Elegance
Edge of Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break the prophet on the wheel
Time's a currency
Make a choice and trade or steal
Eleven-digit
Conjure up a major flood
Love is liquid
What has been can leave me not
Chorus:
I'm not asking you to give
I want you to take
A moment of truth
Fountain of youth
Princess of elegance
I'm not asking you to give
I want you to take
Your grace and your voice
Weapons of choice
Mistress of innocence
Like to touch fluffy things?
Distort the message
Tie a poet to the wheel
If you lose your asset
Make a choice and trick or steal
Seven-digit
Conjure up a major fire
Love to lava
Raze the virtues and the lies
Chorus
On the floor - from behind
On the balcony - full frontal
In the grass - into your face
Like summer rain
On my floor - from behind
On the balcony - full frontal
On the street - back on our feet
Drunk with passion

The song also comments on the nature of love, suggesting that it is a fluid and ever-changing entity that cannot be easily confined or defined.
The chorus provides a message of empowerment, with the singer imploring the listener to take control of their own life and utilize their own unique strengths and talents. The use of powerful imagery throughout the song, such as "Fountain of Youth," "Weapons of choice," and "Mistress of innocence" creates a strong visual representation of the song's message. The repeated line "I'm not asking you to give, I want you to take" further reinforces the idea of seizing control of one's own destiny and not simply accepting what is given.
Overall, the lyrics of "Elegance" are a call to action, urging the listener to actively engage with their own life and make choices that will lead to personal growth and fulfillment.
