Edgewater is lead singer Matt Moseman, guitarists Micah Creel and Justin "Shorty" Middleton, drummer Jeremy "Worm" Rees, and former Nixons bassist Ricky "Honky Mofo" Wolking.
Edgewater gained notoriety in 2004 after being signed to Wind-up Records and having a lead single on the Punisher Movie Soundtrack and movie credits. The bands single "Eyes wired Shut" was also featured as the theme music for WWE Backlash 2004.
2005, after being told by Wind-up executives that 'rock is dead' and told to change their sound, the band bravely departed the label to work independently. So far in 2006, Edgewater has released their new album "We're Not Robots..." locally to a healthy fan base and started a distribution partnership with Rock Ridge Records/Warner for releasing the album nationally in August.
Edgewater officially disbanded in 2007. Matt Moseman later became the lead singer of June Halo. Micah Creel is often seen on the road with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) and STP. Jeremy 'worm' Rees is spending much deserved time with his wife and beautiful daughter.
In late December 2016, Moseman died in his sleep of an apparent heart failure. He was married and had 3 sons. On March 16, 2017, a memorial live show was held in Texas to celebrate his life. At the service, the surviving band members performed Edgewater songs with guest vocalists.
Asteroid
Edgewater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can run, we can be lost in space
Counting down from ten
With a spark we can start our life again
Who says we can't fly, fly away
Who says we can't run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Writing off our friends
All alone we are lost again
Writing off our pain, cause we run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Please don't you ever crash, or or fly or stay in space
Please don't you ever crash, or or try and save the day
Away and away and you watch me
Touch down, I won't stay
Away and away and you want me...to stay
Counting down the days
We can run, we can be lost in space
Falling off the end
With a spark we can start our life again
Who says we can't fly, fly away
Who says we can't run, run away...
With the asteroids!
Please don't you ever crash, or or fly or stay in space
Please don't you ever crash, or or try and save the day
Away and away and you watch me
Touch down, I won't stay
Away and away and you want me...but I cannot stay!!
Release my wings, please cut these strings
So I can fly, and fly, and fly...away
She says she wants me to stay
She says she wants me to stay
She says she wants me to stay
She says she wants me...
The song "Asteroid" by Edgewater talks about the desire to escape from reality and start a new life, possibly in space. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling lost and attempting to write off all of their pain by cutting off ties with friends and loved ones. The idea of counting down from ten and starting life anew with a spark implies that this is a deliberate and planned decision to start over. The asteroid could be seen as a metaphor for the new life that they desire, or perhaps as a literal means of escape.
However, the singer acknowledges that running away may not be the solution, especially if it means risking crashing and losing everything. The line "Please don't you ever crash, or or try and save the day" suggests that the singer understands the consequences of their actions and the impact they may have on others. Despite this, they still feel the need to escape, as demonstrated in the repeated line "Who says we can't fly, fly away".
The final section of the song suggests some inner conflict within the singer, who is torn between the desire to escape and the desire to stay with someone who wants them to stay. They speak of wanting to be released from their constraints and fly away, yet someone in their life is asking them to stay. The repetition of "She says she wants me to stay" emphasizes the singer's struggle with the decision they have to make.
