On the Edge
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling Life's Edge Through Cadet Carter's Melody
Lyrics
There’s no point thinking about the holes inside my head
Contemplating the emptiness or flaws in one's thoughts or mind is futile.
all the words you chose stroke me like bleeding bullets
The words chosen by someone have a profound and painful impact, akin to bullets causing bleeding.
an inner sadness that’s long gone
There's a lingering internal sadness that no longer exists.
for the sake of keeping on
Continuing forward for the sake of perseverance.
I’m a driver not a passenger
Identifying as a proactive force (driver) rather than a passive one (passenger).
and I’ll keep moving forward til I’m done
Determined to keep progressing until reaching completion.
Cause I’ve been there and I know what’s going on
Having experienced a situation and understanding its dynamics.
what’s going on
Reiteration of awareness about a situation.
What would you say
Questioning what one would express or do.
if there was a song to kill all your fears away?
Imagining a song that could alleviate or eliminate fears.
I can’t be safe
Expressing the impossibility of being completely secure.
and I’m moving up now
Moving upward in life despite challenges.
on the edge and one more step beyond
Being on the edge and contemplating the next step.
I can’t be safe
Reiteration of the difficulty in achieving complete safety.
There’s no point longing for the sheets of my own bed
Dismissing the point of yearning for the comfort of one's bed.
cause when I’m calm I can’t stop thinking about the failures that I’ve
Reflecting on failures during moments of calm.
now it’s all wrong
Realizing that the current situation is incorrect or not as intended.
Cause I’ve been there and I know what’s going on
Reaffirming understanding gained from past experiences.
what’s going on
Reiteration of being aware of the ongoing situation.
What would you say
Pondering the impact of a song that could dispel fears.
if there was a song to kill all your fears away?
Highlighting the impossibility of complete safety.
I can’t be safe
Continuing to progress despite the challenges.
and I’m moving up now
Being on the edge and considering the next step.
on the edge and one more step beyond
Reiteration of the difficulty in achieving complete safety.
I can’t be safe
Repeating the challenges of attaining safety.
What would you do?
Pose a question about hypothetical actions.
What would you say?
Repeating the question about hypothetical expressions.
How do you feel
Asking about emotions when things are transient or uncertain.
when nothing seems to stay?
Questioning emotional response when stability is elusive.
So what would you do?
Pondering actions in the face of uncertainty.
What would you say?
Repeating the question about hypothetical expressions.
How do you feel
Asking about emotions when things are transient or uncertain.
when nothing seems to stay?
Questioning emotional response when stability is elusive.
cause nothing seems to stay
Observing the transient nature of everything.
