Edge Of Time
Highland Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screaming in my brain
Empty thoughts of yesterday
Fills my heath with pain
Sitting in my car tonight
With my hands over my head
Thinking of that life that I never had
Come to me, give me some piece of your magic
Show me the way to your life
Memories of past time still rings inside my head
Please show me, show me the way
Can you take me to the edge of time
Free me from this holy lie
Making all of the bad things right
On the edge
Can you take me to the edge of time
Future past, our life rewind
To be free and live your life in peace
On the edge of time
I close the door behind me
And try to not look back
Shadows making fun of me
I tell ya, how sick is that?
My mind still plays tricks on me
The voices in my head
Repeating me, screaming to me
Laughing in my head
The lyrics of "Edge of Time" by Highland Glory portray the singer's cry for help as they cope with their past trauma. The first verse starts with the singer still hearing "the sound of madness" - the internal screams and chaotic thoughts that come with past trauma. The past memories fill their head with pain and they feel stuck, which is shown in the lines "thinking of that life that I never had" and "empty thoughts of yesterday fills my head with pain." The second verse reflects the singer's desperation for a way out, and their hope that someone can give them a "piece of magic" and show them the way to a better life. They plead for someone to "take them to the edge of time," where they can be freed from the "holy lies" that are keeping them in pain. The chorus repeats the request to be taken to the edge of time, where all of the bad things can be made right, and they can be "free and live your life in peace."
This song highlights the feelings of someone who has faced traumatic experiences and how intensely it affects their mental state. The lyrics show a person who is struggling to come to terms with their past and move forward. Although they are desperate for someone to help them, the singer knows that the battle is within themselves, as shown through the lines "I close the door behind me and try to not look back / Shadows making fun of me / I tell ya, how sick is that?" Overall, "Edge of Time" portrays the struggle with past trauma, the hope for a way out, and the underlying knowledge that the battle is ultimately within.

I still hear the sounds of madness
I am reminded of my past that has driven me into madness
Screaming in my brain
I can't escape the memories and thoughts that haunt me
Empty thoughts of yesterday
My past failures and mistakes have left me feeling empty
Fills my heath with pain
My emotions and physical wellbeing seem to suffer because of my past
Sitting in my car tonight
I feel isolated and alone, seeking refuge in my car
With my hands over my head
I am overwhelmed with emotions and seeking comfort
Thinking of that life that I never had
I am consumed with regret for what could have been
Come to me, give me some piece of your magic
I am desperate for help and hoping for a miracle
Show me the way to your life
I am seeking guidance and direction for how to move on
Memories of past time still rings inside my head

Please show me, show me the way
I'm begging for someone to show me the path forward
Can you take me to the edge of time
I want to escape my current reality and start anew
Free me from this holy lie
I want to break free from the false reality that has held me captive
Making all of the bad things right
I am hoping for a resolution to the problems and pain of my past
On the edge
I am teetering on a breaking point and need a change
Future past, our life rewind
I want to go back to the past and rewrite history
To be free and live your life in peace
I am seeking freedom from my past and a peaceful future
I close the door behind me
I am leaving my past behind and moving forward
And try to not look back
I am determined not to let my past define me
Shadows making fun of me
My past mistakes continue to haunt and ridicule me
I tell ya, how sick is that?
I am disgusted by how my past continues to affect me
My mind still plays tricks on me
I am haunted by my past and can't escape it mentally
The voices in my head
The negative thoughts and memories continue to haunt me
Repeating me, screaming to me
My past continues to scream at me and consume my thoughts
Laughing in my head
My past failures continue to mock me and take control of my thoughts
