The Edge
Icicle (ft. Metropolis) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be, fight for your home, caught in the maelstrom
Street, and this is the edge, you fall, in fact
Might just tear off your flesh upon impact
Breathe, enter the zone, eye of the cyclone
Be, fight for your home, caught in the maelstrom
Street, and this is the edge, you fall, in fact
Might just tear off your flesh upon impact
The lyrics of Icicle (ft. Metropolis)'s song The Edge seem to be describing a state of mind and environment where the individual is caught in a maelstrom, or a violent whirlpool of emotions and events. The first two lines encourage the listener to breathe and focus their attention on the task at hand, implying a sense of urgency or danger. The following lines describe the edge, which could be interpreted as a literal or metaphorical boundary that represents a point of no return, beyond which lies an unknown, possibly deadly, territory. The final line suggests that the consequences of falling off the edge could be severe, even life-threatening.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a high-stakes, high-pressure situation where survival depends on maintaining a focused mental state and a willingness to fight for one's life, home, or values. The repeated line "Breathe, enter the zone, eye of the cyclone" reinforces the idea that entering the eye of the storm requires a certain level of mental preparation and detachment from the chaos around it.

Seriously can't wait for Icicle's new album!
Still now I don't get tired of listening to Under The Ice.
Also, really hope Phace's remix of Dreadnaught will be on it!

Icicle turned the moat at Outlook Festival into the marianas' trench of Bass. Like a giant bass cannon, pumping depth into your soul.
I wanna say a big thank you to Icicle and everybody involved in making this happen
Love, Bruno
