Edenbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the riverheads to sea
To the fields of four-leaf clover
Like a haggard falcon free
[chorus]
By a dovelike dream
Riding on wings of ever
Where no one has gone before
On the glaring stream
Into the haven of time
To the land of peace
Where silence has lease
on the high-flown cliffs ascending
In the priming of the day
Feel the ocean's salient power
From the vantage point survey
[chorus]
By a dovelike dream
Riding on wings of ever
From the top supreme
Where no one has gone before
On the glaring stream
Into the haven of time
To the land of peace
Where silence has lease
dream, so dream, dream this dovelike dream
And be, where none has gone before
Free, so free, free like a haggard falcon
Release, where silence has lease
Forever, now or never
Right on the edge of forever I am
(forever), and ever
Forever into the haven of time
(forever), forever
Riding into the land of peace
Where silence has lease
The lyrics of Edenbridge's "Deadend Fire" describe an adventurous journey from the valleys to the coastlines, through fields of clovers, up to the high-flown cliffs, and overlooking the powerful ocean. The song suggests taking an alternative path and exploring beyond the unknown, where no one has gone before. The chorus speaks of dreaming a dovelike dream, riding on wings of ever, and experiencing the land of peace where silence has lease. The song encourages listeners to release themselves and to be free like a haggard falcon, right on the edge of forever, and to ride into the haven of time that leads to the land of peace.
Line by Line Meaning
From the valleys to the coastlines
Traveling from low valleys to the shores of the sea
From the riverheads to sea
From the beginning of rivers to the vast oceans
To the fields of four-leaf clover
Reaching the fields where luck prevails
Like a haggard falcon free
Flying freely like a falcon in the wild
By a dovelike dream
Moving towards an idyllic dream
Riding on wings of ever
Traveling high and steady
From the top supreme
From the highest point of greatness
Where no one has gone before
Venturing into uncharted territory
On the glaring stream
Cruising on a bright and beaming current
Into the haven of time
Entering a place where time stands still
To the land of peace
Arriving in a place of tranquility
Where silence has lease
Where calmness reigns supreme
On the high-flown cliffs ascending
Climbing to great heights on towering cliffs
In the priming of the day
During the sunrise at the beginning of the day
Feel the ocean's salient power
Sensing the immense power of the ocean
From the vantage point survey
Observing from a advantageous position
Dream, so dream, dream this dovelike dream
Encouragement to dream and visualize a perfect life
And be, where none has gone before
Be unique and go beyond anyone's expectations
Free, so free, free like a haggard falcon
To be free-spirited and unbound by limitations
Release, where silence has lease
Let go of all worries and enjoy peace and quiet
Forever, now or never
Emphasizes the need for urgency to achieve goals
Right on the edge of forever I am
Standing at the precipice of greatness
(forever), and ever
Boldly stating that greatness is a permanent state
Forever into the haven of time
Permanently entering a peaceful haven
(forever), forever
Repeatedly emphasizing the idea of forever
Riding into the land of peace
Continuing the journey towards a peaceful destination
Where silence has lease
Arriving at a place of complete peace and quiet
