tearing the sutures
It won't let me heal
It tells us what's real
There is no truth there
My vision's gone black
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me back
I'm scared 'cause the past
Keeps pulling me
The lyrics to Digital Daggers' song Razors Edge describe a person who is lost and broken, struggling to move on from their past mistakes. They had hoped for a different outcome, but the verdict is final and they have fallen off the "razor's edge". The person had been treading water, until suddenly they were taken under, and now they are trapped in their own emotions. They feel like they are being beaten down and can't escape their past, which keeps pulling them back and distorting their future.
The lyrics suggest that the person is scared of their past because it keeps holding them close and tearing the sutures, preventing them from healing. The past is so powerful that it tells them what's real, even though there is no truth there, and their vision has gone black. The person recognizes they are repeating their mistakes and can't find their way forward.
Overall, the lyrics of Razors Edge evoke feelings of helplessness, fear, and despair. The person is trapped in an emotional cycle they can't break, and are struggling to find a way to move forward.

@Niceguyhidden
Yeah, me too. I've never cut before but I can relate to this song so much.
I'm scared cause the past keeps holding me back.
It won't let me heal. It tells [me] what's real.
I miss my friends. And now I can never see them again. Depression made me leave. And I think of going back there constantly, finding comfort in my imagination, and talking to them in my mind saying the words I never said. It's comforting but it won't let me heal. It tells me what's real (my desire for real friends again and not be lonely).
But I'm scared cause the past, keeps pulling me back. Distorting the future

Honestly, Digital Daggers has those awesome metaphors in the lyrics that are incredable. It makes you really think about what the song means.
@piki2pikachu
Everyone should get to listen to some digital daggers sometime in their life!
It's just an experience I've never seen matched by another band.
