Lightning Or Nothing At All
Dancing on the Edge of Chaos
Lyrics
Call it myopia
Referring to a narrow perspective or lack of foresight.
Call it asleep at the wheel
Being unaware or negligent, especially while driving.
Off guard, blind side, long-con
Caught off guard, unaware of a deceptive strategy unfolding.
Call it however you feel
Suggesting subjective interpretation or personal feelings.
When you're staring at the floor
Being in a state of contemplation or introspection.
And I'm billing by the bullet
Billing, or charging, based on each action or decision made.
Pass the trigger right along
Passing the responsibility to someone else to make a difficult decision.
Try to find someone to pull it
Seeking someone to take decisive action or make a tough choice.
Dance around the rim
Moving cautiously around a dangerous situation or decision.
Or you'll fall in
Warning about the consequences of not being cautious.
On the edge while they were out for blood
Being in a precarious situation while others are aggressively pursuing.
Preying eyes and striking one by one
Observing scrutiny and attacks one by one.
You call it entropy
Referring to a natural decline or chaos.
But pretend you know how it ends
Criticizing pretending to understand the outcome of chaotic situations.
Two sides, one coin, my god
Highlighting the duality and unpredictability of situations.
Can't wait to hear the defense
Anticipating a defense or explanation in challenging situations.
Cause when the going gets tough
When faced with difficulty, friends are the first to leave.
It's your friends that'll get going
Playing on the saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going."
If you've never known peace
Suggesting that in times of peace, the concept of war becomes significant.
War's the only thing worth knowing
Expressing the idea that war is the only meaningful experience.
Dance around the rim
Reiterating the importance of caution in a dangerous situation.
Or you'll fall in
Repeating the warning about the consequences of not being cautious.
On the edge while they were out for blood
Recalling a precarious situation with a pursuit for harm.
Preying eyes and striking one by one
Continuation of observations of scrutiny and attacks.
I gave you everything you asked of me
Acknowledging fulfilling requests or obligations.
I think that's something we should both agree on
Emphasizing mutual agreement on fulfilling obligations.
We could be lightning or nothing at all
Possibly suggesting a choice between intensity (lightning) or nothing at all.
An easy kill
Describing an easy victory or accomplishment.
You're ephemeral at best
Describing something short-lived or fleeting.
I wish you well
Wishing good fortune despite the transient nature of the situation.
Cause it's so understated
Referring to something not emphasized or highlighted.
And I feel elated
Expressing a feeling of happiness or joy.
On the edge while they were out for blood
Revisiting a dangerous situation with a pursuit for harm.
Preying eyes and striking one by one
Reiterating observations of scrutiny and attacks.
I gave you everything you asked of me
Reaffirming fulfillment of requests or obligations.
I think that's something we should both agree on
Reemphasizing mutual agreement on fulfilling obligations.
We could be lightning or nothing at all
Restating the choice between intensity (lightning) or nothing at all.
I never tried to be your enemy
Denying an intention to be an adversary.
But I will take this to the nth degree
Expressing readiness to escalate a situation to the utmost extent.
Cause we could be lightning or nothing at all
Reiterating the choice between intensity (lightning) or nothing at all.
