Cliffs Edge (k
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swing a little further, higher
Underneath the big top trees
Scrape my knees, whatever, uh huh
I'm gonna let them bleed
Got no turning back, I'mma flirt with that
Get a little closer, get a little closer
Cliff's edge, you turn me on
You lead me on
You got me on
A Cliff's edge, where I belong
You got me on
And turn me on
I want to feel that sea breeze, I want to feel that sea breeze
Love until we burn up, fire
Do whatever gets you seen
Kiss me with adventure
Until I forget my name
Chills run down my back, I'mma flirt with that
Get a little closer, get a little closer
Cliff's edge, you turn me on
You lead me on
You got me on
A Cliff's edge, where I belong
You got me on
You turn me on
I want to feel that sea breeze, I want to fee that sea breeze
Closer and closer to you
This could take all night
Caving and crumbling on your hips,
Your lips, they're mine
Closer and closer to you
This could take all night
Caving and crumbling on your hips,
Your lips, they're mine
Cliff's edge, you turn me on
You lead me on
You got me on
A cliff's edge, where I belong
You got me on




And turn me on
I want to feel that sea breeze, I want to feel that sea breeze

Overall Meaning

In "Cliff's Edge," Hayley Kiyoko describes the emotional highs and lows of a romantic experience. The song starts with her swinging on a swing set under some trees, careless of scraping her knees, indicative of her willingness to take risks. She is flirting with someone and is captivated by their energy, leading her to follow them even though she knows it could lead to danger. The titular cliff is a metaphor for the edge of her comfort zone; Hayley wants to push past it and live in a moment of passion and excitement. It's important to note that she wants to do this with someone she trusts to lead her to it.


Throughout the song, Hayley's lyrics describe the physical sensations of being close to this person, with chills running down her back and forgetting her name from the thrill of adventure. She's willing to give in to this feeling even if it means getting lost in the moment. The latter half of the song is much more passionate and urgent. Hayley's desires become more specific and raw; she's craving physical intimacy, using words like "crumbling on your hips" and "your lips, they're mine." This desire for consummation is also shown when she says, "Love until we burn up, fire/do whatever gets you seen." It implies a desperation for them to act fast, and to possibly do something dangerous or impulsive that would showcase their love. In essence, the song captures the mix of excitement and terror that comes with pursuing a relationship or a moment that feels like it might be catastrophic.

I always thought I was bi. I think I kinda forced myself to be with guys because within my family I felt that it was right. I had no one in my life to help me out. I kept it secret for 6 years. Even when I came out I thought I was bi but then I realized every relationship I've had with a guy was uncomfortable and I didn't see them anymore than friends. Listening to your music and watching your videos really helped me realize it too that I'm gay, and admitting it was such a relief. I'm so happy now 😊

@summaxoxo8136

Red.Velvet at least you came out,I hope you are happy! I’m still in the closet as a lesbian with a girlfriend but I’m also going through depression so I’m scared and I’m just sad!

@RecoveryGirl116

@@summaxoxo8136 I hope everything works out for you!! ❤❤❤

@bonepaste_3336
