On a Razors Edge
Navigating Life's Razor's Edge: A Journey Through Struggle and Transformation
Lyrics
The way I write makes me stay up late at night
The act of writing keeps the artist awake late into the night.
So every day I fight trying to find a ray of light
Despite challenges, the artist struggles daily to find a positive aspect.
One day I might be the person that you need
Expressing a desire to be the person someone else needs.
Because searching for your dreams doesn’t work in your routine
Traditional pursuit of dreams doesn't fit into the routine.
And as certain as it seems that you can your best
Despite giving your best effort, change is hindered by persistent depression.
You’d try to change your life but every day you’re too depressed
Efforts to change life are impeded by daily struggles and sadness.
Who can guess that you would do a 180?
Surprising changes, perhaps a complete turnaround in attitude or behavior.
Shit, you should know the stuff you do for love’s crazy
Actions driven by love can be unpredictable and intense.
Some think it’s impossible to change
Some believe it's impossible to change.
When you’re walking in the rain trying to wash away your pain
Metaphor of walking in the rain to cleanse emotional pain.
It’s not even the same thing
Emphasizing that rain and emotional pain are distinct experiences.
So ride the waves slowly until realize what rain brings
Advising to endure life's challenges until understanding their purpose.
The pain seems constant with the ripple effect
Continuous pain with far-reaching consequences.
Quit envisioning your life always living in debt
Discouraging dwelling on a future filled with debt.
Just mind your business quit twisting your neck
Focus on personal matters rather than being nosy.
Because you have to fight through it, don’t live with regrets
Encouragement to confront difficulties and avoid future regrets.
If rain brings light and pain means death
Suggesting that from adversity, positive outcomes may emerge.
Every day of my life is on a razors edge
Life is constantly on the edge of uncertainty and danger.
So save your goodbyes and place your bets
Urging not to say goodbyes and to take risks in life.
While I hang on for life on this dangerous ledge
Hanging on precariously to life, facing risks and challenges.
Nothings better than a rain storm
Expressing a preference for rainstorms despite challenges.
Unless you need a shelter to remain warm
Conditions may be tough, but they provide necessary comfort.
I’ve changed form; I’m a jack of all trades
Being versatile and adept in various skills.
So I treat my life like a decathlon race
Life is approached as a multifaceted competition.
I’ve mastered all states of depression and anxiety
Having experienced and overcome depression and anxiety.
But I’ve changed my life around don’t question my sobriety
Asserting a positive change in lifestyle and sobriety.
The pressure of the irony is on the tip of my tongue
Feeling pressure and irony at the same time.
It’s like chain smoker smoking chewing Nicorette gum
Metaphor comparing life challenges to a chain smoker using Nicorette gum.
I’m a little bit numb but life is always hard
Feeling somewhat numb, acknowledging life's difficulties.
So you don’t want to spar me on your diet of chocolate bars
A warning against challenging someone who has faced life's hardships.
I’m Donnie Darko
Reference to the complex and troubled character from "Donnie Darko."
This is so and so’s nuclear but my music’s not like Margot’s
Contrasting personal music style with another artist's.
Our bar Codes are given the second that we’re born
Symbolic reference to the uniqueness encoded at birth.
So when you scan mine it says “I was sent here to perform”
Claiming a purpose in life revealed through a barcode.
I’ve never been the norm so give me respect
Requesting acknowledgment and respect for being unconventional.
Because when you live on the edge you can’t live regrets
Living on the edge requires acceptance without regrets.
If rain brings light and pain means death
Reiteration of the precarious nature of life.
Every day of my life is on a razors edge
Every day is a constant balance on the brink of uncertainty.
So save your goodbyes and place your bets
Encouraging risk-taking and avoiding farewells.
While I hang on for life on this dangerous ledge
Persisting through challenges on a perilous ledge.
