The Edge
FYKE feat. James Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the way out
Now you're sitting on that ledge again
Looking straight down
If you jump just depends on if there's a way out, yeah
Cuz it's over when there's closer
And it's getting closer any day now
I hear you calling out in my head
Pushing past the limits but I know I'm stalling
Looking for the will to live
Cuz I've been hanging to your words
But it still hurts
And I should be getting better but it feels worse
Every single step when I think of falling
You pull me back from the edge
I've been sleeping through my misery
Lost without sound
There's something missing now inside of me
It's weighing me down
Cuz we've been sinking since the start of it
Stuck in this cloud
What's the point if I'm alone in this?
Help me out now, yeah
I need something to make it right
Cuz I feel there's no one else
Who can save me from myself?
If we make it through the fire
Maybe we don't have to burn
Maybe we won't have to hurt anymore
The lyrics to "The Edge" by FYKE feat. James Lee are a poignant representation of feelings of hopelessness and desperation. The first verse describes the feeling of being at the end of one's rope, ready to give up by painting the picture of someone sitting on the edge of a ledge, unsure whether to jump or not. The reference to "it's over when there's closer" indicates that this person feels like the end is near and they may not have any other options left. The chorus talks about the singer's struggle with suicidal thoughts and how they hear the person they love calling out to them, trying to pull them back from the edge of the abyss. They are trying to find the will to live and escape their pain.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's pain, talking about feeling lost and weighed down by something missing inside them. They feel alone and stuck in a cloud of despair, asking for help to find a way out. The bridge recognizes that there is no easy fix to this situation, but they hope that by working through the difficulties, there may be a way towards healing and a life without pain. Overall, "The Edge" is a powerful song that addresses the struggles of mental health and the importance of reaching out for help and support in times of crisis.

You were always at the end of it
You were never fully invested in the relationship
On the way out
You were already leaving
Now you're sitting on that ledge again
You're in a vulnerable state again
Looking straight down
Facing your difficulty head on
If you jump just depends on if there's a way out, yeah
How you handle your current crisis determines your outcome
Cuz it's over when there's closer
The end is near
And it's getting closer any day now
You're running out of time
Every single step when I think of falling
Whenever I'm close to giving up
I hear you calling out in my head
Your voice guides me through the dark times
Pushing past the limits but I know I'm stalling
I'm trying to overcome my struggle but I'm not making progress
Looking for the will to live
Struggling with suicidal thoughts
Cuz I've been hanging to your words
I'm relying on you for emotional support
But it still hurts
I'm still in pain despite your support
And I should be getting better but it feels worse
I don't feel like I'm improving
You pull me back from the edge
You're my lifeline
I've been sleeping through my misery
I've been avoiding my problems
Lost without sound
Feeling alone and unsupported
There's something missing now inside of me
I feel incomplete
It's weighing me down
It's becoming too much to handle
Cuz we've been sinking since the start of it
Our relationship has been struggling from the beginning
Stuck in this cloud
Unable to escape our issues
What's the point if I'm alone in this?
Why bother if I'm going through this alone?
Help me out now, yeah
I need you now more than ever
I need something to make it right
I need a solution to fix our problems
Cuz I feel there's no one else
I don't think anyone else can help us
Who can save me from myself?
Who can help me overcome my own struggles?
If we make it through the fire
If we can overcome this challenge
Maybe we don't have to burn
Maybe we don't have to suffer anymore
Maybe we won't have to hurt anymore
Maybe we can find peace and happiness
