Walk The Edge
Shadows Fall (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill the sun bury the dawn
A race begins that no one ever seems to win
The line remains unbroken
Smashing the doors wide open
All of my fears are blown away
My eyes are blinded
By the ice and snow
(I walk the edge)
Just to feel alive
Lost in the endless night
I walk the edge till the end of time
I walk the edge
(I walk the edge)
Just to feel alive
Still trapped between the lines
I walk the edge till the end of time
I walk the edge
I walk the edge
The lyrics to Shadows Fall's "Walk The Edge" are about the pursuit of feeling alive, even if it means taking risks and venturing into dangerous territory. The opening line sets the scene for the night and the desire to overpower the rising sun. The following lines, "A race begins that no one ever seems to win, the line remains unbroken, smashing the doors wide open," reflect a feeling of perseverance and the determination to push past obstacles. The chorus, "I walk the edge, just to feel alive, lost in the endless night," reinforces the idea that living on the edge is what makes life worth living, even if it means that one may get lost along the way.
The final lines, "Still trapped between the lines, I walk the edge till the end of time," suggest a sense of being stuck and unable to find a way out. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for being stuck in life and feeling trapped by one's own fears and limitations. The repetition of "I walk the edge" throughout the song serves as a reminder that taking risks and living boldly is something that one must actively choose to do.
