Treat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another face in a another time
A taste of danger when two worlds collide
A lonely war in the name of pride
You can't deny, you said goodbye
And walked away
Just like the game you always play
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
Dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
You run for cover when the going gets tough
I know you tried but you were not tough enough
I've got the hunger, you tear me apart
Once eye to eye but never heart to heart
I can't deny I said goodbye
And walked away
I roll the dice of precious time
So don't lie to me
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
Dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge, the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
Dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
I can't get, I can't get over you
I'm dancing on the edge
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
The lyrics of Treat's song "Dancing On The Edge” showcases a troubled relationship between two people who have a deep connection but are not able to overcome their differences. The first verse highlights the singer's sense of alienation and disillusionment upon encountering a stranger where a person once was. The second verse uses the imagery of one person fleeing while the other is left trying to hold on to the remnants of the relationship. The chorus affirms that despite the pain and hurt caused by the breakup, the singer can't seem to let go and is still "dancing on the edge" of the relationship.
The lyrics strongly suggest that both parties have deep feelings for each other, but their pride and fear are preventing them from fully committing. The line "once eye to eye but never heart to heart" implies that there was a lack of emotional intimacy in the relationship. The line "You run for cover when the going gets tough / I know you tried but you were not tough enough" suggests that the singer feels that the other person did not put enough effort into the relationship.
Overall, "Dancing On The Edge" speaks to the difficult complexities of relationships and the struggle to reconcile pride and vulnerability. It highlights the inescapable pain of a love that can't be denied, and the emotional weight of memories that are impossible to forget.

It's a battle of pride which cannot be shared, and it often leads to loneliness
You can't deny, you said goodbye
You can't deny that you said goodbye to me
And walked away
You left me and didn't look back
Just like the game you always play
You always play this game of leaving without any warning
With my love
You always leave me in despair and my love goes unnoticed
I can't get, I can't get over you
I am still not over you even though I try
Dancing on the edge
I am taking a chance by continuing to hold onto you and living on the edge

And walked away
And I left you without looking back
I roll the dice of precious time
I am gambling with my time by not moving on from you
So don't lie to me
I don't want any false promises or lies from you
I'm dancing on the edge, the edge
I am living dangerously by still hoping for you and not moving on
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
This is just a musical interlude
