The Edge
Monroe & She Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dusty haze, a thick fog
Room to room, we always leave
Waiting to feel, the big fall
Spinning room, spinning hall
Nothing means anything after all
Take me to the edge, I wanna fall
Broken sound, on the outside
Just trying to find a place to hide
Just can't seem to find a way to fit
Go, and run away
Leave this alone
Leave me in this place today
Leave me alone
Spinning room, spinning hall
Nothing means anything after all
Take me to the edge, I wanna fall
No one to catch me after all
The lyrics of "The Edge" by Monroe & She's convey a sense of disorientation and detachment as the singer navigates through a world filled with uncertainty and internal conflict. The opening lines, "Wandering, rolling through it all, Dusty haze, a thick fog," set the tone for a journey through a metaphorical fog of confusion and doubt. The repetition of the phrase "Room to room, we always leave, Waiting to feel, the big fall" suggests a pattern of restlessness and a yearning for something more, possibly alluding to a desire for change or new experiences.
The imagery of a "Spinning room, spinning hall" evokes a sense of dizziness and disorientation, reflecting the internal turmoil and chaos that the singer is experiencing. The line "Nothing means anything after all" portrays a feeling of disillusionment and emptiness, as if the meaning and purpose in life have been lost or are elusive. The plea to be taken to the edge and to fall, followed by the realization that there is no one to catch them, conveys a sense of loneliness and vulnerability.
The mention of a "Broken sound, on the outside, Just trying to find a place to hide" suggests a desire to escape from the external pressures and expectations, perhaps seeking solace and refuge from the overwhelming noise of the world. The struggle to find a sense of belonging and acceptance is encapsulated in the lines "Just can't seem to find a way to fit," reflecting a profound sense of alienation and search for identity.
The final verses of the song express a yearning to escape and be left alone, as conveyed through the repeated refrain "Go, and run away, Leave this alone, Leave me in this place today, Leave me alone." The repetition of the lines "Spinning room, spinning hall, Nothing means anything after all" reinforces the sense of emptiness and futility, culminating in the desire to be taken to the edge and left to fall without anyone to catch them, suggesting a desire for release from the burdens and uncertainties of life.
