Edge of Time
Dom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You will meet me there
At the edge of time
The fire-sea licking my feet
Gas and damp, wind and rain,
Snow, heat, waters, ice and pain
Damned souls cry "Forgiveness!"
The past will be future and future will be past
Not one thing in our world that will ever last
Only you and me
Until eternity shall that spirit

One containing two
Wander through space and peace we knew

Overall Meaning

In Dom's song "Edge of Time," the opening lines "You will meet me there / At the edge of time" evoke a mystical and otherworldly atmosphere. The imagery of the "fire-sea licking my feet" suggests danger and risk, perhaps even a journey into the afterlife or a liminal space between worlds. The list of elemental forces that follows - "Gas and damp, wind and rain, / Snow, heat, waters, ice and pain" - further reinforces the idea of a perilous journey through a world that is indifferent to human life and experience.


The chorus of the song creates a sense of timelessness and infinity: "The past will be future and future will be past / Not one thing in our world that will ever last / Only you and me / Until eternity shall that spirit / One containing two / Wander through space and peace we knew." The idea that past and future are interchangeable and that nothing in the world is permanent underscores the idea that the journey through the edge of time is a transformative experience that transcends normal human understanding.


Overall, "Edge of Time" is a song that tackles big, existential themes like mortality, the afterlife, and the nature of time itself. The lyrics and imagery suggest a journey into the unknown that is both exhilarating and terrifying.

@nekeperneke

@WolfKreide

most of the specialists don't even know the album

@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms

@@WolfKreide It should be more well known,a Psychedelic Masterpiece that's almost barely even rock really.

@ntinosmarkos

Yes,"obscure" a hidden gem.!

@marcnavarra6918

This has got to be one of the greatest psychedelic albums to come out of the 60s/70s. Mind bending music.

@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms

It's a very cool album. Highly underrated and I think influential beyond what a lot of people understand.

@michaelpuleston3496

One of the best Krautrock albums, some beautiful ambient moments, since recently discovering this masterpiece of the Krautrock genre I have played it several times and it continues to grow on me. Enjoy!

@stevendphoto

I never heard of this back in the 70's, but was exposed to the CD in the 90's and have been enjoying it ever since (25+ years), it has such tender and creative passages and is mesmerizing to listen to alone, with only my thoughts...

@robertgomez7209

Completely agree. It's one of my top Kraut albums. Probably favorite 5 in my life right now. Silence is particularly beautiful.

@powerplantplanetuniverse5945

This never looses it's fascination!
It's as you all are saying...it's mystic!
The vibes are ruling here...and it's good vibrations! Same oscillating sound like Pink Floyd & Popol Vuh!
You can feel the tunes in your body!
And it's like butterflies!
Sunshine,wind,barley corn fields and birds flying...a coyote howls from a rock...while we drink strong campfire coffee and smoke our holy smoke pipe!
From far you hear the city highway hissing by...and then your pipe starts working...and you sink back on your pillow and...SMILE HAPPILY!🫂🤗🤫
