The Edge
Living on the Edge: Annihilator's Anthem of Rebellion
Lyrics
The edge, I'm walking a fine line
The singer is navigating a precarious situation or decision.
To young to be waiting at stop signs
Expressing impatience and a desire to avoid conventional constraints.
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
The singer is passionate and unable to quench their intensity.
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
Ready to leave the current environment and seek something new.
'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school
Suggesting there's a unique aspect within the singer that can't be learned in formal education.
They teach it on the street, it's the only rule
Emphasizing the importance of street knowledge and unconventional rules.
It's the edge
Reiterating the theme of being on the edge, living on the edge.
The edge, I'm dying in the classroom
Feeling suffocated in a traditional learning environment.
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Questioning the necessity of conforming to societal expectations.
Keep your plans for my security
Rejecting plans made for the singer's safety and stability.
Because there's only one thing taking care of me
Dependence on something unique and powerful for personal well-being.
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
Describing the powerful and sharp nature of the force guiding the singer.
It's the way I run, it's a way of life
Highlighting the singer's unconventional lifestyle as a way of running.
The edge
Reaffirming the central theme of living on the edge.
You can't hold me down forever
Expressing a determination not to be restrained indefinitely.
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
Turning challenges into sources of strength and resilience.
If you can't take it, you can't make it
Implying that endurance is crucial for survival on the edge.
Out here on the edge for very long
Suggesting that life on the edge is demanding and not everyone can endure it.
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
Reiterating the intense and cutting nature of the guiding force.
It's the way I run, it's a way of life
Emphasizing the unconventional way the singer lives their life.
The edge
Concluding with a restatement of the central theme of living on the edge.
