Ledges
Standing on the Ledges: A Journey to Redemption
Lyrics
I've got a lot of loose ends, I've done some damage
I have unresolved issues and have caused harm
I've cut the rope, so it frayed
I've severed connections, and they are deteriorating
I've got a lot of good friends, keeping me distracted
I have supportive friends who keep me from dwelling on negative thoughts
keeping my sanity safe
They help maintain my mental stability
Here, I stand on the edge of the ledges I've made
I find myself at the brink of the consequences of my actions
Looking for a steady hand
Searching for guidance or support
Here, I stand in the land of the rocks in the valley
I am in a difficult situation, surrounded by challenges
Trying to be a better man (for you)
Striving to become a better person, possibly for a specific person ("for you")
And I drink a little too much, it makes me nervous
Consuming alcohol excessively as a coping mechanism, leading to anxiety
I've got my grandfather's blood
Referencing a family trait or characteristic inherited from the grandfather
And I take a little too much, without giving back
Taking more than one gives back, potentially self-centered behavior
If blessed are the meek then I'm cursed
Feeling cursed despite the common notion that blessings come to those who are humble
Here, I stand on the edge of the ledges I've made
Standing on the verge of the consequences of personal choices
Looking for a steady hand
Seeking stability or reassurance
Here, I stand in the land of the rocks in the valley
In a challenging environment, facing difficulties
Trying to be a better man (for you)
Striving for personal improvement, possibly motivated by a specific person ("for you")
I want to learn how to love
Expressing a desire to understand and practice genuine love
Not just the feeling
Not just the emotion but the commitment that comes with it
bear all the consequences
Willing to face the repercussions of actions associated with love
And I want to learn how to love
Reiterating the aspiration to comprehend and reciprocate love
And give it all back
Committing to give love wholeheartedly
And be forgiven for all I've done
Seeking forgiveness for past actions
Here, I stand on the edge of the ledges I've made
Facing the consequences of personal choices and seeking support
Looking for a steady hand
Searching for stability or guidance
Here, I stand in the land of the rocks in the valley
In a challenging environment, dealing with difficulties
Trying to be a better man (for you)
Striving for personal improvement, possibly for a specific person ("for you")
