The lyrics of Edge of Dawn's song "All Coordinates Are Wrong" are referencing the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). BPD is a mental health condition that affects a person's mood, self-image, and relationships. The lyrics mention "unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation" which is a common symptom of BPD. The line "Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment" also refers to the fear of being abandoned which is a significant aspect of BPD.
The lyrics also touch on the "identity disturbance" experienced by those with BPD, stating "markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self." This refers to the fact that those with BPD can struggle to have a consistent and stable sense of who they are. The line "Chronic feelings of emptiness" refers to the intense sense of inner emptiness that many with BPD experience. The song also mentions "Recurrent suicidal behavior" which is another significant risk factor associated with the condition.
Overall, the lyrics of "All Coordinates Are Wrong" are a powerful depiction of the experience of BPD, highlighting the intense emotional pain and instability that often comes with the disorder.
