Closer to the Edge
Flying with Feet on Solid Ground: Burlap to Cashmere's Journey to the Edge
Lyrics
Should have known it was all elementary
Recognizing that the situation was basic or fundamental
Lift my head and bow to the beat
Raising my head and moving in rhythm
Close your eyes and love is all around you
Closing one's eyes and feeling love surrounding them
The distant wave of a sea
Experiencing the distant, vast, and powerful emotion like a wave of the sea
Closer to the edge I found
Approaching a critical point or decision in life
I was standing in the second round
Being present in a crucial moment or phase
I was laughing but I didn't make a sound
Laughing outwardly but not expressing it audibly
Now I'm flying with my feet on the ground
Flying metaphorically while still grounded in reality
Hold me close you know that you have to
Requesting closeness, acknowledging the necessity
Tie me up pin my down
Seeking restraint or control in the relationship
'Cause I won’t fly in a broken wing dimension
Refusing to engage in a situation that is destined to fail
You change the chord and the sound
Changing the fundamental elements, affecting the overall experience
Closer to the edge I found
Approaching a critical point or decision in life (repeated)
I was standing in the second round
Being present in a crucial moment or phase (repeated)
I was laughing but I didn't make a sound
Laughing outwardly but not expressing it audibly (repeated)
Now I'm flying with my feet on the ground
Flying metaphorically while still grounded in reality (repeated)
Closer to the edge I found
Approaching a critical point or decision in life (repeated)
I was standing in the second round
Being present in a crucial moment or phase (repeated)
I was laughing but I didn't make a sound
Laughing outwardly but not expressing it audibly (repeated)
Now I'm flying with my feet on the ground
Flying metaphorically while still grounded in reality (repeated)
And me, I never had me a home
Expressing a lack of a stable and comforting place
Never sleeping in a place with my own
Never having a personal space to sleep
I was crying but I didn't make a sound
Crying internally without audible expression
Now I'm flying with my feet on the ground
Flying metaphorically while still grounded in reality (repeated)
