uncoded Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I cannot forget
You're the only air I can breathe
And I'm standing on the edge
You're the melody in my head
And I cannot forget
You're the only air I can breathe
The edge, the edge, the edge, ...
You're the melody in my head
And I cannot forget
You're the only air I can breathe
And I'm standing on the edge
You're the melody in my head
And I cannot forget
You're the only air I can breathe
And I'm standing on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, ...
The lyrics to Uncoded's "The Edge" are all about being on the brink of something, specifically a relationship. The singer in the song has someone on their mind who they simply can't forget. This person is the melody in their head and the only one they can truly breathe in. But the singer is standing on the edge. They're not quite sure if they should take the plunge into this relationship, if they're ready for it, or if they're even wanted in return. This theme of standing on the edge, of being poised for a decision, pervades the entire song. The repetition of the phrase "the edge, the edge, the edge" underscores this theme and creates a feeling of tension and uncertainty.
Beyond the plain meaning of the lyrics, there's also a sense of insecurity and vulnerability that adds depth to the song. The repeated phrase "and I cannot forget" suggests that the singer is struggling to move on from this person, possibly because they've been hurt in the past. And yet, despite this vulnerability and uncertainty, the singer is still willing to take the risk and stand on the edge, which makes the song all the more powerful.

Take the time to appreciate the drawing in the background and the music...
Just remember that people still take the time to do things the right way, just to make people's lives better...
and then remember to appreciate your life and the time we all live in.

I swear I see different well-known people on each of these tracks. You know, it was Geometry Dash that first introduced me to electronic music, and my first favorite was Can't Let Go. Thanks for that one, DJVI!
