Edge of the Blade
City Lights and Switchblade Nights: Unveiling the Depths of Desire
Lyrics
The angel city with devilish delights
The city, symbolizing both good and evil, is filled with tempting pleasures.
I never wanted a simple life
The speaker desires a life that is not simple or ordinary.
Under streetlights I did my time
The speaker spent time under streetlights, possibly suggesting a gritty or challenging environment.
The blinding sunset she walks by my side
A captivating person, represented by the blinding sunset, walks alongside the speaker.
And at the end of the night
Reflecting on the conclusion of the night and its impact.
When you just wanna stay high
Expressing a desire to remain in a euphoric state.
Forget the things that you seen
Suggesting a wish to forget disturbing experiences.
Let the world pass you bye
Encouraging detachment from the world as it passes by.
But when she walked in the room
Introduction of a significant character entering the room.
You didn't know what to do
Facing uncertainty and confusion upon encountering the mentioned person.
All you knew
Highlighting the impact of the encounter – a turning point.
It was over for you
Conveying a sense of finality or conclusion after the encounter.
Huh
An expression of realization or surprise.
We're taking over this town
Declaring a collective dominance over the city.
Baddest motherfuckers around
Claiming to be the most formidable individuals in the vicinity.
Darling better watch what you say
A warning to be cautious with words when navigating dangerous situations.
When you're walking on the edge of a blade
Describing the precarious situation of being on the edge of a dangerous path.
Hold your breath don't make a sound
Advising to remain silent and alert in challenging circumstances.
We're the baddest motherfuckers around
Reiterating their dominance and prowess in the environment.
We all got our bounties to pay
Acknowledging that everyone has their own challenges or debts to face.
When you're walking on the edge of a blade
Re-emphasizing the precarious nature of their existence on the edge.
Right
An affirmation or agreement with the preceding statements.
Been a long time coming but I just couldn't ease my mind
Expressing a prolonged struggle or anticipation.
Hot wired eyes with a switchblade knife took everything in sight
Describing intense, focused eyes with a weapon, indicating a dangerous individual taking everything.
So I packed my bags and settled into a place way down below
Relocating to a place below, possibly a darker or more hidden place.
Where the angels swing from devil wings and warm me in the cold
Depicting a place where seemingly contradictory elements coexist.
And at the end of the night
Repetition of the night's impact on emotions or state of mind.
When you just wanna stay high
Reiterating the desire to remain in a euphoric state despite experiences.
Forget the things that you seen
Encouraging forgetfulness of distressing sights.
Let the world pass you bye
Advocating detachment from the world's troubles.
But when she walked in the room
Recalling the impactful entry of the significant person into the room.
You didn't know what to do
Reiteration of the confusion and uncertainty caused by the person.
All you knew
Restating the inevitability of the situation being concluded.
It was over for you
Reaffirming the finality or irreversible nature of the encounter.
Whoa
An exclamation expressing intensity or impact.
Whoa
Repetition of the exclamation, possibly for emphasis.
Whoa
Continued repetition, maintaining a sense of intensity.
Whoa
Final repetition, concluding the lyrics with a lasting impact.
