Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group, with a style similar to New Edition, Jodeci, and Dru Hill, has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.
Identical twin brothers Brian Casey and Brandon Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo--known collectively as Jagged Edge--have built the group's career and reputation from one simple premise: make great music and make sure the music's for real.
2) A melodic rock band, Jagged Edge UK featuring guitarist Myke Gray. Released their debut EP, Trouble in early 1990, followed by the full-length Fuel For Your Soul .
3) Drum & Bass collaboration of Optical & Ryme Tyme from the United Kingdom

Jagged Edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking maybe I'm just poison
Cause the love I find it always dies away
Or maybe I'm some kind of alien
Till she look at me like I'm from another place
And I guess that would explain this
How I'm always outta place, that explains this
How I can tune it all away, go to another place
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm leaving Earth off in my…
Spaceship, spaceship, spaceship (I'm taking off)
She don't wanna see me,
And I don't wanna be here no more, no more,
I'm going far away
Tonight I'm leaving Earth off in my…
Spaceship, spaceship, spaceship (I'm taking off)
She's the only one who knows me
And I'm just so lonely, alone, alone
I'm going far away,
Tonight I'm leaving Earth off in my spaceship, yeah yeah
Tonight I'm leaving Earth off in my spaceship, yeah, yeah(I'm taking off baby)
All I hear is noise and drama,
I see lips just moving but
I'm blocking out the bruising
And the problems
Conversation we misuse it
'Cause my baby so used to it
That I get caught up, caught up in what I'm trying to say
We used to be like music
Now we tone deaf, and they booing (and I)
And I know that I never meant to push you away
That's why I'm flying out to space
[Chorus]
Off in my spaceship
Means I'm on my head trip
Pretty lost off in a stare
In a loon, mental chair
Gone be ugly for about 3 days
Alone lonely E way
And I got in one of them moods
She done put me in that mood
I'm about to skirt on the milky way
And after that
Its Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn
In fact I'm about to go, get-go, get-go
I'm going going gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm counting down the takeoff (10, 9, 8)
I'm counting down the takeoff (7, 6, 5, 4)
I'm counting down the takeoff (3, 2, 1)
[Chorus]
In "Space Ship," the singer is expressing his feelings of isolation and alienation as a result of failed relationships. He feels like he's poison because every relationship he's in seems to die away, and wonders if he's an alien because he feels so different from everyone else. He acknowledges that he's been "out of it" since his lover left, and realizes that it's his own fault. He's always "out of place," and his lover doesn't understand him. He escapes from this pain by retreating into his own mind and fantasies of traveling to another planet in his spaceship, which becomes a metaphor for leaving behind all the ugliness and drama in his life.
The singer is frustrated with the lack of communication and understanding in his relationships, as he feels like he's just hearing "noise and drama" and people are "misusing" conversation. He recognizes that he's pushed his lover away and just wants to escape from it all. The chorus repeats the idea of leaving Earth in his spaceship, as a way to symbolize the desire to be free from the pain and loneliness that he's experiencing.
