The Edge
Electro-Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That has not yet begun
Flung weightless at the apogee of anticipation
I know a passing fancy from a thunderbolt
I know a dissertation from an anecdote
I can spot the real McCoy singing from the first note
I know when your heart leaps from the precipice
Your head doesnât get a vote
In Electro-Light's song "The Edge," the lyrics describe the feeling of being on the verge of falling in love.

The lines that follow use metaphors to describe the anticipation and excitement of the moment. The line "flung weightless at the apogee of anticipation" compares the feeling to being weightless in space, as if anything is possible. The lyrics go on to reveal the singer's discernment, suggesting that they can tell the difference between a fleeting crush and a true connection. The final line, "your head doesn't get a vote," speaks to the idea that love is sometimes beyond reason and logic.

we did it 1 million plays on this song thank you! As a reward here are the lyrics you have all been asking for!
you're paranoid
you claim this love that you never started
you once destroyed
a broken heart that was already shattered
holding on to what we have you take us to the edge and back
holding on to what we have you take us to the edge and back
you're paranoid
you claim this love that you never started
you once destroyed
a broken heart that was already shattered
holding on to what we have you take us to the edge and back
holding on to what we have you take us to the edge and back
