The Edge
RN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the dream's edge
Can't tell what's real or fake
Like lucid dreaming
But I'm in it all-day
Like outer space
But it tortures my brain
Just like a nightmare
But with real pain
I'm on the dream's edge
Get me out of here
I can't stay here
Need my meds again
Need the see the fam again
I need them close
I'm stuck in my head
Thinking I might be dead
I'd give anything in the world to live like I did back then
Like I did back then
Let me go back when
Go back when
Turn back time, I experienced
I experienced seeing you there with me
I'm on the dream's edge
Can't tell what's real or fake
Like lucid dreaming
But I'm in it all-day
Like outer space
But it tortures my brain
Just like a nightmare
But with real pain
It's 3 in the morning
I'm writing songs
I'm feeling the demons inside my home
Not going to hell, so I fight them off
I mean business, I ain't playing games no more
Ain't no games no more
Why you playing on your phone
Look at your girl, yeah
Go ahead and give her the world
If there is a world real or fake
I'm stuck on the dream's edge
Dream's edge, dream's edge
I just wanna see you at the dream's edge
Together, together forever
Even if it's all in my head
I'm on the dream's edge
Can't tell what's real or fake
Like lucid dreaming
But I'm in it all-day
Like outer space
But it tortures my brain
Just like a nightmare
But with real pain
I'm on the dream's edge
Like lucid dreaming




Like outer space
Just like a nightmare

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RN's song "The Edge" depict a state of confusion and disorientation, where the singer finds themselves on the "dream's edge," unable to differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary. The reference to lucid dreaming suggests that the singer is consciously aware of being in a dreamlike state but is unable to break free from it. The experience is likened to being in outer space, where the isolation and detachment from reality torment their mind. The line "but with real pain" hints at the emotional anguish and suffering that the singer feels within this state.


The lyrics also reflect a desire for escape and a longing for a past time when things were different and more enjoyable. The mention of needing medication and wanting to see family suggests that the singer may be grappling with mental health issues, possibly feeling disconnected from their loved ones and longing for a sense of connection and stability. The song delves into a sense of entrapment within one's own thoughts and the desperate plea to be released from this distressing state.


Overall, "The Edge" explores the blurred lines between reality and imagination, the internal battles of the mind, and the yearning for a sense of normalcy and relief from mental torment.
