Too Close to the Edge
Love's Descent: A Journey to the Edge of Madness
Lyrics
So they say there is love
Love is commonly acknowledged, as claimed by others.
True and deep as the blue sea
Describing love as true and deep, using the metaphor of the blue sea.
But all i can recall is painful stings from you
Recalling painful experiences and emotional wounds caused by the person being addressed.
You're my greatest obsession
Referring to the addressed person as the speaker's greatest obsession.
I'm your way to damnation
Implies that the speaker is leading the addressed person to damnation.
If we can't have what others call love
Expressing a desire for a love different from conventional norms.
Then let's make the ultimate sin
Suggesting a willingness to commit a grave sin if conventional love is not attainable.
As we're heading for the unknown
Heading towards an unknown future or situation.
Falling down into the dark
Descending into darkness or difficulties.
I surrender to your poison
Choosing to succumb to the harmful influence or allure of the addressed person.
Now I see it thru your eyes
Gaining insight into the addressed person's perspective.
Can't stop the unholy love
Unable to halt an unholy or forbidden love.
Wonder if we've crossed the line
Reflecting on the possibility of crossing a moral or emotional boundary.
Getting so close to the edge
Being dangerously close to the edge, possibly of emotional instability or crisis.
Of Madness in this game we play
Describing the madness inherent in the love game being played.
Now the thunder is gone
Shift in the emotional atmosphere, from thunderous conflict to a calmer state.
And the rain fills your heart
Using rain as a metaphor for emotional pain filling the heart.
But the more it hurts the more
Highlighting the paradox that more pain intensifies the attraction.
That you keep coming back
Despite the hurt, the addressed person continues to return.
Is too late for a last chance?
Questioning if it's too late to salvage a final opportunity for redemption or change.
Will we ever forgive us?
Raising the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Now we're desperate falling
Expressing a sense of desperation and a fall into a tumultuous situation.
Into the eye of the storm
Entering a critical and intense phase, likened to the center of a storm.
