Ledge

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The empty chairs at your funeral
Tell me, how does it feel to find out you're so forgettable?
Your tombstone left in dire neglect
Every dry eye passes by withholding respects
No one chalked all of the lines
Traced your silhouette
A new couture corpse fit
Where you rot upon the pavement
Step off, step off
And don't be afraid to drop
When you're hearing no goodbyes
You'll learn to love the edge
Step off, step off
And don't be afraid to drop
Cuz you ain't worth shit alive
And even less in death
The crickets cry at your eulogy
The blank sheet of paper where your legacy should be
Every vase derelict and pristine
The flowers never bloomed, none of them bothered to seed
Take yourself out of the human race




I know you wanna let go, so let go
Step off

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Garek's song "Ledge" are about a person who has passed away and is now forgotten. In the opening lines, the empty chairs at their funeral emphasize that there was no one there to pay their respects. It is revealed that the deceased was so forgettable that no one even bothered to trace their silhouette. The lyrics suggest that the person's life had no value, as no one remembered them and even their tombstone has been neglected. The imagery of the couture corpse fit and rotting on the pavement is a metaphor for how the person's life had no impact.


As the song progresses, the crickets cry at the eulogy, there is a blank sheet of paper where the person's legacy should be, and every vase remains derelict and pristine. The flowers never bloomed, and no one bothered to seed. The chorus urges the person to step off the ledge and not be afraid to drop as there is no one left to say goodbye. The person's life was not worth anything when they were alive, and it's even less so now that they are dead.


In summary, "Ledge" by Garek is a poignant song about the fragility of life and the value of human existence. It is a reminder to live a life that makes an impact and to cherish the people we have in our lives.
